  1. Had Boyer on a B40 for about 15 years, can't fault it. Easy to fit, time etc. Hardest job was mounting the "black box" which is about the size of a cigarette packet.
  2. You sound like a13 year old girl.

    Carb Inlet

    Make a heat shield as well, preferably from carbon fibre to preserve the period look.

    Unlucky, as these engines are VERY robust. Martin M could give you a price to rebuild etc, or buy another engine. Aprilia TX TXR etc.

    1983 349 ?

    Hi htrdoug, Swm clutches can be made 1 finger light with the correct bearings and ramp on the casing, also good cable run and the right lever. Alternatively, a Aprilia TXR casing or engine is the way forward, and has a much smaller flywheel so the performance is not so lazy.

    Frame Differences ?

    Cheers Woody. On my bike I have moved my footrests down and back, lengthened the shocks to 395mm and dropped the forks 10mm. Steering is pretty good,as it now stands. I have just picked up a new frame and plan to steepen the head angle, any pointers would be gratefully received.

    Frame Differences ?

    Cheers Woody, any figures for footrest position and steering angle ?
  8. The relevance is, take a twin shock, revalve the forks, change the steering angle, completely change the exhaust etc etc - and its still a twin shock Bodge a couple of shocks onto an air cooled mono and your the anti christ.
  9. Is this the same Woody that argued that montesa yokes, forks and wheels should be allowed on pre 65 bikes ?
  10. Contact Boyer, they are really helpfull.

    Thanks Patrik, hadn't realized how different the forks were !

    Frame Differences ?

    Thanks Patrik, in the last paragraph you say the steering angle was changed with the betor forks, do you mean the design of the forks themselves caused the change ?

    Thanks, think he's away riding a vinduro in France.

    Frame Differences ?

    Anyone know if there are any difference to the steering angles between a Black 1981 SWM frame, (with full mudguard loop) and a 1983 Blue frame without rear frame loop ?
  15. A bit unnecessary. So Robs bike is 1965 factory fresh ?
  16. Your pockets are pretty deep George, it's just the pocket / arm ratio you must overcome !
  17. Tell Kevin to advertise a reward for its return on scumtree.
  18. Welcome, if you haven't already discovered them these are the people to know http://eastneukwobblers.webeden.co.uk/#
  19. Presumably, his parent / gardian signs the entry form give permission and accepting responsibility ?
  20. Welcome, lots of good people in Madrid. (You do not "graduate" to a Vespa)
  21. Many sports have handicap systems to level the playing field, no stop works well in trials. Don't like the rules ? Get a group of like minded riders together and lay out your own trial and enjoy. Don't try and spoil no stop because you can't do it.
