don't spose youve got a piccy?

what combination of parts do you think would make the perfect twinshock? eg fantic 240 frame, ty 250 motor, beamish forks, ossa back end, obviously leaving real world parts compatability out of it. just for fun what do you think

that looks loverly, go to the top of the class

thanks for the pic twinshockdude, i found a ty tank this morning, for

got hold of roger painter, he has a small amount of bits left for silver engine models. no petrol tanks

Thanks guys, twinshockdude, anychance of a picture?

i'm not haveing much luck with a beamish tank, so if anyone has any other make tanks going let me know. i'll make some mesurements later to get an idea of what will fit. thanks Ben

Thanks for that, i'll get either the betor's or falcons once ive sorted my petrol tank problems.

I just missed one on ebay, it went for 75 quid. i was put off because the seller had filled dents in the sides. any ideas how far off a ty tank would be, ive seen one cheep and wondered if i could adapt it for the time being.

ive tryed sammy miller, he has stopped selling the fiber glass tanks due to a quality issue. any other suggestions? thanks Ben

my shocks are blown on my beamish, any recomendations for replacements?

anyone know how much sammy millar charges for a new one, it don't say on the website.

i decided to try to get the dents out of my beamish tank tonite. my mate came over, we blocked up th petrol tap hole, fitted the air hose to the petrol cap breather, then i went to make a cuppa. when i got back, my mate is standing there with a sheepish look, and what looks like a yellow football. he just let rip with the compressor tap and promptly heard a loud DINK!! noise. luckaly the pipe blew off the petrol cap, so it didnt explode. so if anyone know of a beamish tank, please let me know. cheers Ben ps i'll try and sort some pictures

hi all is the intake manifold for a beamish still available? i noticed a split in mine tonite. if they are no longer available, is there a way of fixing it thanks Ben

be carefull i did my kx500 with it years ago, bike on trackstand, me sitting on milk crate, in my parents garage. i finished on side, and decided to stand up and step back to admire my handywork. i ended up on the floor, unable to get up. i had to call my old man to drag me out into the fresh air, where i stayed for about a half hour needless to say i did the other half outside pvc cleaner is dangerous stuff kids, but not as dangerous as spraying expanding foam, in a vehicle, thats being welded

my mate has a 1999 tx249, it has had a front end impact. he needs fork stantions and a front wheel. where would be the best place to look for these parts? and how much are they likely to cost. he's not bothered if they are second hand. cheers Ben

the best stuff for the job is pvc window cleaner, it looks like water but if you sniff it, it will blow your head off. if that doesn't work use autosol metal polish. if those two dont work, chuck the bloody thing away iv'e made some really crappy looking tanks look quite respectable with this method. if it works on your tank, spray some silicon spray on it, this seems to create a barrier over the plastic that stops dirt getting ingraned again cheers Ben

oh yeah, how much is the replacement tank from sammy miller, any ideas?

thanks guys, i was wondering if i could get the dents out like you can on an exhaust eg; pressureise it and warm the dents. (the tank hasn't seen petrol for a few years)

hi everyone i now have my beamish 325, i got her started today. she started 3rd kick . now for the questions, the petrol tank(alloy) has a few dents in it, what would be the best way to remove them? also the threded collar that attaches the fuel tap to the tank is knackered, it looks to me to be a replacement tap job. any ideas where i can get a second hand one? thanks Ben

i am hopefully going to do my childhood dream of compeating in a trial.

thanks chaps, i think i'm gonna need a tank by the looks of it. i suppose thats going to be a second hand job, i wouldn't need a new one as this bike is going to be used quite a lot.

hi all whats the spares availability for 325's, i'm not after anything specific at the mo, but i'm trying to get hold of one at the moment. thanks Ben

Hi all, just been given a rtx 212 1995 model, i'm after some info on it. is there a manual of any description for them? any info at all apprecated cheers BENSPEED888
