Recommended Posts

Hi Guys 

 

I am building c15 trials bike ( non competition ) . I have c15 distributor type engine still missing few bits  ( kickstart other small bits ). most of friend says your c15 big end will gone soon.

 

from last few days ,, i am thinking of getting Bsa b25 or enfield 350 engine , what you guys think is it doable ? or should i focus on fixing the c15 engine i have ,

 

trials bike surgeons/implants specialists , please advise. 

 

Regards

Another reason to look for different engine. i think i was out of track after seeing feather weight frames & ultra tuned engines.electric ignitions  ,

all the bits i have seems out dated. ( big old tanks/distributor type engine. no electric ignition. heavy duty frame no roller coaster bearings )  

with no big money backing  :). and family responsibilities . i will try to build with what ever i have   :chairfall: . & do things 1970-80 style

My suggestion would be to buy a copy of the Rupert Ratio book,I've recently bought a copy as I've got a C15 nearly ready to ride.Its a mine of info,what will fit with what,whats good or not.If you are doing it yourself it would have to be a good buy.

It would be a lot cheaper to stick with the c15 motor, building bitsa's has a tendency to spiral in costs

 

I’ve never had any real problems with the standard c15 motor, found the to be fairly strong and reliable even with standard ignitions :thumbup:
