thedktor Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi all, Just picked up a TY250 mono, and have some questions that I would appreciate your help on. The bike is all complete, I just stripped it down to bring it home: front disk, blue forks and the frame number suggests its a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feetupfun Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Frame and tank look like Pinky. Pinky did not have a tank cover. No idea what the seat it from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jse Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Frame and tank look like Pinky. Pinky did not have a tank cover. No idea what the seat it from Didn't someone re-cover the stock seat base and pull the home made cover down the sides for some reason?

neale Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) if you remove that seat cover you will find the original plastic and a seat pad. tank cover is an after market item. Edited February 14, 2011 by Neale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedktor Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks for the replies, I guessed that the seat cover is a home-made thing, but its been done neatly so may as well leave it on for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougalthedog Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Pinky models have frame and engine numbers starting 4AJ Pinky tank stickers are cheaply available on e-bay but due to the nature of the plastic tanks they wont stay on for long.

thedktor Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Ah, yes my engine numbers starts 4AJ so pinky it is - happy with that. Agree about the tank stickers, no point spending 20-30 quid if they won't stay on, which they won't as we know. Oh well, I bought it to ride not put on the mantelpiece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searay175 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I noticed the mention of"tank cover" so was there someone making tank skins or covers for the plastic mono tanks back in the day I haave yet to see one on the flea bay but here in the states there is very little that shows up for the mono's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tank underneath was pristine with no fading however the cover was a write off as it had gone brittle and the stitching gave way. Probably why you never see them nowadays.

dougalthedog Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 You can buy new tank covers from Steve Goode - plain white but a good way to smarten up a bike with a scruffy tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
