betaboy100 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Okay guys, so linked to this post is three pictures of my Beta Evo 2011. Two of them are the overall bike and one of the engine area. Because i am not able to afford a new bike, I was wandering if any of you guys know anything i can do to this bike to make it look that little bit nicer or even make it run smoother. Not got loads of cash to spend, probably a maximum of around £300 for one item. A new sticker kit has been ordered so that suggestion is already out the window ha ha but any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theomo Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Looks clean! Just get out and ride it, there are quite a few of us who ride in Wigan. We're out every wednesday night and most sundays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-shock 250 Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Don't waste money on stickers & tat, put it towards a new bike if that's what you really want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betaboy100 Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 In all honesty i don't think i wana a newer bike, i love how this rides would just like to add a few 'trick bits' to it so it stands out from the standard beta evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludescotty Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 I bought a couple of carbon look bits - frame protectors, cdi protector, manifold cover etc all fairly cheap and look smart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken_hosking Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 A pair of S3 Hardrock wide footrests not only improves the appearance, but provide a very good platform that feels much better on the feet than the standard Beta footrests.

p@ul250 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) How about a nice Red OMF sump guard from Trials UK! My boy has one on his 125 and he is always being asked about it. Or if you really want to stand out from the crowd one of these will do it Edited September 5, 2013 by p@ul250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betaboy100 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Wow, no way haha! The red omf sump guard looks very nice, going to note a few things down and have a look at the prices and stuff a little later. I think that i will definitely get some carbon protectors for all the necessary places like swinging arm and the forks etc. The anodized levers and lever adjusters look very tempting as they aren't too expensive! Which is always good! Looking at a new pair of footrests as i have bent one of mine already:P I was looking at the raptors, what is you lots opinion of them? As anyone of you had them? What did you think of them, are they worth the price? All them kinda questions would be quite to know and if the raptors are know good, should i get a red pair of s3 hardrocks?? Thanks for the replies guys:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p@ul250 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) The Carbon look guards from Trick Bit.s are a good investment as they protect your bike! Just remember to remove and clean behind them ever third or fourth time you clean the bike and after any very muddy ride! I have found that the "trick" alloy lever adjusters are damaged much more easily than the stock ones and as for the Top Trial Team "flexie" rear mudguard, Give it a miss! took my lad under two hour's to shatter one! He now has one I made! Edited September 5, 2013 by p@ul250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludescotty Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 i personally wouldnt go for the annodised sump guard. my mate bought one for his 300, they fit too easily. i know that sounds daft but i presume they are supposed to be an integral part of the frame, the existing ones are a nightmare to get on as they pull everything in together. the red ones dont, even the rubber between the guard and the engine was slightly loose. probably ok especially if the bike never sees a rock, but i wouldnt put one on my bike.
