fish06 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Looking for info on converting a D7 into a trials bike for Classic/Pre 65 trials, what mods would you recomend doing to a D7 to get it trials ready? I'm thinking strip down the frame and sharpen up the head angle (what degrees?) maybe widen the swing arm for a slightly bigger tire, alloy tank/seat........ I'd be gratefull for any advice/links/pics etc... Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish06 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Would a rake of 67 degrees (23 from vertical) sound about right? Any idea's on front forks that would be pre-65 legal? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) check out the yorkshire site. plenty of decent bantams appearing there now. steve thomas was one of the first in recent times and his bike although certainly not a spoit and polish special is probably the most competative http://www.yorksclassictrials.co.uk/images...ection4_JPG.jpg http://www.yorksclassictrials.co.uk/images...SteveThomas.JPG http://www.yorksclassictrials.co.uk/images...MickHaslam..JPG http://www.yorksclassictrials.co.uk/images...lDriffield..JPG http://www.yorksclassictrials.co.uk/images...kDriffield..JPG Edited June 11, 2009 by totalshell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
