boofont Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Seen these smart looking titanium fork protectors on the tryalsshop.com web site. Does any body know if they're available in the UK? Also, I've been sending e mails to the guys at tryalsshop.com but have not got a reply from any of them. Just wondering how much it would be to mail them over to the uk? Anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boofont Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Thanks. Tell him I want some TC discount too, after all, we're allies in war and the rest of the world hates us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgshannon Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Yes, the TryalsShop has them and will ship them to the UK. They are made by the same company that makes their flat skidplates for the Scorpa. I got a pair last year and ran them on my SY250. They are really neat, and add a cool look to your bike. The great news is that they fit right onto my new SY175! Go ahead an order a pair from the TryalsShop online. Once you near the end of the order process, the shipping cost will be calculated, based on the method of shipment you choose, and displayed prior to your entering your credit card information. You can always back out of the order, or change the shipping method, until you arrive at something you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I'm making a pair out of PVC. They'll snap right on and cost under a buck apiece. Yeah...I'm a cheapskate. Scots blood y'know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few toilet paper tubes and some spray paint might come out even cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliechitlins Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Don't get mad, Max. It sounds like you've never had to support a family and a hobby on a cigarette-money, schoolteacher's salary. And I would never 'bad mouyh' anybody for saving a few bucks. Besides...my fork guards will look trick as hell! I'll post some pics. You'll be begging me for a pair!!!!! I guarantee they'll look even better than the Hot Wheels track I used to zip-tie to the front of the fork legs on my MXer in the '70's.

steve fracy Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Good for you Charlie!! I recently found an old pair of Hyper Products fork guards that I used to use on my Beta TR33. (If you remember Hyper Products, then Iknow you are old too) I was staying at the Team Beta USA Headquarters one year while riding Nat'ls and doing some Neta events. I must have been bored or something, spent hours with a dremel carving little Maple Leafs as vent holes in the disc cover side! Still looks cool! Ah, to have that much time on my hands again.................. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you slate somebody for choosing to make something for their bike over buying an expensive part from a dealer? And then to blame the guys that do for the demise of dealers? I've seen it all now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I'm 42 myself Charlie. I've been married 22 years and I can't even remember what it was like to spend all my money on me so the PVC fork guards sound good. Hey, you can sit in the garage and mess around or sit in the house and play nintendo(?). Everything I like to do is in the garage. Can't make any sence out of the nintendo. My turn was always up in 30 seconds anyway. Put a picture up when you finish them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
