ped76 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hi all , got myself a little 245 to restore , as the previous owner has done little maintenance over the years and need a few parts to help along the process . The engine runs but the clutch basket has had it , i would consider a damaged one if anyone has something lying around , and the top yolk has a nice crack where the bolt runs through it .The exhaust silencer is in a real mess and should really be replaced. This is my first trials bike that i'm having a go at after building several other bikes , and i'm wondering if i've bitten more of than I can chew . I have spoken to Bill at frankfields (extremely helpful and knowledgeable ) and he said try on here . Thanks in advance for any help you can give me with sourcing any of the parts I need , and if you have any other 245 parts you think I might be interested in please call me Pete 07816906181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top yoke will be difficult to find as the twinshock and pre 65 guys will have these. It would be an option to repair if you know a good ally welder or probably the cheapest option to look for a later upside down fork front end as no much use to most people. Plenty of other bikes used the same yokes as the 245, Edited December 27, 2011 by furse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
