I was told that the GG clamp can be modified to work on the sherco. I am not sure about the scorpa (are you saying that you have one to sell??. If so I am interested). I was planning on using the oversize hebo bar mounts on the GG clamp. What size forks are on the scorpa? I believe the shercos and GG are 38mm. THanks

I am looking for a top clamp from a GG TXT with the removable bar mounts. I dont need the bar mounts though, just the clamp itself. Does anyone know if these are available aftermarket? Thanks JK

Thanks Guys, Wayne is the bolt spacing the same for the big bars vs the stock bars? I thought that it had a wider spread on the 1 1/8 bars. How did you use the wider spacing that the kit topcaps have with the original clamp spacing? also what did you thread the front bolts that come up from the bottom into. I have been wanting to do this for awhile, so any details would be appreciated. THANKS Again JK

Is it possible to put 1 1/8" bars on the Sherco? I know thry make adapters that go on the existing mounts, but they raise the bar 3/4 of an inch. I was wondering if the stock clamp could be modified to work? Would a GasGas top clamp fit on a sherco? THANKS JK

How much improvment do aftermarket reeds offer the 03 2.9? Where is the improvment between Aktive and Boyesen? ThanksJK

I have a 03 2.9 and when I hit sharp (small bumps). It sounds almost like the rear of the front fender is hitting the pipe or the tire. Its a slapping sound. Anyone elses bikes do this? I checked all the bolts... And everything is fine. I mostly want to rule out the possibility of internal fork problems. I cant make the bike do it without riding at fairly high speeds, so its tough to tell where its coming from. THANKS JK

I am in need of new bars and was wondering what bend works the best? I would like to use the tapered bars (tag), but I am not sure how the bend is, in comparison to the stock Dominos and the Renthals. I ride a 03 2.9 and I am 5'8". Thanks JimK

I am in the market for new bars and am wondering which way to go. I have a 03 Sherco 2.0 with the stock Domino bars. I have read other posts about modifying Sherco top clamps to accept the 1 1/8 tapered Tag and Hebo bars. I like the idea of the larger/stronger tapered bars, and have access to a great machinist . But I am not sure of the differences in the bends of the different brands of bars. The stock bend seems fine to me but who knows I may like something else even more. I am 5'8". Thanks for you suggestions. JimmyK

The Montesa looks stronger / beefier because it is aluminum and the Sherco is steel. It takes more aluminum to make the frame as strong as the chrome moly that the Shercos and others use. Rest assured that the frame is plenty strong. JK

I think that is a wonderful idea. I am new (1 year) to the sport of trials. I have been riding MX for many years I am 35 years old and tired of getting busted up all the time. I went to a world round at Goldendale WA several years ago and remembered how cool I thought it was. Not really having the slightest idea of where to get info and bikes parts... I chose to hunt out the info. I found out that there was a club in my town (spokane). It seems to be more of a underground sport at all levels of the sport (in the US). Just in the short time I have been riding trials I have gotten 2 friends to get trials bikes (both from MX ) and a couple more want to get bikes this season. Many middle aged men and women are getting back on bikes after several years away from the sport. I think that would be a great target audience for people wanting a bit safer alternative to more dangerous types of off roading. I think there are so many people out there don't even realize how easy of a sport it is to get into. And how much fun you can have with nothing more than a couple railroad ties and some rocks. I do however, enjoy the fact that it is kind of a grassroots sport instead of just the cool thing to do since you already have the "FOX" hat and want to copy Metzger. Not trying to ruffle feathers with the MX Freestyle group, I am still very into both. I still feel like I would much rather promote the sport to anyone who has the slightest intrest, Than keep it so exclusive. I cant imagine anyone who likes bikes to not have a great intrest in trials if they could just spend a half hour on one. JK

I just got a 03 290 and I was wondering if it helps to drop down a tooth on the countershaft sprocket? I had a TXT280 before the Sherco and this change made 2nd gear very versitile. I am just concerned that the Sherco is only a 5 speed ,making commuting between sections slow . Has anyone tried this gearing change or anything else? Also do any aftermarket companies make sprockets for the sherco? Thanks JK
