Doug ; but you've got to understand , my first trials bike was a poweroll breathed on tl125 that was around 175-180cc and I only weighed about 110lbs when I rode that , had a tl250 too for a bit , got to use a RTL305 and a RTL360 for a few events ... Then I got cut off from trials thru no fault of my own .(thanks dad) In the interim I've had BSA gold stars and a XR500 to play with in the desert . I LIKE TORQUE ! none of this slip the clutch stuff , I want to idle at 500 rpm and snap the throttle open and launch ! (but then I'd have to get that NO FEAR attitude I had when I was a teenager !) But a good sized four stroke is for me , I love riding my freinds 4rt (that has hrc dualmapping programs and is a animal or as smooth as you could ask for ) but I can't deal with the must have high idle speed of the fuel injection . Stop or no stop sections I tend not to use my clutch much ... So I want a 4t with a accelerator pump in the carb !!! But I still love my geared to low for most folks Fantic ... Glenn And on edit , there are a few reflexes in SE. ITSA that are amazing bikes , and their riders ain't no slouches either And JT ; you should come up to Hendersonville ,NC. on the 21st of this month and ride the MTR event , hosted and layed out by last years natc twinshock champ ! Great Venue ... And the Holberts lay out sections just like Bob does .... class perfect !

+1 Glenn

If you've got all the dimensions you could try vxb bearing , Google the name , Great prices and service ... Glenn And you may want to check with All Balls brgs. too ....

I had inquired a month or so ago to RYP , I was told they are still available , just built to order ... Still thinking about one ... (thump thump thump thump thump thump ....) Glenn

Thats what I'm Talking About ....

I'm waiting for a photo he's supposed to be sending , I hate waiting , cause I need another bike to use while I replate my trusty 240's cylinder ! I'd even get one of the last aircooled's if thats what it is ... Not krazy about k roo's though ... A late section would work though... Glenn And would it be sacrilegious if I put a Fresh TY80 motor into the 50cc fm330 I've got ? P6 minereli parts are kinda hard to come by and it would be a easy swap ...?!?

Has anyone ever seen or owned a 1998 C@sta ? And is it just a '97 section with reduced plastic covers ... I'm going to go look at a (the owner says) 1998 Fantic 250 ... Thats about all he could tell me about the bike ... I just figure if I'm gonna get a modern bike , I need the newest Fantic I can find ! Glenn

Works for me !!! You fine folks have kept the SSDT running thru all the B.S. of the last hundred years (depressions , world wars , extreme greenies , etc. etc.) Would it be possible to place a motion detecting camera or 2 in the areas of concern ? I couldn't handle my bucket list prime item taken away by a moron ... Glenn

How much work was need to get the pivot bolt to work , with the motor mount and new arm ?

What did the swing arm start life as ? Looks Good Glenn

Contact Bob Ginder @ B&J racing in tn. Or you can try Chris at classic trial in the UK, I think he make a alloy tank for them ... Good luck Glenn

Always interested !!! Thanks Glenn

And it's the even rarer electric start model !!!

Makes me appreciate my trusty 240 pro even more :banana: :banana: and it was NO STOP ! Makes it worth watching!! Can't wait till this weekends event Thanks, Glenn

In our club , MTR (ITSA sanctioned and insured ) Modern or twinshock pick a class and ride it ... We all ride the same Lines , be it novice , intermediate or expert ... The score keepers separate the novice twinshock from the modern novice etc. etc. And I want to see the drilled spokes too ... post a photo of that please ? Glenn

It's gotta be the solar Flare ... Or he's in DHS....

THANK YOU!!! Made my Day (quit locking up your back wheel ?)

Set your preload so the bike drops the same front and rear with your weight centered on the bike ... So your weight doesn't change the bike geometry . You will most likely need help to measure your suspension drop . Start with equal and then play with it to your liking... glenn

Boy, by the amount of work Ryan is getting these days , either trials is gaining in popularity a little , or we are taking it a little more seriously ... And you couldn't ask for a better teacher ! Glenn

Look around your local area , there are a few trials clubs close to you , Contact www.socaltrials.com comes to mind . And if my memory still works , I think the oldest your 300 can be is a late 83 or a 84 model . Fantics are great bikes and learning trials will make you a all around better rider . ​ I conquered competition hill at glamis on a TL125 honda way back in the early 70's ... But I only weighed about a 100 lbs back then ! And I do remember how hot that bike got on a cool thanksgiving weekend . Long before glamis turned into the carnival it became in later years ... Good luck with the bike , all the parts are out there and available , you just have to hunt for them !!! Glenn

Clean them , get some boot oil on them , and wear them out !!! Glenn

Gotta 2nd that , my dellorto wasn't bad , bike ran good , but Chris's carb transformed it , and more than one person that has ridden it comes away with a big smile... (and a few of them had and or rode for Fantic when they were new .!.!.)And unless it's freezing out (literally) mine always starts first or 2nd kick from cold and first when warm . Money very well spent . Glenn

HHMMMM , about 20k in usd ,+shipping and insurance .... might have to wait till next week for that one . Would love to own it though !!! Glenn

Thanks for that ...

Do the new Rock Shocks have a "heim type joint" at the mountings like the NJB trikshocks ? I can't tell from the photo's I've seen of them . Thanks Glenn
