June 20, 200521 yr Thanks for that Mark - the old card and tape method eh... effective isn't it, I've made a couple of airboxes like that. I'm glad you said there is nothing in it as I want to have a go at making one for mine and it is easier if there are no internals. The one fitted to the bike is quite neat but it is steel and I'd like an alloy one. Must get it running first though...
June 20, 200521 yr philippe delwiche used to do the the 250 conversionalso a monoshock conversion, with tank/seat rtl-style another option was a longer 6th gear (30T) Was this similar to the Gollner Mono TLR's?
June 21, 200521 yr philippe delwiche used to do the the 250 conversion also a monoshock conversion, with tank/seat rtl-style another option was a longer 6th gear (30T) tlrs Can you give some details on the taller 6th gear? Was this done with Honda parts? Are the components still available?
June 21, 200521 yr sorry, i have no info on this, just a copy of the instructions that came with it: how to modify case & fork to accept the bigger pinion
June 21, 200521 yr delwiche monoshock tlr250 Just for interest does the shock work via a linkage? Gordon
June 21, 200521 yr Thanks for the instruction copy. I wonder if it used gears from another Honda model? The quality of the instructions suggest to me that it was not a custom gear manufacturer. (although 20 years ago instructions were not so pretty) A wider range transmission would sure be nice.
June 24, 200521 yr I've followed the engine conversion thread with some interest since I've been told that my Seeley has a 250 conversion. Until reading this I knew nothing of the Kondo conversion, and assumed that what I'd got was some one-off possible bodge job special. However, looking at the pic that RS posted I can see that my engine looks exactly the same and might therefore be a Kondo converted engine. It certainly has plenty of grunt But, who are or were Kondo? Any further info would be very much appreciated. And who is Phillipe Delwiche?
June 24, 200521 yr in his youth, philippe delwiche was belgian trials champion (74(?)) later he proved to be a gifted technician too clients from all over france & belgium visited his honda shop the man died in '98, shops closed...
