Classic Yamaha action
Hardly think spending £500 on a 40 year old trials bike is extravagant ? Or to put it in context, 3 months depreciation on a new bike.

Breagh and I swapped bikes and rode a lap, standard Bultaco against "modded" swm, I'm still in therapy. (Breagh and I are slightly different dimensions)

Lower Back Burn
Not only do I raise the bar's, and rotate them forward, I also move the foot rests down and back. 80's Italian (and Spanish) twin shock bikes seem to be designed around riders well less that 6' tall, I would argue that all I'm doing is scaling up the position. Having recently ridden a very nice bultaco in a two day trial, I can say the standard position didn't change my performance.

Wes or Sammy Miller internals
Why not contact Wes in Spain directly ? I'm sure he would be delighted to give all his hard earned information for nothing, it's not like its his lively hood or anything.
