Looks like a rite royal oil drain pan.
I think the SL's had the same config of holes on the sides of the bracket instead of the top.

Hi Everyone,

David, Have not decided about when to go to Denman this year, was planning to do the 2 day, but the Twinshock Masters is very enticing, shame they are not one and the same! The headlight mount does not fit my KT tripple clamps and as Eric has stated, light and speedo were one unit cut in two.

Cota, have added a side view of taillight for your perusal, still not sure what it is off?

Bogwheel, the tail light only has holes in the top, you have now added another use for the tray!

Eric, love the mirror effect, kind of adds value don't you think?

bigdog, definitely no gold in the bits that I sent, but hopefully usefull!

Greg, just to make it easy for you to decide:
The property for the two day has fantastic scenery and terrain with lots of large sandstone boulders and is very well run and is always very cold or wet or both
The property for the titles has fantastic scenery and terrain with lots of large sandstone boulders and will probably be very well run and is just as likely to be very cold or wet or both
relax, nothing is under control

Decided to try out what you have suggested, hope I don't upset any Royal Watchers?

The carby is off a XL 250 motorsport that I bought the other day, what a surprise when I removed the bowl, looks like they were trying to run it on crude! Left the tray to drain overnight and it set like varnish, had to use carby cleaner to dissolve it as petrol didn't work.

David, I am still undecided about when to go to Denman.

Hi Greg I love the description part on eBay. To maximise your chance of people finding your listing with their search filter, take out all the punctuation from the listing title and add a couple of extra tag words - suggest you use something like this as the title:
TY175 TY 175 Yamaha Vintage Classic VMX AHRMA Twinshock Trial Trials Dirt Trail bike 1976
relax, nothing is under control

Wow Greg, I'm not surprised the TY's a bit rattly, after you've managed to ring 175 Bhp out of it......! =D>
Well, according to the Ebay specs on your listing anyway!

Item specifics - Motorcycles
Power: 175 Bhp

Maybe you could confirm, is that output power........ or power consumption.....?? :wink:


Good luck with your sale.

Cheers Don
