isaacely Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 How does it ride? Its pretty good, it steers well and the engine pulls from low down well. Its a bit heavy but you dont really notice too much when riding it. I have only done one trial on it a couple of weeks ago with the North Lincs Classic club and did well on it first time out. Its something different from the fantics and tlrs etc and I am pleased with it so far. I hope to make changes if required and develop it over the next season.

bigplonker Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 320 Majesty with special, hand made, elongated exhaust for smoother bottom end. Recently purchased as a retirement present. Always wanted one ever since seeing Mick Andrews on his works Yamaha up in Scotland in the mid to late '70s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattylad Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Very nice Majesty,whats going on with the front brake ? YZ backplate and hub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigplonker Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Apologies for not including a snap of the exhaust. Have now dug one out. According to the previous owner (the chap who's responsible for the superb condition of this fine machine - I've only owned it a short time) the exhaust was hand made by Keith Horsman to develop a softer power delivery using 'know how' gained when making the longer exhaust systems of the later Ossa MARs. Apologies too for being unable to confirm whether the front brake/hub is standard or not. All I know is it works and that's good enough for me. Thanks 'Metisse' for pointing out the forthcoming trial at Escolotte near Duras. Googled Escolotte and nothing came up, but I know Duras is SE of Bordeaux so I may well try and get down there on the day. Are there any other twinshock or pre '65 events coming up in the central region? Edited January 14, 2014 by bigplonker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigplonker Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Aha! Spelling mistook - Esclottes, not Escolottes. Thanks for link. Looks a fun club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon v8 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 YZ backplate and hub? I think you might be right,the hub looks bigger than a standard TY,I've also seen a tls hub used from a YZ too,apparently an excellent brake. Certainly a nice looking bike,be interesting to compare how it runs with the longer pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robf Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Very nice - and the front brake is interesting. What is stopping the backplate from spinning round ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robf Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Here is my TY250a It's a long way from being 'finished' but it's slowly getting there. Not had a chance to ride it with the new exhaust and forks that work ( well I hope they do ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
