ishy Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 After seeing this picture I first thought why, but it is a nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickymicky Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Belongs to Eddie Bull, who builds grass and speedway engines. His workmanship is excellent. It was for sale, if he still has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishy Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I have had an RTL or two, looking at the picture other than where the top of the rear shock mounts, I can't see any other beefing up of the rear sub frame, is it enough ?.

jon v8 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Really cant see the point in doing that,an RTL is rare enough as standard,(Was not a nice bike to rideanyway.) and will only tee off riders of proper twinshock bikes.The Bath club has a section for over 50 year old riders to use mono's - thats fair enough.(Looking forward to a nice TY250R myself in many years time ! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian r Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Interesting exhaust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattylad Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 The RTL and TLR 250 are fetching about the same money so its a cost effective way of getting a better twinshock. Wouldn't do it to mine though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishy Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Interesting exhaust! I think the sherco 4T exhaust would look good and probably fit without too much work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I admit to being a bit stupid on these things, but what is wrong with that bike? It has two shocks, air cooled and drum brakes? Looks the dogs to me! My feeble mind has always envisioned something like this with disc brakes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian r Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Cope, It has 2 shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Cope,It has 2 shocks. Yea, I like that! I need something like that for all that ITSA crap now that the AHRMA is tits up! Never liked their rules anyway, can we get some real brakes now for safety if nothing else? I'm sure that would bee too much to ask! Have you ever tried to stop a Bultaco? Just nuts! I really like all this old crap iron, but it does remind me of when I was young and Really stupid, we have better stuff now in this decade, or last decade for that matter! You are just too young to remember just how bad that stuff really was. I had a disc brake on the friggin '72 Yankee for gods sake, this is not new technology!

axulsuv Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) Copey , Why all the bother about disc brakes ? In properly laid out twinshock sections , correctly set up drums are fine ! Were not all about the speed required in some modern event sections . And I know of a few drumbraked bikes that can do stoppies etc. with the right methods used . Although I'm not good at it , my fantic will with a little effort . And you should see Bob Ginder's son ride their honda ! He can do things so effortlessly that you just shouldn't be able to do on a twinshock ! At every ITSA event I get to ride , I always try to make some time so I can just watch Bob and Hockeyboy and our few other experts ride just to watch the technique . I always learn something ... Glenn And the bike above is just SWEET !!! Edited April 18, 2009 by axulsuv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
