Hello all, I have recently brought a Seeley TL200 and the front forks sag by 4 centimetres (probably not suprising for a 1981 bike). Does anyone know what length the springs should be and/or where I might be able to get replacement marzocchi springs from? The bike also needs any airbox, so again does anyone know where I could get one from? Thanks

Hi all, Am getting back into trials riding after more than a few years off. Had a honda Seeley before several Yam mono's. Would really like a fourstroke again and twinshock for best of all options. Always thought the Golner honda's looked the buisness but could not afford one back then. Are they increadably rare and am I dreaming or can anyone point me in the direction of one. Cheers Steve.

Do you use the honda steel plates with the barnett clutch plates. I purchashed some barnett plates off Ebay USA but not got round to fitting them yet to my seeley.I hope they are as good as you say.

Hi Barnett plates sort the problem once and for all.I have them in three of my bikes.(TLR250,86RTL and TL200 Seeley) Plate no is HPK-19.

Hello all...in the middle of changing the camchain on my Seeley and find that the TLR puller I've got doesn't fit...any idea what Honda model puller I need? Cheers, Mark.

Hi, I am in the process of making a stainless steel replacement rear silencer similar to the Seeley one's i make, i will keep you informed if you like.

Hello fellow Honda people, Anyone know where I may get my hands on an original (or pattern) sump guard for my Seeley?? Currently got a home made one fitted and would like to improve things a bit. Cheers all.

Hi, My Seeley's just developed a rattle at the top-end and is a bit hesitant off the throttle. I'm guessing that it's the little end, but could it be the camchain? I've got a Haynes manual that covers the TLR200 and I've done a top-end overhaul on 2 strokes before but never on a four stroke. It looks pretty straight forward, but according to the manual to change the camchain I've got to take the engine out and down to the crank cases. Is there an easier way? I was only going to do the chain in case I put it all back together and it still rattles. How can I tell which needs doing? Should I do the rings while I'm there? Can I do the top-end with the engine still in the frame? Where do you recommend to get the parts and gaskets etc? Thanks in advance?

The book stayed at # 127. Sold my Seeley recently as I had been looking at it for too long and not riding it so it had to go. I wonder how long before Tommy Sandham does a reprint. Hey BJ if you hear on the grapevine give me a shout so as I can get my copy on the bay before they plummet. Cheers, Any one know why my symbols keys don't type the right ones, look at the pound sign, ?????

I cant think of a single part which is shared by both bikes. Everything is different. Engine,Frame,Forks Wheels,all completely different. The Seeley was produced 3 or 4 years before the TLR from memory.

I cannot comment on the condition of any particular motorcycle advertised for sale whether that be on e-bay or elsewhere, however the Seeley Honda Trials 200 (TL200E) produced by Colin Seeley International was indeed sanctioned by Honda UK. Honda Racing Service Centre (RSC, now HRC) provided a fair number of components to allow Seeley to produce the machine. The frames and swinging arms were made in England and a set of "state of the art" Marzocchi forks and yolks were used. A substantial proportion of the completed product was Honda. It of course is a fair arguement, is a Seeley really a Honda, well as it was agreed that a Honda trials bike was too much hassle for Honda to do themselves, why not contract it out to Seeley to do the job for them? I would say it is a worthy component of Honda trials history, can't ignore it! Edited to add: Colin Seeley himself told me last year that the company didn't actually make any money on the sale of the Seeley Honda trials machine, I think the list price was about

Lovely Honda Seeley? That's an old Knocker!!! not worth a shilling!
-
Talking of expence, No one has mentioned the lovely Seeley that is curently on ebay Item number: 120241326557 what a great bike, but what does everyone think of the 'Seeley' is it a bit of an exotic/limited edition or is this a piece of Honda History ?? also what do think this will go for ??

Ive seen these go for more in a far worse condition, at that price that's okay upper end of what I'd pay but okay. Reading some of your posts on numerous threads majestyman I really wonder about you some times. Without doubt the RTL Hondas were some of the best trials bikes ever built, that tatty air cooled mono is an exceptional machine and with the base that's there it wouldn't be tatty for long. if you knew your stuff a bit better mate you'd know that. Why do Honda's go for so much, simple really, they are some of the best bikes around, RTL's were exceptional, TLR's are still some of the most sought after twinshocks around and as for original Seeley's, sky's the limit. Perhaps the number of threads and posts in the Honda Forum might give that away. Oh and yes if I had the spare folding stuff I'd seriously think about it.....

Hello, I just bought a 200 honda Seeley in Netherlands (but the bike comes from Germany) in very good conditions (frame number 12xx) but with strange colors, dark green for the tank, black for frame and mudguards. Does anybody know if by chance these are the original colors? Thnk you Stefano

Well, in respect of the production motors, don't have any part numbers to confirm anything but my mate has stipped a few TLR250 and RTL motors and components such as valves, pistons, rings, cam, head etc are the same on both. The RTL does have a different ignition. From riding both the gear ratios appear the same, no noticeable difference. (we have a couple of TLR250 and a Seeley with RTL motors fitted) The clutch on the later RTL, '87 on I think, is a bigger item than the earlier RTL which is the same as the TLR. It has 1 more spring in the pressure plate than the early one. Whether it works any better than the earlier woeful clutch I can't confirm.... The exhaust port position on the production RTL/TLR head is the same and it will fit in either the twin downtube RTL or the single downtube TLR/Seeley with no problem. The RTL with the single front downtube was the works bike, you don't mean that do you as there is no documented info on those anywhere, they were complete one-offs. To get to 270cc was a major exercise even for HRC, stud pattern widened, oil feed relocated, piston was offset on the gudgeon pin.

Just taken a deposit on my Seeley. I was not using it so it had to go, no good looking at it wondering whether to use it or not. Used the bay as a shop window. Second caller sent a deposit. Make way for the Majesty 250.
-
Nice bike but not fully original as Big John knows my father has one with the Seeley branded front plate but more importantly a prestine genuine RSC exhaust what would it be worth or the mono version we made when i was 16 with the box alloy swing arm from a Honda crosser and a hydraulic stumpy shock from an airplane landing gear if only i had kept that or at least a picture to prove it

So what's it going to go for?? Clicky

Hi Chassis looks to be seeley, and the barrel looks standard 200 size,but it was quite common in Japan to take these out to 220cc, but maybe someone will remember the actual bike ?
-
Sorted the Fuel tap off Steve Goode. Any idea which folding tip gear lever is used on the Seeley. Also anything unobtainable and therefore would not be a good idea to damage if you get my drift as I am going to start to use the bike hopefully regularly now.
-
Sorry as I touched on this subject last year but I could not find the subject in the search facility . The Seeley fuel tap is leaking again. It has Ewarts name on it and it is the pull out type with a twist for reserve. I have had it apart this time and there is a felt type seal in it that gives no resistance when you turn it on, the felt type material has obviously dried out. I have soaked it in petrol to try to bring it back to life but no joy. I saw Steeve Goode did a tap for the Seeley but has nothing listed at present. But the tap he had listed did not look like this one. Has any one here fitted a different tap or found the Ewart parts? seal etc. Thanks in advance. PS the bike is one of the last ones built.

I don't know about the Seeley hangers, but I fitted XR400/XR250 pegs straight onto my TLR and RTL without having to change the hangers. I bought them from Off Road Only.
-
The seeley pegs, i used a pair of brackets that i purchased off trials cast.They cost

Thanks B J. Whilst on the subject any one know the closest paint match for the Seeley red. Thanks
