johnnyboxer Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Guys, all these bikes are FAR TOO CLEAN!! do they ever get ridden???? The Majesty I have is and has some battle scars on forks/frame/engine cases..............however my TY175 has never been off-road in its life and is a 'concours' show bike. It's all about how you look after them..............keep them clean and tidy,well maintianed and they'll look after you in a Trial............ However some bikes you see at Trials are in a shocking state..........never washed and poorly maintained, then people wonder why they break down or retire........... Trials is the cheapest form of Motosport..........but some people ride their bikes into the ground.......literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Lets just say it was (as I have always done) from the first batch of 04's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtt Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Did you add the reservoir yourself? ...and why? Not trying to be cheeky here, seriously curious as the the benifit you've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky boy Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 As well as the 'trick' reservoir the long drive and fancy looking garden would suggest to me that the owner is a rich builder!! Who has no reliability problems with his bikes has he can afford to change em every 6 months !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the artist formerly known as ish Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 (edited) Needs to be!! seld him a old bugger last time Looks like another rear shock on the market http://www.trialscomp.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=384 I have no problems with the stock unit, but I'm not a fat old bugger like Dabster.

Who has no reliability problems with his bikes has he can afford to change em every 6 months !! The drive is actually not as long as it looks, although the misses does moan about the wheelie bin! I have only ever had one bike a year till now. Most of my reliability problems concern sex! The cannister although it doesnt get in the way at all, is the only downside of the shock, which is a fair improvement over stock.

subira Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 As the Mk 1 Subira Replica has already been featured, I thought I post up the MK 2 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesy Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Very trick Subira! Where do you get all your bits? ie front pipe,rear silencer,tank,front master cylinder etc. The polished front rim looks nice too. What other mods have you done?

Guest Yamaha_dude Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hmm very nice johny, how much was the large tank and how much does it hold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yamaha_dude Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Quadrajet you seem to be quite good at photography, like the picture of the front end, what camera have you used? If it was a digital camera then what were its specs? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
