My RM80B barn-find roach rescue.

[John Orchard]

Ended up getting a muffler from the US, the front guard is a replica US YZ80E, made a front plate (including mounts) from the yellow tub  :-)



Period aftermarket items are-

Koni shocks.
DG air fork caps.
plastic levers.

Not quite so 'period'-

'79 DS80 barrel.
'81 RM80 cyl head.
'84 RM80 flatslide carb.

That looks bloody brilliant John.  Amazing what you can do with a yellow bucket. Where in the hell did you get a muffler?  They are like rockingham horse shit.  You have a great base bike there.  How does it sound.  The sound of the B is like a tin of bees.  Anyway, well done and a massive improvement over that blue bird shit bike you started with.  Are you going to keep it like it is, or slowly change parts out for originals... its a bug that bites...

An American guy on one of the pages on Facebook advertised some junk he had, old YZ80 & RM80 frame, wheels and exhausts, I could just see the B muffler in the background of the pic, I told him I'd pay twice what he first quoted for the muffler, just so I'd get it.  Cost me $135 US delivered; it's like new so I was happy.
