Title: Completed TM Project
Post by: Nobby25 on February 28, 2011, 10:56:24 pm

Heres some pics of before and after of the TM, as I wrote in my intro it was saved from a farm shed 15 years ago and started the resto 2 years ago. It was surprisingly in good nick! was on 1st OS, reused the original wheel bearings,swing arm bushes, brake shoes and the front tyre looks like it could be original.Thanks to Vintage Suzuki, Ron Anchak and Ebay especially when I got that muffler :D
Will post some pics of the RM125S and RM250N that I am starting on next. I have a feeling they might be a little more challenging.

Congratulations on a sweet little bike. The big thing now will be sucking up the nerve to get it dirty. :-\

Thanks for the kind replies.I couldn't resist mixing up some R30 and taking it down the road a few times, just to check all the gears of course. I had a smile bigger than a IT425 muffler.
Cheers Nob

Absolutely gorgeous.
 Back in the day, I located the top shock mount down the frame tube a bit for some of that new fangled long travel jazz. Luckily for me I sold it to a guy with an old ford prefect with a v8 under the bonnet not long after.
Cheers kitakitsune.

Awesome job Michael, by the way I have an IT425 muffler! I guess I should be ashamed to say that.
