Avise needed please. Iam building a bsa bantam trials project , not for competition use . can any one advise the best way to go to replace the front forks for more modern replacements that would be suitable for trialing . I do not wish to spend a fortune and require replacements that do not require major engineering to fit . I also understand that the bantam swinging arm will not take a modern 400 x 18 tyre with out it rubbing on the edge of the tyre . Does any know how to widen the swinging arm ? Help and advise appreciated

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERY ONE Could any one recommend a supplyer of stainless steel rims and spokes for my triumph tiger cub wheel rebuilds ..or even better some one who could supply and rebuild I have not been successfull in sourceing any local .. advise apppreciated

THANKS FOR THE INFO I seem to remember when i bought them the guy said the flange fit up , but it was a while ago and i cannot be sure . i know its a 50 - 50 chance but i cannot risk it , they are a really tight fit and in the case of mistake i would have to destroy them to remove from the holders ,

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERY ONE . I need help on my winter project , a bsa c15 , but i have hit a problem immediately during the first few minutes of starting work on this project .( back to the repeats on tv ) Iam using the original fork seal holders which are missing the seals i have the new ones but the bsa manuals are very vaig and give no info , they give no indication on which way up they fit in the holders ? Does any one know if the flanges on both the seals face upwards towards the yoke or face down ? any information supplyed will be very appreciated

thanks for your input , much appreciated .... and very good advise . i do not really plan on useing it in pre65 so not too fussy ,. i just want forks with better performance than the standard c15 forks . i have dwelled on the problem a little more , in my opinion , i may be wrong ? the only thing stopping me fitting for example- x l -fork legs in the original c15 top yoke is the absence of the pinch bolts most modern bikes have pinch bolts on the top and bottom yokes , the british c15 have pinch bolts only on the bottom yoke and the top yoke takes large nuts which screw in to the top of the fork legs and tighten ,to secure legs to top yoke . i do not think it would be a problem to ream out the yokes to take larger diameter fork legs , the problem is the absence of pinch bolts on the top yoke ? if there is a way round this i do not know .

I HAVE JUST RECENTLEY AQUIRED A C15 BASKET CASE IAM NOW REBUILDING SLOWLY WHICH I INTEND TO USE FOR GREEN LANEING / TRIALS . WHEN IT COMES TO MODIFICATIONS LIKE THIS I COME UNSTUCK , CAN ANY ONE ADVISE ME ON HOW TO CHANGE THE FORKS FROM THE ORIGINAL ONES TO A MORE MODERN REPLACEMENT SET. ? ARE THERE FORKS I CAN REPLACE THAT ARE EASYER TO FIT THAN OTHERS ? THE PROBLEM I CAN SEE IN CHANGEING THEM, IS THE BEARINGS ON THE REPLACEMENT YOKES I.E WOULD THEY NEED MACHINEING , MODERN FORKS SEEM TO RUN ON TAPER BEARINGS WHERE AS THE OLD C15 FORKS HAVE THE ROLLER BEARINGS . HELP - CAN ANY ONE GIVE ME SOME GOOD PRACTICAL ADVISE WHICH WAY TO GO ?
