after going to see a ty175 that was for sale, i came away with a ty250 majesty. i have had a word with a expert who told me its a dog and leave it alone as he can sell me all the bits to build one, what should i do?

Does the "expert" want to do you a favour and take it off your hands for a fair price ? What is it a modded Yam or Godden framed bike? If you can post some pics and an idea of what you paid there are a few on here who will tell you if it is a dog or not. Does it run and ride, is it a basket case ??? I bought a dog that was running, Yam framed and I will spend more on it than it cost me to buy. I have shelved it presently due to other commitments. Majestys have been flavour of the moment for a while. You can even buy new frames for them.

Yes, I too would like to know more, I'm after a Godden frame, Majesty tank and other parts but can't seem to find anyone that sells those parts.

looks like yam frame but has ally sump of a godden, welds are very well done. it has a ally tank. how do i put a pic on here?

It's possible to have a Godden style sumpguard on the Yam frame if someone has fitted one, so that won't help identify the frame.

If it's a Yam frame it will have a toolbox built into the frame at the top of the front downtubes. Godden frame doesn't have one. Also, the frame is cut and reshaped under the tank on the Yam frame to clear the spark plug cap. Godden frame is a different design so doesn't have this.

Frame number is on the headstock. Yam frame will begin 493xxxxxxx, Godden will begin 81 or 82 for example, which is the year, next two numbers are the month (I think) and the next three the actual production number.

You should be able to tell which it is from that.

However, doesn't matter which frame it is, the Yam framed bike is just as good.
