CLASSIC TWO STROKE
It occured to me that I have probably been working on Japanese two stroke engines longer than anyone else in the trade.
When I left college and started work in a motorcyle workshop it was the early 1960's and the Japanese motorcycle invasion had just started. Later I was workshop foreman at Monty & Wards race shop when the early Yamaha racers arrived. When the first Suzuki 250 twins came we tuned them and modified them into race bikes and launched the Monty & Ward Suzuki Clubman. At the same time I was mechanicing at the T.T. and the transatlantic match races.
I started my own motorcycle business in the early 1970s and made our reputation tuning two-strokes and building two-stroke engines, a business I have continued to the present day!
Nowadays a lot of our business is rebuilding classic Japanese Two-Stroke engines.

Engine Rebuilds
We specialise in engine rebuilds and have unsurpassed experience of all Japanese two-stroke engines. All parts are accurately measured, checked and meticulously assembled as you would expect from a race workshop. Below are the prices of Labour Plus Parts to carry out an engine rebuild.
