Im hoping to fit a pair of ty mono forks to my majesty does anybody know if the majesty front wheel can be used or will I need to fit the whole mono front end as at the moment Ive only got the forks

I have a mono front end on my Majesty using the mono wheel so I didn't check to see if the Majesty wheel would fit, but the following needs to be overcome;

- mono forks take bigger diameter spindle than Majesty

- Majesty wheel has torque arm whereas mono doesn't so you'd need a bracket fabricated to hold the brake plate

- new wheel spacers would need to be made

- speedo drive won't fit

You can get a mono front wheel complete with spindle and brake plate from Ellastone Offroad but they probably aren't cheap. Check ebay as there have been a couple on there recently but watch that the rim isn't rotten anywhere.

Further considerations;

- Majesty yokes need boring out to take larger diameter mono forks. Mono yolks won't fit Majesty headstock as the bearing size is different. I fitted a new steering head to mine to take the mono yokes.

- Majesty yokes have less trail than mono yokes so if you aren't altering the headstock it is best to use the Majesty yokes. This is what Nick has done.

- Majesty forks are in-line axle whereas mono are leading axle so it will alter your steering slightly but it may not be noticeable. Nick's steers ok. I steepened the angle on mine with the new headstock. Later Godden framed bikes have quicker steering than the earlier Yam framed bikes (reputedly anyway, I don't know for sure but it stands to reason)

I'd say it is less hassle to use a mono front wheel and although it may prove pricey it may be the easier option as all you have to do is to bore out the yokes and in it goes. It also has a better brake - usually anyway...

cheers for that woody, while I remember what carb and jetting do you use on the 340, as my 320 engine is all brand new inside and was rebuilt by some one who knows what the are doing, but as I said before it was great in sections but pinked and knocked between when opened up. Also who makes the larger airbox you mentioned, as mine is still the ty item with inside removed and a ty mono filter in the top. The exhaust is the wes type so Im pretty sure that my problem has got to be carburation and timing ( its also got electronic ignition). Do you know Nick Shield? if so, do you know the set up on his, as it seems to work ok.
