Check out one of the RM 80's lots of different size tubes.
 or just get a set rechromed

I believe RM80 N/T/X/Z/D/E/F had 30mm fork tubes. The length varies between these models but the N/T/X would be the shortest. Probably still an inch or so longer than TM125 but could be worth a look ;)

still looking for a set of forks....a seat foam or complete seat would come in handy as well

cheers

Seat foam is available from VMX unlimited. Fits well and is  hard enough to rafce on
I got my cover from I think VMR on ebay, again fits well and looks the part
Seat bases are becoming rare. I understand someone in NSW or Vic is making fibreglass ones but I don't know who

Do you have forks at all, or triple clamps?
TS125/185 and 100 after 74 use the same lower fork legs. inner tubes are different internally as the TS had adjustable preload but externally they look the same. Not sure about length tho
TM triples are alloy where TS are steel
Springs are different between TS and TM. I found TS springs to be way to stiff
The older I get, the faster I was

the ones i have are bent  and creased at trees... i know what you mean about the seat bases, rust is an issue with this one but is repairable
