Observed Trials Tech

So what's this all about? It's about trials and making your trials bike perfom better. This blog is to share ideas and expose trials riders to technical improvements for both modern, vintage and twinshock machinery.

Removing the Evidence



We've spent the past few days removing the evidence of the last ITSA (International Twin Shock Association) trials from this past Sunday out at the ranch at B&J.

Preparations for the AHRMA/STRA/ITSA two-day national to be held October 8th and 9th are underway now. Click HERE for more info......

This week-end we're gonna' change gears to the tune of the AMA Super-Motard National at the Music City Motorplex

Future Victim



One of our fall and winter projects (and hopefully we won't still be working on it by spring!) is going to be a trick little Honda Reflex conversion. By conversion we mean from the trail bike that Honda sent us back to, with much improvement, an RTL200, a competitive twin-shock machine.

We are working on the tank-seat units now and should have our final proto-type complete in a couple weeks. Pictured above is the very first proto-type tank-seat unit. We already have a nice aluminum exhaust system, you can just see a corner of it in the photo.

We have plans for some engine and carb modifications. Of course Falcon shocks and upgraded front suspension will be in the cards.

We're still playing with lots of ideas and combinations, no telling what it'll look like when it gets done!

This is our fairly sane project, wait until you see our really wild one...........

Triumph Tiger Cub



Today's victim is this Triumph Tiger Cub rigid frame trials bike. We completed this bike a few weeks ago. It is complete with an electronic ignition, Renthal bars, Amal and Domino controls and a Keihin carburetor. It has custom-built alloy wheels with stainless steel spokes, IRC radial trials tires with custom footpeg mounts, right-side rear brakes and alloy fenders. This list is by no means inclusive as there are too many other details to list without boring you to tears. (You want a list? Contact us!)

We delivered it to the customer at the Wyoming AHRMA two-day national where it finished first place both days in its class. We then went to Milliken, Colorado for the next AHRMA national, where it again won its class.

The proud new papa was, needless to say, quite pleased with his new mount.
