petermac Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 rode it today at richmond trial but was let down by carb flooding, took most of the trial to sort it out , manged to still get 1 1/2 laps in so tried it out the front springs are very soft even with loads of preload, think they might be 125 gasgas rode great other wise swapped carb and forks from other bike, out again tomorrow to try again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelewis Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Looks good, where did you get the swingarm covers from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermac Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 the swing arm and fork covers are 4rt ones, trimmed slightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fp90lawrence Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Nice. Is that a Gollner tank? What tank is on your white bike if you don't mind me asking? How much did you Change your wheel base? What did you base your measurements on? I'm shopping for tanks for my reflex and am not sure if I want a full fiberglass unit or the Gollner style. I would like the most narrow one possible. I have an old beta techno...not sure if I want to part it out for the forks but I love the idea...

petermac Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 thanks for the questions its a shedworks tank on the red one, aluminium tank (better with modern fuel) , fibreglass shroud, any colour you want, the white bike, i dont know, was on when i bought it, plastic tank, fibreglass shroud wheelbase i will have to check, matched the fork angle to the 4rt you can get old gasgas or beta shocks and yoke for £100,. so its your choice, makes a massive difference with rockshocks and good forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 What gearing/ sprockets are you running ? I'd like to keep the lock plate on the one I'm building for my son ... Maybe a sweet as yours someday .... Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermac Posted October 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 wheel base is 133cm spindle to spindle, 4rt is 135cm forgot to look at sprockets, i think 11 front, 42 rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fp90lawrence Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Thanks for the reply. The tank on your white bike appears thinner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewtus Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Why did I look at this thread? *evil thoughts of imporoving my old Reflex "Outright Junk" beginning to lurk in* Nice scoot. Very well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewtus Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 get it modified, Believe me, I'm on the fence about this. A nice modded TLR would be cool, but then again OJ has....some...history just the way it is. Not to mention the fact that in it's current state, I'm certainly not afraid to take it out and beat the crap out of it in competition. I'd think twice about that if I made it too nice. I own users, not museum bikes. But your scoot is super-cool..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
