Re: 1960's Trials Sidecar Wanted

Hi Johnny, Thanks for letting me know, and thanks very much for looking. I am not in any great hurry and I am sure something will turn up. If not I will just have to stop being lazy and make one, like they used to do. There are plenty of photographs and I have got several old magazine articles givin...

Hi Mike,
I am sorry to hear about your recent problems, my Wife too has slipped a disc so I am aware how painful it is.

Many thanks,
John

Re: Alloy Barrels

Thanks for the help. I am no expert on the different versions, but had planned to make them as close to the long stroke HS version as possible.

I only really want one for my bike, an original would be ideal.

Re: Alloy Barrels

Thanks for that. I have been in touch with John Budgen, who has promised to let me know when he has any available. I understand that the gentleman who was making them unfortunately passed away last year.

Re: Sidecar fitting?

Hi Mike,
If you still have the fitting I would appreciate it.
I am a new member and not sure where we go from here. I am building up a trials outfit from a very sad 1955 VH.
Many thanks,
John
