The lines really aren't wavy like they appear in the photo. Anyone have any idea why this happens?  I'm not a computer expert but I've found it's to do with the size of the photo you upload/link to. You don't need a full-on HD photo, just reduce them down in quality (pixels) to about a 100k-ish pic before you upload. Bike looks awesome btw, really nice work |

Finally got the bike finished - far too many distractions. Made a pointer so the ignition timing could be checked with a strobe..  Got the airbox and dirt shield painted and installed and managed to fit the Kevlar credo in..  Gave it a run up the street and it's certainly quick.   Can't wait for CD9 to see if it was worth the effort and the cost (final tally $1137)  Need to get started on the blender next.... |

Still amazed by how much skill you have put into that bike. I hope one day I can do something like that. Regarding the pictures have you deleted them from the site that you have them parked on  |

Picked up an old CT3 Yamaha from a mate for free. It had been sitiing outside long enough to rust the left hand handlebar off, but aside from seized brake cams it is in surprisingly good condition. This being the case, I've decided to try and turn it into an el-cheapo trials bike for classic dirt, with a budget of $600  I've cut and shut the frame everywhere and ended up with a bike that is very similar to a TY175, but with a bit more ground clearance, slightly longer wheelbase and a steeper head angle - traits that are all said to improve the TY.  Next is to narrow and lengthen the CT3 tank and make up the footpeg plates. Following some good advice from JC, I'm after a set of MX125 triple trees. They have more offset and will reduce the trail to somewhere near the optimum for a trials bike. |

Once again you're putting the rest of us to shame Pete, good work.

totally impressed yet again Pete. i've been riding a bit of trials this year on my TY175 and have seen quite a few "home specials" in the twin shock class, TS250, later DT175 converted to twinshock, a CT honda AG bike thing to name a few. the port specs on that thing of yours will be pretty close to TY specs as is. a 22mm carby would be nice but you do realise you'll need to make 3 pipes as the first 2 will be crap  great idea |
