Alan I can do what ever you want. I believe taht I can get a Dollar Cheque made out at the bank and send that to you or do the same for euros and send that to Germany. I can get cash and put it in the post but that is a bit risky. If you gave me bank details I can get a direct transfer to your account. Let me know what you want to do and i will sort it this end. Cheers David

Alan I am sure that we woiuld be able to adapt the back plate to manage both cables. I am sure that I could get hold of the tap you mention but I think it would be safest to do it in metric which I am positve we have. Cheers David

Alan Yes I am in the UK. As you can see I am new to the forum and I will change my profile to show my location as you suggest. I am not too handy at welding but I do have a friend that is. I am sure he could adapt the fitting on the back plate. Have a look through what you have and let me know if you think it will be easier to send me drawings to have a go at having one made over hear. Cheers David

Alan Thanks for the tips. Sam is getting into his bike now and we are doing a few events. We have a farm so he is out at every opportunity practicing in streams and on bankings. The one thing that does frustrate him is the back break and I would like to make arrangments for you to make up one for me. This will help him a lot. Please let me oknow what I need to do to get the cash to you and hopefully I can get it sorted. I have already changed the levers on his bike as the origionals were hard to pull for him. Sam's bike is an 03 so hopefully he swinging arm should be OK. He is 7 years old but only quite light but I will have a look at where the setting is on the suspension. I change the oil regularly but I have not been doing the air filter as often as you recommend. I will get hold of some rim locks to help with his tyres. Did you ever do anything to adjust the clutch on the bike? I was at an event a couple of weeks ago and one of the dads said it was slow to engage. I wondered if you had done anything? Please let me know which is the best way to sort out the brake lever and thanks for the info to date. Cheers David & Sam

Thanks everyone for the responses. I will have a go with the fuel pipe suggestion tomorrow and see how he gets on. Any suggestions on any tweaks people have made to this type of bike would be appreciated. I look forward to seeing any pictures and thanks Alan for the info. Cheers David

My son has a Sherco 50 and the rear break is currently on a lever on his handlebars. The cable is routed through the cylinder head and it melts the cable. I believe that you can buy a conversion to a foot brake. Does any one know where I can get one from or have any suggestions how I can get his brake to work better? Cheers Dave & Sam

Andy Its good to see that you are keen. This must have been the first thing you did when you got back home. We left Pembery on Wednesday morning in bad wind and rain and Sam was on his Sherco 50 by tea time. Happy trialing from the pennines, we are off to Ripon on Saturday. Regards David & Sam
