Your little TS/TM 125 is like a little brother to my 250 version. I'm taking it to CD5 so you ought to bring yours along Doc.

Hey Doc, I just dropped it in at the Post office (before the 2.00PM deadline) so everything being equal it all should arrive by Friday at the latest. Just in time for the weekend  ;D ;D ;D

Oldfart...It's a '71 TM frame I found in a skip bin years ago. The engine is a '75 TS, side covers from an RMS, Front guard a cut down 'Tony D' Preston Petty opaque, rear a genuine RH opaque, TS rear wheel, TM front, TM forks, Pacifico plastic tank, Interam handlebars, Taiwanese Gunnar Gasser throttle, No Name grips, Curnutt shocks in the photo (now replaced by Works Performance) and a Circle F pipe that's not in the photo as it was enroute from the USA at the time. Everything on the bike was either rooted and restored, donated or swapped for.
If I added the Works Shocks and Circle F pipe to the original $100 cost, the bike now owes about $500 and is a reasonably competitive little bike. It'll be at CD5 as a klub Kevlar Kourtesy bike.

Firko..I was seriously thinking about taking the just TS125 to CD-5. It would be a little different having the 125S motor, a TM250 front end and the regulation Hi-Perf TS185 shocks but the rest, excepting the bent bars, will remain basically unchanged. I love the TM but the TS is more about me and my bottom of the the barrel cheapies  :P 

Thanks CG..I'll be bolting it straight up I assure you!  :)

What kind of shape are the TM barrels? (bore size, fins bent, exhaust threads stripped etc) and how much?

Cyclegod, I got the steering head bolt today thanks! you've been elevated in status from 'Champion' to 'Legend'

Holeshot Buddy, don't suppose you have any more early TS125 or TS100/90 rollers up there?  :)

I suppose its better than being upgraded from a 'Champion' to an 'NGK'  ;D ;D ;D

You will have noticed that I included the large washer as well...

PS I just won another used kit pipe.. ;D ;D

looks different to the first kit pipe Mick. Seems to kick up more like the TM pipe  :-\

I just found this nice little '72 TS125 on ebay item 290197861594 or
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Suzuki-TS125-Duster-Suzuki-TS-125-Duster-1972-NOS-72-TS125_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6027QQihZ019QQitemZ290197861594QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

For as nice a resto as it is, it doesn't look right..
probably because it isn't..
wrong front guard fitted and they never came with duel rate springs on the back..tsk tsk  :P

speaking anal..I don't suppose anyone would have one of the stickers suzuki stuck on the rear guards of some models. It was circular about 3 inch dia with a green winners leafy rond reaf thingy and clear background. Written within the sticker was Suzuki World 125cc MX Champion followed by the years. I'd love to get my hands on one but I've not seen another since about '77  :-\
