TM125 steering head bolt
« on: January 14, 2008, 11:35:36 pm »
I'm looking for 2 steering head bolts for a TM125/250/400 or RL250. It's the aluminium bolt that screws into the steering stem. 1 would get me out of trouble as I can share it between bikes if need be. Thanks

Cyclegod you're a champion! It's for the bike below. I got the tank and TS kit pipe yesterday and both are very useful thanks. The pipe is already on the TS. In the process of constucting an airbox as I really don't go for (exposed) pods..trying to keep it as much a TS as possible excepting the top end, gearbox internals and ignition. That's all TM. I have to split the bugger to fix the kickstart shaft and swap clusters but that isn't a biggy..just a matter of finding time as usual ::)



PS..yes the bars are bent but I want some chrome replacements and they are not so easy or cheap to find..a sign of the times when chome steel bars are worth more to buy than swish alloy renthal type  ::)

this is my next bike..a 75 TM250 that will run RM/PE suspension and TS/TM combination engine to run pre 78. The frames been heavily modded already at the upper rear mounts so I don't feel bad about using a mixed bag to build it.  ;)

Thanks a lot Bill, I personally like the looks of the TS125 over the TM's but only the '71 R model. It should go just as hard as a TM but I'm still a little wary of using the 19" front. Is there any reasoning behind the 21 inch front wheels?? I've a 21" I can fit but I'll give both a go and see what the difference is. Just need to get a piston kit and rebore, tidy up a couple of little items and she'll be as good as it gets..it comes in well under my $500 cap too  ;D

Cyclegod, that filter would be the ducks nuts but as always it depends on the price  :-\ how much would it cost for you to part with it?

SOLD!! that'll save me more than 2 hours work if I figure on charging myself $20 an hour. Doc logic 8) Thanks Again CG..you've probably saved the world from the butt ugliest airfilter box ever created! :D

Bill, here's another pic or 2. There's still quite a bit I can do (without spending much) but essentially I can now class it as a complete bike again less the chain and steering head bolt that's in the mail  ;D I don't like the sidecovers but until TM covers come along they'll do the job  ;)
