jon v8 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Just do it ! They are great bikes,look out for all the usual things you would on a S/H bike,dont worry if it rattles a bit - they do that.Apart from a Fantic you cant really do much better as far as T/shocks go.I picked up an XT225 Serrow today,I'm going to put the engine in a TY175 frame I have.An electric start TY225,should make a change from the TLR mob ! But saying that its only for a change,I shall still keep the 3 TY250's. Nice thing is you can get nearly all the bits for them and with Craig Mawlem making new Majesty frames and all the other bits they are not just fading away.
