Description
This is my unique Ariel Leader Trials motorcycle which I have built and developed over the last few years. My ambition was to create and ride a competitive genuine pre 65 trials bike retaining the core Ariel components.
The original box steel frame was reduced in width and reconfigured for tele front forks. Original Leader parts used also include the base engine and gearbox, alloy hubs with late type brake plates, lengthened and widened swinging arm.
Wheels built with stainless spokes and IRC tube type tyres.
Electrex World electronic ignition
Fuel tank is 4 litre aluminium with internal baffle
Aluminium Barrels are bespoke Fahron Engineering
Special stainless two into one front exhaust with aluminium box and muffler
Del Orto 26mm carburettor and foam air filter
Special low second gear pairing and sleeve gear pair to lower the overall gearing
Yamaha Scorpa clutch
Betor 35mm front forks and OZO Expert rear shocks
Aluminium/ Dural rubber mounted bash plate
Fibreglass tank-seat cover (mould for laying up replacement cover part of sale)
Renthal bars and plastic mudguards
Montesa chain tubes
Road registered with age related number. This bike has been the most fun I have had in over 50 years of trials riding! Classic trials supporters in the South West and a lot South tell me they love the exhaust note. It steers and handles beautifully and also grips surprisingly well.
