July 24, 200521 yr I know you said the parts here in Australia are gone, but try this guy Andy Chalkley 55 roberts St East Osborne Park, western australia 6017 Mob 0412 918 800
July 24, 200521 yr Author that's who i tried-i even had a KTM friend of mine stop by his shop.said he had very little left-after i sent numerous emails,i assume he doesn't want to be bothered.
July 24, 200521 yr Not seen too many Italjets over in Italy.......maybe they made Bernie take em all back to the US. Let us have a list of what you need.....more likely to get someone contact you with one part you need than a box of bits that are no good to you! Martin www.motoswm.com PS. ............or buy an SWM, better bike and easier to find spares!!!!
July 25, 200521 yr Author service/owners manuals,sprockets,tanks,seats,any plastic.gasket sets,rings,pistons,airbox,carb boot to airbox.,rubber piece for chain tensioner,exhaust system. yes- i will stay with these non wanted bikes. i am serious as well. can't go the easy route every time-someone has to ride the "bad" bikes too! thanks for replying! JP
July 25, 200521 yr Author can't help but try to see if there's any original stuff around first. if i can't ,then i will build,adapt,create. it would be nice to just bolt some of this stuff on as i am already creating alot of special stuff for it-will be a VERY light and neat bike when done.
July 26, 200521 yr Author true-but i need some of these pieces just for making patterns. sprockets can be made-but it would be cheaper to buy n.o.s. sprockets unless i get a batch made.the manual i do really need-gasket sets save time-the tank saves time as well-plus i actually like green! (but would be happy with white too!) if i ask for everything-then i might get stuff that people might otherwise think i wouldn't want but could actually use-plus it can't hurt-that's how i accumulated so much KTM stuff. thanks for responding!
July 26, 200521 yr A long shot probably, but UK dealer Steve Goode may have odd bits for Italjet trials. You can e-mail him at stevejgoode@aol.com or if you want to telephone 0044 (0)1938 850544 - drop the zero in brackets I think. He definitely has some bits and pieces for twinshocks as he has been trading since 1980 and was an agent for bikes from that era when new. Worth a try.
July 26, 200521 yr You'll find some specs and manuals here http://www.yesmoto.com.au/index.php?cPath=47 Paul Mac
July 27, 200521 yr Author thanks for the lead. it's nice to have people respond to a newbie-even if i'm being bullheaded about my machine of choice. will post before,during and after pics of this project.
July 27, 200521 yr No probs Better to be positive rather than negative I say... Paul Mac Edited July 27, 200521 yr by paulmac
July 29, 200521 yr Author if i'm a really poor trials rider,it won't matter.it's funny though,the mags didn't say it was that bad,couple people did very well on them in this country,and the model lasted 5 years.yes,i have ridden the one,although not much-it will do.plus it's kinda fun being the freak - i'll always have an excuse for why i'll do so poorly,but what will they say when this horrrible bike and rider do better than some of them????anyway -it's about fun, I like them and will enjoy them. so be it.
