What rear shocks did you go with Phil? What springs for what weight rider (bit personal)?
Did you use standard Honda brake shoes?

Re: Fettling a TLR 200

I bought them from my local Honda dealer who had to order them in which only took a couple of days.The needle includes the needle,clip,retainer and needle tube.Haven't worried about fitting until the throttle arrives and will get both benefits at once.The exhaust has had a little surgery at some ...

Re: Fettling a TLR 200

Had some spare time this afternoon so got stuck in to some new bar risers.The plan was to go straight up rather than up and towards the rider.Moving them forward a little is no problem with my height.
May have to spend some time linishing some rounded corners on them to make them look better and ...

Re: Fettling a TLR 200

My TLR 200 seems to have the wrong kickstarter fitted . Doesn't fit all the way on the spline and won't close to the detent without hitting the exhaust. Anyone lucky enough to have both (200 + 250)on their shed who could have a look at both models? Not the end of the world but details matter.Rattles ...

Re: Fettling a TLR 200

Who is best to deal with regarding spare parts from Honda? The locals are having trouble so if anyone has good reports from dealing with overseas suppliers some names would be appreciated.
I am chasing a front sprocket in either 9 or 10 teeth. Front brake cable and maybe some carburettor parts. If ...

Re: Fettling a TLR 200

Thanks guys that is a great start. I will chip away at a few pieces and see where I end up.
It is amazing how hard it is to "go slow" again with any accuracy.At this stage my plan is to have a ride each afternoon to regain some fitness and control and then have a beer.
Just went through your photo ...
