For those of you not already in the know, there is a dedicatecd website and 'Owners Club' for the Beamish Suzuki.

It costs nothing to join. It costs nothing to advertise your bike or parts for sale or place a 'wanted' ad.

There is a database held with a register of frame and engine numbers where you can lodge your frame and engine number just in case your bike is ever stolen - you can also enquire if a bike with a frame or engine number you are interested in buying is registered stolen. All this is free!

There is help and advice plus a members forum.

There are reproduction decals available taken from originals and the only ones approved by the Beamish Owners Club as authentic (there are a lot of poor copies around) sorry, these are not free!.

There are photos, brochures and manuals to download - all free.

On this site you will find details of the only annual trial with a 'Beamish Only' class.

The only thing we charge for is dating certificates if you wish to have an age-related plate for your bike - these are

Just a word of support for this club, fantastic resource for us beamish owners. keep up the great work .

Thanks S. M. much appreciated response, I don't get that much feed back and I you know I don't bother members with unnecessary mail.

You may be able to help me here, I have a friend in need of a Monty 348 kickstart shaft - any ideas?

Cheers,

Jim

If its the same as the cota 349, i have a couple of 349 parts engines which should have at least one shaft between them.

send me a pm if you want ...

cheers S_M.

I am able to offer dating certificates for those of you who are interested in an age-related registration number. Until the end of March they are just

The Beamish Owners Club is a very interesting and useful club/website if you are fortunate enough to own one of these great machines. I have been regularly logging on since acquiring my RL325. It's a pity there are not more dedicated sites like this for other marques. Keep up the excellent work Jim.

Thanks for you support Sherpatensing! Watch out on the site for new parts I am having manufactured..... chainguards first, engine sprocket guards are being investigated along with repro mudguards and oversize pistons for the RL325...

And I was just about to ask about repro rear mudguards for the last model (no frame loop)

Any idea on the chances of having some done?

Nothing else looks quite right that I have seen so far. The originals have a shape of their own

Hi Woody, I am looking into it. The problem is the small production run and specific colour of the plastic makes the unit cost very high. Current estimates are about

That's not a bad price for a pair (I'm assuming that is the RRP) The Yamaha TY rear guards retail somewhere around

I hope to know about the new parts by the end of next month, I will certainly have chain guards by then - watch this space!
