cleanasawhistle Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) Might be a few fire damaged ones down in Hemel Edited January 11, 2006 by Cleanasawhistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helmet Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 TY175 tank should fit frames for the piston ported bikes(mk1/2),but you will need to play with the size of the rubber frame mounts by the headstock from memory they need to be thinner to fit the grooves on the tank...cable tie the seat end with some foam if you can't find a better method cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinm Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Ben Have you tried talking to Roger Painter (secretary of the Wilts & Dorset Trials Club)....I dont have his number to hand but they usually have a trial listed in the back of T&MX News. Roger has ridden Beamishes for years and often does shows and autojumbles selling Beamish bits, if anyone has a tank....he will.
