Thank You David and Greg for your reply.
Intention is to rebuild it (including 150 kit) and for Peter to use in Twin Shock Trials next season.
See a number of these bikes also use forward axle fork tubes.
Is it worth also going down that path while we are at it?
Best Regards To All, Ron Spencer

I would stick with those forks, better turning, you can slide them up or down heaps, just play with preload spacers and different oil weights and anything else is going backwards :?

Hi Everyone,

Thankyou WDTC and everyone involved for putting on another excellent trial at GREEN PARK! Personally, I was very impressed with the new Rolling Display class, now that is a Gentlemans class!

Well done Goffy, just 1 point on very challenging sections in an impressive field on diversified bikes!

Congratulations Chippy for being the highest placed Owner/rider on your KT and for beating me in our KT Challenge. With just a couple of points in it decided in the last section of the day! For the record, I agree with the observers decision that you managed to get your front axle out of the gate before crossing the tape and flattening the section ends board, JUST.

Hi everyone,

Yes I concur with you Greg, once again WDTC put on another excellent event and thanks to all the men AND women that helped attain this. The sections were great, all those nice slippery rocks with water in between. I think that is the only way I can get ahead of you Greg!!!! I still seem to get the events that count hey!!!

I must also give a BIG thank you to Terry Telfer for the lend of his cdi unit for my KT and Greg for those little 'tweaks'. I must admit that the power the KT puts out is very similar to the Montesa 242 that I once had, strong and crisp. I really enjoyed riding it even though the forks are still too soft.

Yes I'm glad you were there to witness my last section ride for verification!!!! It really did come down to the 'wire' or is that 'tape'???

Chippy

I tried to get a decent photo of the green japanese bikes, but this bloke on the Fantic kept getting in the way

There were lots of Hondas and some were particularly cool-looking

Homa (Justin Gough) won Open Twinshock and Boyd Willcocks came second. Both were very entertaining

Hi Everyone,

David, do you think Don is hinting about an ITALIAN THEME?
