I'm an owner of a Honda TL125 vintage trials bike, bought with the intention of riding it on the AHRMA and STRA modern classics -class. I've had my share of difficulties when trying to find information, spares, upgrade parts and accessories for the bike. To help others, and hopefully learn more from them, I have set up the following pages. I hope you find them useful.

Miscellaneous TL stuff:

  1. Mark Worsfold sent me the following info on his projects. Please contact Mark directly if you are interested:
    "I need an Alloy Fuel Tank for my TL project, but the only way to make these affordable is to commission a batch of 5 units. These will accept the 'S' type tap and either the standard cap or a 'Monza' style flip-up cap. I'm looking for orders for the remaining 4 units to underwrite the project. Delivery is 8 weeks from date of order and the price will be £200 GB pounds + S&H or £220 with the 'Monza' cap."
    "I have also contacted a foundry nearby who are prepared to copy the nearly-unobtainable Countershaft Sprocket Cover. These will be sandcast by hand on a 'one-off' basis, and partially finished. The mounting holes will be jig-drilled, but otherwise 'as cast' to be finished yourself to the standard of your bike. Price will be £40 GB Pounds + S&H"
    "Mark Worsfold, Lewes, East Sussex, England worsfold@globalnet.co.uk"
And I'm personally looking for the following (elusive) used pieces:
  1. Aftermarket frame kits, such as Sammy Miller, TMI , Frazier etc.
