I heard from Pokey late last year but that's it..said he'd been very busy with work and he hadn't done much with the TS. Strange he should vanish totally. I suspect a female in involved :P  ;D



of course, I maybe way off track  :D

Freaky I thought a reply from China was imminent also  ??? ??? they are probably still laughing at my piss poor requisition  :D no reply means "so solly no make cover for vintage lacers petty needs"  ::)

well CG, it seems I am totally out of touch with the 'real' world..that used ebay TM mag cover went for $218US + shipping  :D

as stated, crazy when one can buy a new cover for less delivered to my door. If people are too lazy to look or have money to burn then that used cover is right up their alley. Seek and ye shall find. Incidently, I scored a good RM125S motor in exchange for some TM400 bits yesterday. Not only is the motor extremely low hour and never had a spanner or screwdriver on it but it came with a '100% intact' mag cover ;D

Thats a good score on the motor, I had something similar with a TM100 bottom end, Funny about the mag cover for $218 as the webco head he was selling went for $232  :o

After a little checking I see that the same guy has spent nearly $700 US on the sellers TM parts, he also bought a GEM reed valve kit and cylinder modified to fit it

yeah I'd also noticed his other purchases cyclegod..sometimes check to get an indication of how much the bidders pay for bits previously and this can be quite astounding to say the least..sometimes a little amusing and proves I don't have a thing to worry about with my vmx fetish ;)

Fit a TM barrel, head, carb, pipe, ignition, internal ratios, a 64t dinnerplate sized rear sprocket and she'll honk.. ;D least that's what I'm hoping  :P
