RM125A Motor! and rm125S front end

[brad747]

Hi,
I just got my tm125 so i to make it into a ra I need some other goodies!
Is there any one out there with a complete rm125a motor sitting in there shed?
Or a rm125M/S Front end?
A rm125a rear hub!

Thanx Brad

Brad, the reed valved motor and S forks will put the bike firmly into pre '78. Did the early RA (pre74/75) have the case reed??  looking at that earlier pic that was posted the front forks appear very similar the '71 TS items albeit the RA appears to have alloy lowers not steel. Remember the TS was released 2 full years before the TM and I believe TM was/is based on this model with the factory goodies (and or obviously the early RA that I never knew existed) The rear hub shouldn't be a biggy..31 models share this same item..see list below What year model RA are you looking to replicate?

Hey, I Was just after a RA125 to look like decosters rn73 bike found on mxworksbike.com
Whitch has a rm motor by the looks but i can not see a reed valve system on it!

And the foorks on it look like they have a 8 inches of travel!

Here are some photos i would like it to look like!
So if any one has any ideas let me know!

okay Brad..that really does look sweet!

..the RN73 was a 370 and not a reed motor

I reckon a 'closer to the '73 RA125 spec motor' would be the '75 M or S

The S was basically a factory kitted M.

Not arguing anything and on looks alone then yes, I agree, the RM125A looks more like the RN73 than an S or M motor but then so does the B and the bigger finned C motor and these may be easier to find grind off the numbers and not many could tell the difference between the A B and C.
