I've got an 87' garelli 323, but when i search the net i'm struggling to find much info on the garelli trials bikes???

Anyone know much about them or got any links??

I've got the engine out to sort out a clicking 6th gear and to fit a new piston kit, but i need to get the cylinder replated?? anyone know where i can get it done at a reasonable price???

Heres a pic of it when i first bought it, now its got new high rise silver renthals and renthal grips.

I think there is only Langcourts in Weston that plates cylinders - or at least they are the most commonly used (as in the only one that most people have heard of)

Or search google for others

two platers in the uk and only one does a great job.. cost you about a ton

Bit drastic, but if you do I'll buy the reat wheel.

You cheeky scally, she's a puppy!!! your only jealous that the stator has lasted 21 years!

I'm getting there with parts for the engine, i've got a brand nos garelli piston kit, 2 new gears and 1 new shift fork and most of the new bearings for the bottom end!!

Just waiting to get 2 more bearings before i can start the rebuild!!

Well the bottom end is finally rebuilt and i picked up the top end freshly re-plated ready to go on tommorow!! hopefully it'll be back together by next weekend theres a trial i want to do on it in a fortnights time!

I've been thinking about repainting the engine silver instead of black?? i think it'll suit the bike more than black.?!?!?!? i've seen it in done some fantics and it looks much nicer.

I painted it silver and did'nt like it so now its black again!! all rebuilt and ready to go back in the frame maybe tommorow afternoon?

I've turned it over and it's got mega compression now!!

i'm not looking forward to putting the engine back in it was hard work getting it out!?!?! hell of a tight fit..

She's a runner!!! it sounds mint

All back together except the rear silencer, got to mod the silencer, do the fork seals and run the beast in!

With all that new compression, be careful with the kicker....

It's got mega compression now, it's like kicking a 370 gasser.

I've been told that the kick start gears are strengthened / upgraded on the 87' garelli!!

fitted new fork seals yesterday to the marzzochi forks theres 2 in each leg (47 35 10) if anyone needs to know!! and some nice silkolene light gear oil..

Just need to sort the silencer and run it in before the trial on sunday, i havent rode a trials bike for months i'm gonna be all over the place!

I ordered new pads and shoes if they come in time i'll have to fit them a bit quick..

The bike has sat at the side of the garage for a year and 2 weeks until last week now she's being spoilt!

i'll post some recent pics soon.
