October 21, 201510 yr Hi Everyone I am in the process of converting a TY 250 frame to Majesty spec, does anyone know what the rear shock length is or did they use the original shock? Regards Andy
October 21, 201510 yr Just put new rockshocks on my 81 majesty, orginals where 340mm, but put 350mm on at rockshocks suggestion as it increases wheel travel. Sorry don't know much about other brands.
October 21, 201510 yr Author Thanks for the replies guys, I have a set of 340mm shocks I think I'll start with them and see how it goes
October 22, 201510 yr Andy, I'm interested in your project.How are you doing your conversion ? Are you using a frame to copy or a jig etc ? Any photo's ?
October 22, 201510 yr Author Hi Jon I've literally just started the project, I did a bit of searching on the web and the name Bavins of Diss came up so I spoke to him and he said he had done a few conversions, so at the moment he has the frame to alter the shock mounts, extend the rear swing arm and grind off and clean up all the lugs etc that are not used and he's also getting it powder coated for me. I will post some pictures of the frame when I get it back in around 2-3 weeks
October 23, 201510 yr I'd be interested to see some photo's of what they do.Is it going to be an exact replica or just shock mounts and raised motor ?
October 23, 201510 yr Why the lengthened swingarm out of interest, as they weren't lengthened on the Majesty
October 23, 201510 yr Author I didn't go down the raised motor route as the trials that I ride in don't need the extra ground clearance, with regard to the swing arm Godden framed Majesty's did have a lengthened swing arm. I did take advice from the guy at Bavins and he said it easier to ride on steep hills etc. Its not going to be an exact replica as I'm going down the black and white colour scheme route probably won't be to everybody's taste but it's not their bike lol

October 26, 201510 yr As you can see I did eventually build a complete bike out of the silver frame I converted with the jig. I've done a few since and there is one which I must get on with soon...
October 26, 201510 yr Love the pictures of the frame conversion - that's a great idea for the jig you came up with
