Just needs a seat cover and brake lever modification.... 71 lever has smaller pivot than 72 onward, airbox is RH250 with RM85 air filter assembly , CDI and oil bottle inside as kept auto lube.
interesting the differences between 71 and later TM400s

Yeah sure they are mate ;)

The old Cyclone's looking pretty nice Marc. What ignition are you running in it? I'm running the stock TM CDI with 1kg Skunk Works flywheel weights but I'm toying with using DT400 Yamaha CD1, seeing that it works so well on the RT1. I bought a pair of those Oriental Ohlins that are going onto my flat tracker.
I've sent you a PM too..........
-
Looks good Marc-Mike has done a good job on it ;D
Does this mean that we might see you out on the track soon?
You missed an awesome day at Halcombe yesterday,great open grassy track,that widow maker (TM400) would have loved being tapped out on its long straights.

Yes Mike did indeed do a splendid job painting as usual, never said it was a solo effort mate. I did a splendid job finding, assembling it and paying for it. ;)
Have been warming up the CR250RB a bit mate, we are in the same class, so I am having 3,4,5 gears removed from the box to save weight, as I heard you never get out of 2nd ;D

Are you going to CSS on the 18th Marc ? bring that Cheney out for a skid , im hoping to bring my Metisse out for a run :)
-
You can both park on the same hill next to each other Bill. ;D...pig rooters. :o
-
Sensational Mark. Great job. Just the inspiration a fella like me needs, to complete an unfinished TM 400 project .
-
Hey Marc
Pleased to hear you are removing some weight off the bike.Given your new found love of Kiwi fast food,I heard that you are pushing 20 stone.That poor old Honda will be lucky to get off the line ;D
The next race is in Taupo December 2nd it would be great to see you there mate.........

True,but imagine the grief it would cause you trying to eat those Pukekohe donuts,that I hear you enjoy every day. :D
-
Speaking of Pukekohe Ive noticed this old RM lying round for months. Its a bit of a pile but gotta love the customised plate.
(http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg71/marcFX_photo/craigee.jpg)
-
That RM 125 is such a thing of beauty,sure beats that old crappy Red TM 400.I know a good scrap dealer if you need assistance getting rid of that Widowmaker....
PS I heard that Pukekohe pies are enjoying a threefold increase in EBIT since your arrival back from Japan....
-
Is that the 125D, 59? Looking pretty. Has that bell crank been blasted and are they adjustible struts I see? Rear spring off a honda civic!!
-
Hi 27,yes adjustable struts and standard shock with a white power spring its getting there slowly.
-

Well spotted rear spring is actually off a Honda Civic, most 125 riders are not packing quite the same bulk ;) the delay now is to find forks with matching spring ratio, I guess conversion to McPherson struts is one option.
-
Speaking of barge anchors.I just discovered these two old shitters in a shed in Pukekohe.
I was able to purchase them for the price of a slab of beer and two pies,which I believe are really in demand at Marc Dot Coms house...

-
Yes some real good negroes are available in South Auckland Bazza.

Had planned to do a little man scaping this weekend ;)

I have,but poor old Marc dot com can only decipher large text words due to the onset of diabetic blindness caused by excessive pie and donut consumption ;D

Who us.... I started a thread expressing the pure joy I have in finishing my TM400 and being able to where my trick NOS HJC helmet with cowboys painted on the side. Yes everyone missed what has to be one of the coolest period helmets on the planet which came complete with Velcro attached goggles.

…and being able to where [sic] my trick NOS HJC helmet with cowboys painted on the side…
That is great so long as there is no mention of 'arse-less chapps' in the next post…
