Looks great don't stop. I could pass a comment regarding the large hammer & it being a Suzuki, but I'll refrain.

Thanks for the encouragment  :) my VMX s a reflecton of my everyday life dissorganised but a lot of fun  ;D

Firko i wll try to actually finish this one , Vaughn its bloody heavy enough as a solo , thanks Jerry yes its a fully rebuilt  RM 370 motor into Nos cases .

If i give up on it Jerry  wll cut you a sharp deal  :) Smed thanks , the hard work ie frame mods were done by a mate same bloke who made the air box .

Rookie its typical of me start somthing and lose interest  ::) also it is a heavy beast so im wondering if its all a bit silly .

Mick Pre 78 yes but here in ole NZ i can probably sneek it into our classic class as ts only the motor and rear hub thats post 1974.

Thanks Alec , astheticly it has potentiol, was going for a RH /RN look but a heavy version  :D

Oldstuff after  took the pics i realised i should have taken the mallet off the bench  :-[

Alec brake pedal is an RH /RN copy ( ignore the big bolt will get the correct pin made ) it was made by a another mate  :)

So its a TM 400L frame modified to take an RM 250/370 A or B motor, need to fnd a full fin head for motor ( not sure yet if it will be 250 or 370 ) as t will run a down pipe . YZ or MX 250 / 360 forks ( look simillar to RH / RN lowers ) rebuilt Fox conventional shocks , RM 250A mag rear hub and 1974 KX250 front hub. TM 125 tank and seat and jobs a gooden  ;D

Want to look at a TM / TS 250 frame as the 400 frame is very heavy .

I know its a bike that wont qualify for your pre 75 and would be a very ordinary pre 78 ( even if its elidgible for pre 78  :-\ )

But over here thats irrelevant as i will probably ride it a modern club days , but first i got to finish it  ;D
