4 stroke honda Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yeah, I could of bought a nearly new trials bike for what this is costing me. But this once done shouldn't lose much, if any money. Which is my main reason. Plus I'v always loved the look of 80's Honda trial bikes. Just paid for this. you will have to let my know what you think of them as can not decide what do do myself, chop the frame or get a set to fit to mine but they are not cheap and it would be a lot less just to chop the frame as mine will get stripped down come the Ausie summer to be powder coated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tltel Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Stunning Bike Joe, can't wait to see it finished. Andy m is there a common problem with the TLR cam chain adjuster, It does seem a bit vague compared to the one on the TL. I took mine out for a blast about three weeks ago, first time for about 18 months (yes it did have oil in it ) and now it does sound a bit noisy around the cam chain side. releasing the lock nut didn't make any difference. It had a new cam chain 2 years ago and hasn't been used much since then so will try it manually. Here's a pic, I have re-covered the seat since this was taken.

joelewis Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks mate, I'm hoping for end of August. I'll let you know what I think of the yokes, I didn't want to chop the frame so went down this route instead. Plan is to get them anodised Gold as soon as I get them.

joelewis Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Just gone for Dep exhaust, whats peoples thoughts? The Sammy Miller welds seemed awful quality and the two Wes ones iv seen I haven't been that impressed with either. Plus I prefer the Dep one on looks.

Fitted a Wes to my 250 and been happy with it in looks and build On the yokes could you measure the distance between the front and rear axles with the standard yoke fitted and then with the new ones fitted Thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelewis Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Will do Mike, might take slightly longer as there going to get anodised straight away. When did you get your Wes one? As according to the guy I spoke to on the phone, the earlier ones were far better - its just the latest ones where the quality seems to of slipped.

joelewis Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Inch an and a half mate. Back and down. I did the same on a mates TLR 250 and it improved it massively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As according to the guy I spoke to on the phone, the earlier ones were far better - its just the latest ones where the quality seems to of slipped. Got it from Sammy Millers about 4 months ago but they might have had it for sometime before that You might want to think about chain adjustment when measuring Never thought off that, told if you alter the front you need to lengthen the swing arm on the 250's or the front becomes to light so just wanted a idea as to how much the yokes altered the wheel base so if it was done with the rear wheel already fitted then you would get the difference between the standard yokes and the modded ones Fitted footrest lowering kit to mine as a stop gap till i strip the bike down and with the wider pegs and lower it rides and handles a lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that's quite a bit...there's me thinking an inch would be too much, thanks Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelewis Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Came in the post today, Unsure if I should anodise them as I've been told it might come out patchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelewis Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 The new ones are slightly different, if you look at my first set of photo's and these. The pinch bolts on mine are at the side compared to the front on the older sets, plus other slight differences. Look alot better. Get them, look great!
