zerorev3rev4 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 You've got your work cut out for the winter months. I see a lot of Montesa stuff, but your nick name is zerorev3rev4, as in Beta. When did it all go wrong? bought a cota200 3 years ago to do some twinshock events then bought a few more to do up and move on also to gain more spares as some came with parts then started looking at 242,s for a bit of extra power heres one just picked up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis315r Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Finally got round to fitting my original Montesa decals and found a way of recycling the after market ones! Thanks to H & D Racing for sorting me out with the stickers Before: After: Recycled: Edited August 27, 2014 by lewis315r 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b40rt Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Can those shocks be mounted either way up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I like the angled back fender ...... (any port in a storm) ingenuity (or desperation) ! Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamanx Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys, Shocks are these: clicky link thing I don't know if they can be mounted upside down, why would you want to? I made the chain guard, because I couldn't find one, and the mudguards were generic which were modified to suit Because they were £70 the pair and proper Monty ones are £130 each!

Most modern shocks have the body at the top, worth checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Most modern shocks have the body at the top, worth checking. It also lessens the unsprung mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamanx Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Most modern shocks have the body at the top, worth checking. I suppose they could go they other way up, yes it would decrease un-sprung weight and, of course increase sprung weight, but on a 1973 Cota that ain't gonna make much difference, well not to me anyway But the image on the web site is this way up and the writing on the shock would be upside down the other way Plus I think they would "look" upside down, I like 'em as they are 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmartin247 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Cheers yamanx, that is the shocks that i was looking at buying. I think you should knock up a few of these chain guards as i would thing you could sell them with no problem.

eddie_lejeune Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 never seen shocks mounted like that before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mags Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I was so conditioned to "they always seem to be red" that I thought black (or any other colour) might not be very good looking? But wow! Great looking bike!! Mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
