I think it belongs to a Suzuki collector in Victoria. The Aussie RNs and RHs  never went back to Japan and were owned by the state distributors.

You need to get the fitting that the surgical needle goes into to regas your shock, then you can inflate it with a normal tyre pump fitting using either nitrogen or air

Almost all 125's stock are 123cc so Kevin you are saying that they have to be bored out a little to race post classic?

5% of 125cc is 6.25cc

I didn't say anything about how big they could be. Your interpretation of the rules as you said above for post classic is that a 125 has to be 125cc so anything either side of that is not eligable by your definition.

You blokes must have some work to do in the shed... how's your RM370 going Kev?

Yeah Hoony I think it is a 90 model, everything on it is hand made and billet, alloy tank etc.. a full works bike. There was a crate full of spares with different pipes, cylinders, various weight cranks etc for different tracks. I raced against it at the 92 Toowoomba King of the Mountain dirt track when I teamed with Dave Armstrong. Darryl Beattie and Anthony Gobert teamed up on that RC and had the race lead when Beattie crashed out

I rode one the same a few years back, an ex Leisk/Jobe  RC500 that Mick Doohan has and couldn't believe how fast it was and how it pulled hard and strong all thru the revs and just kept pulling.

That Husky is definitely Matts original race bike that he won the 1967 250 Aussie title on. A friend of mine took that pic
