Superb Job! Really looks fantastic, you must be well chuffed.
Looks Like you had fun. What did it roughly cost you for the materials?
Yerah just get 2 Brackets bent up, and rivet to the Muguards. That will enable you to bolt your lights from the board to them. And then get a square number plate with a number plate light above it.
Just use all the wiring and bits you have from your number board. Bit of a Scrap heap challange special.
Just looking at it. I would also maybe put some perferated chequer plate on the rear section. Give you somewhere to stand off the mud and wet grass to get changed. Or even a little work platform if you need to do any repairs.
Obviously Angle Grinding,welding and designing is fun.
BUT, if your trailer is that well/Profesionally made. Why don't you sell it and buy a trailer as you described. Or even use the Cash to get a load of angle iron and trailer parts and make it from scratch.
Either way i could see you coming out of this with some Wonga in your sky rocket.
Also, if you scroll through the Trial Garage Forum, some where on there is a 4rt sat on a very nice trailer.
It looks like i'm advertising, but im not. It's just that Trials uk have some good easy to follow How 2 videos on their site, that cover things like this.
Have a look, there Banner pops up all over Trials Central.
Surely Laws of Physics say, if your slamming your back wheel down, the Carb Slide would be forced shut.
So yeah i agree, check cable.
Firstly rule out the cable getting stuck on the tank, remove the tank and start the bike and do what you do to make it mal function. If it still does it with the tank off, it's not that.
I would suggest taking the carb off and give a clean, whilst that is off remove the cable from the bike, and check how smooth it is. You may possibly have a few broken strands within the housing.
My poor old 2001 rev3 is getting a freshen up. Never mind all the oily bits, it needs to look nice...
Anyone know a good way to remove the old stickers? I've picked and pulled much of the stickers from the rear mudguard but haven't even started on the tank/ frame stickers. Acetone is making some impact on the remaining gloop, but it's slow going...
Thanks All

Heat up with Hair dryer or heat gun, And get off what you can.
Then I've used some Glue and Tar remover that my Brother in Law uses for Car valeting.
Absolutley superb stuff, just melts the glue and can be wiped off, without damage to anything underneath.
Don't know about the states, but i understand that in the uk the retailer has to, by trading standards sell an item at he price and description detailed.
If you've had a pretty Narly off. I would honestly Strip the front end down, have a look at your Fork Stanchiens make sure there not bent slightly. At the same time just remove your Triple clamps and genrally have look around.
Possible something may have slightley bent, or crushed the Steering bearings.
you may find something has been knocked out of place slightley, and when you release/Remove the Bolts, what ever it maybe will straighten back up. If that makes sense!
The Block where the Fuel Tap bolts onto, that is glued onto the Tank body has come away.
Has anybody succesfully glued this back on and if so how?
It is on a friends tank, the first time round i've used araldite, but he thinks when putting the tank back on he has either knocked it again, enough to take it off. Or the petrol has slowly been eating away at the adhesive.
Araldite do say that their Rapid range has good resistance to petrol.
Thoughts and ideas please, and not the obvious of buying a new tank.
As good as bou is, it was a 5 tonight, he rolled back with his foot down, Dibs did the same and they fived him. I know he would have still won, but at least it would look a lot closer on the results sheet. You got to have consistent marking regardless of level.
cheers
p.s. I know jb comes out with some drivell at times but on the whole he aint to bad
I agree, i was fumming at that, And it happens all the time. I'm sorry but JB is right to moan. Its crazy what Bou gets away with!!!
Get you a bottle water, run the bike up through the gears an do 2-3 good stops from 30-40mph to warm the disc, then douse it with the water to shock cool it. Do this 2-3 times then allow it to cool and resume normal operation.
If this is not quite enough, start process over.
Your new pads need to "cure" in and this takes a bit of thermal cycling to firm up well.
I agree with copemech, i was going to suggest the same. If you get them hot enough first time, it should work a treat.
Should be fairly easy for you if the wheels not locking up. Get riding around with the brake on, and don't come off until you stop to chuck water over the brakes. You know you've done it well you can't see for steam!!!
It's a feature of the forums I switched on just to see what it was like. People then started having a bit of fun with it (check out Baldilock's reputation!) I'll switch it off again at some point as it's not really that useful, especially when folk (including me) are using it as a toy
Hi Andy, yeah i just found another thread about it, but how do you increase your rep, or lower someone elses. Hay if people are having fun with it, leave it on.
my new trailer :)
