Not really I took it off after a think about it ,proberly box it and forget it ,was a silly idea I admit it,

Had a guts full of fantic I just gave up does not help when u can't get a manual ,downloads,or imformation to know what u doing ,that's gone on eBay let someone else build it I'm after a ktm

The twin and mono frames start with same numbers 403 the mono had so many names numbers drums it was like a bike that wasn't ,to get parts it was like a made up bike I like fantics but not that one a score sounds about right,

I fancied a change so I put my fantic 403 with a 300 frame on eBay rebuild job hobby,how much should I let it go for ,I got a ktm 250 and the piston is black and sooty is it good or bad thanks

What was the year the last twin shock?and the begining of the mono? I have a donor bike mono and a twin frame,with frame numbers 403 *3400....* I put them on auction site but pulled i didn't have heart to sell,which is the best to restore twin or mono many thanks Jon

Hi ,how do I know the year of my old bike,can't get any info I'm just curious, I've stripped the bike to make a twin ,the frame is 34007375. Fm 403 how can u find out is there a data thing ,thanks jon

Scrap this if any use,30pound eBay,loads of other engines u can mix and match and big bore 80, minarelli,

Sorry forgot to say it's fantic 80 trials

This is on eBay now any good?

If the twin and mono frames have almost the same frame number fm403*3400xxxx* what year are they is there a chart to find out? Thanks jon

They both have same frame numbers mono and twin ,fm *3400xxxx* so most bits fit I think exhaust will be modified that's weeks away tho classic trials is a good info know of any other sites? ,thanks jon

It's hard learning, it is a good hobby tho, I been all over web fantic doesn't give much out do they , thanks for advice,Jon

Hi ,so I got these 2 sets of frames 403s and want a twin shock , I got gas gas forks getting yolks,how do I know what bearings to buy,also ,do I need new spindles ? this is a bigger job than I thought , and there are no fantic manuals, how do others know how parts fit,the engine is no probs fit straight in.i suppose reading and looking at forums is the way forward,on I read,thanks, Jon

They are confusing, which model I don't know?

301 fm 266 yr 1986 red and white 301 fm 266 progress 2 yr 1986 tri colour 301 fm 403 yr 1985 red and white 300 fm pro yr 1984 300 trial 1985

U are right,I'm sticking to the 403 mono to 403 twin I got them ready,thanks

No,it was a progress1 403 ,1985 I think , more like this

I now got a 240 twin frame ,so that is the best one to use ,? Im starting a collection I think eBay then get rid of them

It's a mono ,an early one I think ,thanks

I bought a 403 twin shock or 300 frame then gas gas forks it will take some mods but worth starting a new hobby ,

I never said its a work bike,all I said is its different,u can't pick works bikes up on eBay for 400 quid,I' don't think I've shown a photo of fly wheel cover side,as saying I got it as a doner bike I got a twin frame to build on I'm new to fantics and just needed advice which parts to order by frame n/o for the engine,for a hobby,the frame gone now history,I just thought it was different because of added frame part proberly stuck on to hide a fracture so no offence to Fantic fans if anyone got wrong impression ,all I want to know why was it there I show pic .

I been reading previous posts,and there is another bike like mine at the end of Fantic forums,apparently when the monos came out the 300s were obsolete and there were loads left over,so the dealers mainly Canada bought loads of bits and converted them that's how some still had front drum brake and called 403 progress it is like a made up bike from all other models till the 266 p2 came in 86 apparently they pushed the bike for Thierry to win the title,he had a proto way before to practice on,true or not I don't know I was bored and read Italian and French forums with Google translate, to answer you question I don't know way above me,so I think they came out the factory and converteted later it's still a 403 at the end. To be honest I was looking for parts and history of the bike on line bought a 403 ts frame to convert it's like 85 had a big gap , having a good few beers and posted the forum messing about I'm more confused than anyone, now I'm sober I got to take the mono bits off eBay and store them it was the model that won Fantic world champ might be a bit interest in years ahead like t/s are today.i don't know enough to be taken seriously
