Post by: brad747 on October 12, 2012, 05:17:13 pm: hey just would like to know if anyone has a tm125 seat for sale? I had TOPLINE in frankston fit the seat foam and cover and he had to shave quite alot of the tm seat foam that i got from vintage suzuki in the US to make it fit properly!

I think the seat that come on the bike is not the correct one im thinking its for a rm125 m/s because the rear of the seat base has quite a big cut out for the rear wheel travel and there is a big gap between the back of the seat and the rear guard :(

Anyway Frame and parts are back from blasting and powder coaters and look awesome!

Post by: brad747 on December 03, 2012, 08:37:29 am: The back rim was polished up and the front is a new one because the old one had a big crack in it, but its hard to tell the old from the new unless you look close
