cleanorbust Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 A combined trials/golf event sounds interesting, but round my way the members frown on using trials tyres on the greens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent j Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Love your work! From what I can see you've moved the back half of the frame forward and removed the backbone/down tube from behind the motor, added upper engine mounts to the rear frame, lowered the seat and lengthened the swingarm. You've also used the bash plate as a part of the frame. Similar wheelbase to standard but more weight over the front. I'm finishing my frame off at the moment. I've achieved a similar result but gone about it a slightly different way. I moved the swingarm pivot forward and down by 15mm each, moved the motor back by 20mm and made a "bent" section of frame to fit around the back of the motor, cut the frame and moved the front half of the frame back by 35mm. I reduced the overall length of the bike by 50mm and lengthened the swing arm by 45mm. I've not reduced the steering head angle or trail as I don't think the RL turning problems are due to steering head angle but to weight bias. The bike will be painted to look like an original and won't be a show bike, it will get ridden. I took inspiration frim a guy in NSW who has done much the same, I must acknowledge and thank Greg Harding for ideas and advice Here's a link to some photos on another site, they start with the frame repairs and go onto the mods over a few pages. https://trials.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4785&start=2250 Edited May 6, 2020 by brent j 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
