February 14, 201115 yr Hi all, Just picked up a TY250 mono, and have some questions that I would appreciate your help on. The bike is all complete, I just stripped it down to bring it home: front disk, blue forks and the frame number suggests its a

February 16, 201115 yr Author Thanks for the replies, I guessed that the seat cover is a home-made thing, but its been done neatly so may as well leave it on for now

February 16, 201115 yr Pinky models have frame and engine numbers starting 4AJ Pinky tank stickers are cheaply available on e-bay but due to the nature of the plastic tanks they wont stay on for long.

February 25, 201115 yr I noticed the mention of"tank cover" so was there someone making tank skins or covers for the plastic mono tanks back in the day I haave yet to see one on the flea bay but here in the states there is very little that shows up for the mono's
February 25, 201115 yr I noticed the mention of"tank cover" so was there someone making tank skins or covers for the plastic mono tanks back in the day I haave yet to see one on the flea bay but here in the states there is very little that shows up for the mono's Don't know who made them but i bought a Pinky a while back and that had a tank cover.
