Parts for sale

Hello fellow members, can somebody explain to me how I can view the parts arena available to members. I am a new member so I'm not sure how to get on to this section. There are several clutch parts I need for my Huntmaster. Cheers. Neil :?

Re: Is it original ?

Thank you all who replied, your comments are helpful. I have to agree with rob Jameson's suggestion that at some time a previous owner has tried to make it look like a Cyclone.

Is it original ?

Hi all, I have bought a 1954 Huntmaster. I'm a bit puzzled because it has alloy mudguards fitted and full width hubs. The mudguards do seem to be original going by the brackets that hold them.

I'm not picking up the bike till Thursday so I may well get used to it. I'm not the tallest of blokes which is why I enquired. I am looking f...

Lowering a Huntmaster

Hi fellow members. I am new to the club and Ariel ownership. I have a 1954 Huntmaster. Does anyone know if these machines can be lowered. I am used to a Harley Sportster so lowering that was no problem. I need to know what shockers and fork leg springs to use. neil.grant
