January 30, 201412 yr hi men i have a honda seeley in the garage thats needs a little help i need the bushes and pin for the swinging arm mud guards exhaust maybe the kick start i would also like info on the bike manuals etc all help would be appreciated thanks
January 30, 201412 yr Hi Try in motion for the parts, the Clymer manual is available for the TLR but it does cover the XR mostly. TLTEL
January 30, 201412 yr Bushes and spindle may need to be made up, if you can get dimensions it shouldn't be expensive, Mud guards crop up on ebay but you may as well use pattern parts again on ebay, exhausts are not available, but Wes can be adapted, there is someone making a pipe for Seeley yet again they sometimes list on ebay,. If you struggle with the spindle and bushes and get dimensions pm me I may be able to point you to someone to sort them.
January 31, 201412 yr I got my swingarm bushes off Dave Silver, xl185 is the nearest manual you will get. Front guard , i use a 98 beta techno (satin black) . Rear guard look out on ebay or the black stillmotor off Steve Goode.
February 1, 201412 yr http://www.honda-trials.com/_sgg/m8m1_1.htm Try this link it might be of great value to you. Also try Twin Shock Trials shop for an exhaust. All the best Brian
February 2, 201412 yr Author hi men thanks for the help will check up on the info you have supplied took a quick look at the frame and noticed that there,s is a crack at the head stock on the box section do you know what the frame is made form and the best way to fix it tig/braze thanks again
February 3, 201412 yr Hello macdee, Welcome to the Seeley owners club Honda part number for the swinging arm bushes 52147-028-300 its not easy getting the old ones out you may need to series drill out the rubber to release the inner bush and then use a hacksaw blade to cut through the outer casing to release the tension this will allow you to pull it out easily. Most engineering shops can produce a spindle in stainless with an 8mm internal thread to allow you retain it in place. ps I have posted a link to e bay on the other Seeley threads re an exhaust.
February 7, 201412 yr Author hi men would anyone know what kick start fits the seeley also the best way to strengthen the head stock as it has a crack in the box section also what is the colour code for honda red on this bike thanks
February 8, 201412 yr Here is the good one But I don't like this model, and finally put one of an 185 XL found new on the bay...
February 8, 201412 yr hi men thanks for the help will check up on the info you have supplied took a quick look at the frame and noticed that there,s is a crack at the head stock on the box section do you know what the frame is made form and the best way to fix it tig/braze thanks again Hi Macdee, Early frames were prone to cracking where the box section meets the headstock. This was addressed on later frames with a reinforcing plate brazed over the last 50 mm or so of the box, up to the headstock. Around the same time, the swinging arm support plates on the frame were thickened up as they were very thin on the early ones. The Renold 531 sticker on the swinging arm when the bikes were new related to just the swinging arm, and not the main frame. It might be best to see a later frame to see what was done.
