they come with a free bike!

That's actually a TF, but I don't know if the shocks are the same??

[DR]

  about $330 more than the shocks true value Paul jeez, you guys think I'm made of money or something! far too pricey for me the bike does also have the full compliment of PE style blinkers, that maybe worth the other $330 Forks and wheels are okay for pre'75 projects albeit steel rimmed but the rest I find almost offensive never been a big fan of the ER models (styled engines) except the 100's and pre'82 125 as the '77/78 RM100/125 top ends will interchange without too much bother

I'm sure Doc could find a good use for that enormous rack.

Actually I could find a good use for an enormous rack, but I digress...

[DR]

yes Tex it's true the rack and the tank would ideally be suited to my fugly as sin GTS185 Lumpy..I could then claim 100% Suzuki content

But Doc, Their more of a competition shock, the springs are painted black.

[holeshot buddy]

caldecott used to run them on the tm suzukis

i have a 82 ts185 with good shocks for $200

cheers rusty

[DR]

hmmm, I did hear that rumor concerning Andy Russ from photo's I once sussed it could well be true..black body/chrome springs..super trick shit alright!! personally, I prefer them as it drops the rear of the bike an inch or so which not only makes the TM handle better but it's even lower for short arses' like me I am running low on shocks but a quick reality check says I really don't need/want a TS185 unless it's an early one

[oldskool]

doc if your looking for ts stuff try micks moto at loganholme he had a runner although pretty rough $150 also beenleigh motorcycles have one they said it needed rings $1200 but found it needs a crank case seal so could be a bit cheaper now they are both 185.micks moto also had a dr250 dont know what year for $950.cheers gary

[DR]

Thanks oldschool but no, TS185's and DR's don't do a lot for me but I am hunting another project RM80 built anywhere between '83 to the mid 90's still kick myself I missed out on 2 at Newcastle recently..they went for about 150 each and would have been perfect! ya get that

[oldskool]

theres an 81 rm80 on ebay now buy now $600 goes has 125 carby and rear sprocket its been hotted up dont know if its any good to you its at gold coast.cheers gary

[DR]

I already have one of those thanks oldskool..it's an 82 Z not an '81 X  this is a bit of an old pic,
now has nice blue mini renthals with matching blue Scott grips, a gold anodized Supersprox rear sprocket, new front guard, new tyres, new blue seat cover and the wheels are the gold jobs from an '83 D model, much better



the following mini's have permanent residency here

'71 Deckson Demon
'73 TM/TS50K
'74 TM75L
'77 RM80B
'78 JR50C
'78 DS80C
'79 RM50N
'81 RM80X
'82 RM80Z
'82/'84 XR80/YZ80K
 
Now I'd like something watercooled up to a '95 model. but preferably from the '83 to '87 era, not too far gone and not overly expensive.
