January 28, 200620 yr thanks to woody for his advice,the mods are now complete. 1. footrests repositioned. 2. swinging arm length increased by 40mm 3. shock absorbers 25mm longer. 4. forks pushed thru` yokes 10mm 5. handlebar clamps repositioned up and forwards 20mm took the bike to bracken rocks today and happily it is much better,seems to grip and turn in great,the biggest improvement is the riding position,feels more like a modern bike.
January 28, 200620 yr Don't tease us with a couple of pics of the a*** end...wheres the rest of it ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well said!!!
January 29, 200620 yr Another beautiful finish. Glad some of the mods I mentioned came in useful. Nice job on the footrest hangers too.
February 13, 200620 yr wow! Mint! I love old bikes.. and this one looks truely great! Edited February 13, 200620 yr by Jackman
February 16, 200620 yr Hi, Nice job for a beautiful bike. Did you make special parts for the footrest modification or did you take parts from other bike ? regards
February 17, 200620 yr Yeah, I'm REALLY interested on getting a hold of footpegs like these. Does anyone know of where to get them? Is there a manufacturer somewhere that I could get a hold of? I would love to upgrade the pegs on my TY.. They are much too small for my likings (the ones I've got on it now). I need some fatter ones and lower, hehe
February 17, 200620 yr Nice work! A very well done series of modifications! I'm curious. 1) After the mods, if you stretch string between the axle centers, are the foot pegs above, on, or below the string (by how much)? 2) What is the final wheel base? 3) What is the measurement from the front axle center to the center of the pegs? Thanks, Ed

I need some fatter ones and lower, hehe <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Jackman, B&J Racing in the US sell wider, lower and further back footpegs for the TY250 twinshock but not as low and not as far back as on the TY in this thread. Mine are similar in size and location to the B&J footpegs and for my size (5'10"), are perfect with the standard length swingarm and handlebar mount position. David Lahey
February 17, 200620 yr Author the footrests are from sammy miller,the hanger plates are cut from 1/4" steel plate.they are 2" down and 2" back from standard.the wheel base in the middle of the slot is 52.5"
February 17, 200620 yr These are the wide pegs on mine, not sure who's they are but don't think they're Miller ones......... Left Right
