Sammy Miller Footrests & Chain tensioner.
D7 engine with d10 175cc barrell (different ports) crank stuffers disk type to up the crank case compression, easy to make & fit if you have the motor in bits.
Open up and polish all barrel ports, make sure not to go to much because of piston ring damage.
Skim the head to up the compression ratio (not too much for trials use).
Amal Concentric carb & longer induction neck.
Hi-line exhaust.
Change sprockets for low gears, 12 tooth final drive sprocket and a 66 tooth rear sprocket.
For motorX they used to remove the flywheel & use a battery, up the compression ratio (Todd head), Todd horse shoe crank stuffers, disc crank stuffers, piston stuffer, and the list goes on! Todd was the Bantam tuning guru.
ps I am looking for a cheap Bantam for a Classic Trials project, the last one was 35 years ago. Regards Will
Classic Trials competition the Cust Reunion Trial Canterbury held on April 6th 2008.
About 30 riders and a good crowd of spectators enjoyed the fine weather, tight sections, and of course the river section! It's always great to see a wide selection of bikes especially the pre 65s.
Capped off with a BBQ and a beer what a great day every one had.
This web-site is dedicated to the older (classic) Trials, MotoX, and Road Racing motorbikes up until around the early 1980s and to the group of men that build, restore, ride them, and of course fall off them.

CustGP is for you, it will change, so if you're into classic motorbikes help me make it better. The aim of the site is to provide information from various sources for us all in the South Island.
I live in North Canterbury, so can cover things my end,but could need help. I need like minded people to help me either on a regular basis or one offs.
Don't leave it for someone else to do, I need YOU!
