need some help but it's not twinshock, it's relatively modern....

[David Lahey]

Your brother wouldn't be the only bike looper around. I'm a bit like you in that regard too. I have a fibreglass replica rear for my KT but am not game to fit it so I just use the original (a bit daggy) plastic Kawasaki one. I haven't looped that bike yet, but I just know if I fitted the fibreglass one, I would.

BTW we have made a nice DVD of the Brooweena ride (featuring two RL250s and lots of irrelevant twinshock bikes) and will soon be selling them (for not much$$) to help fund next years event.

One of the RL riders is just as crazy about Suzukis as are you Doc and he (Warren Stackman - good name hey?) has picked up trials riding very well over the last year or so (previously only fast stuff). Bike photos in the trials website gallery.

The RL fibreglass bloke is a young bloke (pipoca is his psuedonym) from Newcastle and he is making RL fuel tanks too.

$400 running and rideable as pictured

Hey Doc...If you know of any other RL's for that kind of money I've got a mate with a Beamish frame who could do with some running gear. He had plans of fitting a TY engine but never got around to it.

I'll have to get myself a copy of the DVD Feetup, I need to see how real trials riders do things as I find even a flat grass paddock proves to be a difficult section the tanks sound interesting, I've 1x steel and 1x alloy and I'd love to get the dings removed but that's just begging for trouble similar to what you mentioned

Firko, that bike was on ebay about ummm..hmmm..quite a while back I was thinking of bidding and the Ray jumped in with an offer and got it for $400. When I slipped down the coast to collect it I was spewin'! It made it's way to CQ only to come back here to live about a year later as part of a deal. I would have paid double initially if I'd had acted..like always I didn't and it got away..well..not really but it did have me worried for a while!

Doc,

      Re the Gas Gas. I had one very similar only it was a 200..(175cc) They break frames roughly where it says Gas Gas beside the tank. In order to repair you have to remove the sticker and re-apply new ones.

Clutches are really rattlie, similar to the sound a modern Ducati dry clutch makes. They need to have the hydraulic clutch cable set up changed to mineral (or could be the other way) so they work. Parts are cheap and easy to get. The thing will make an average rider look good which is always a plus.
