Is that a Bassani Pipe ? 

[dodgee]

[Doc]

yeah Bill it's a supa nice pipe!..it could be a Bill's pipe!   an' you can flick the rest of what you don't want onto me..it's the chrome bore model but I don't mind and I won't charge you..really 

[TT5 Matt]

hi Doc
do the ts185a have a chrome bore to?

TT5 Matt

[Doc]

no Matt..only the 250. Oversizes available for the '76 TS185 

[TT5 Matt]

that explains why the ts250a i was given has a earlier non painted barrel on it with a screw type exhaust clamp

TT5 Matt

[pokey]

a screw on exhaust? Must have been a 69 model barrell

[TM BILL]

hi Doc
do the ts185a have a chrome bore to?

TT5 Matt

[TM BILL]

OK ill do the bidding but we gotta sort the logistics  how do we get it from SA to CD5 To Docs

[Doc]

seen a couple of those covers sell in the past few months CG..not quite as sought after as the 125 item but still handy to have if you want to play with TM250L and M's obviously 
Bill, I was just kidding but, if you are seriously thinking of bidding and there are bits you don't want then for sure..will happily accept any unwanted pre '78 suzuki bits especially the poor ol' TS.
Matt, the early model 69/70 TS250 barrels are the go as this model ran the TM type rubber spigot carb mount ing and not the bolt on flange type used there after. Speaking of 69/70 TS250's, I saw a pic of a beaut '69 TS250 the other day and it has given me waaay too much food for thought. Scott Andersen in the US just recently completed this bike. They say the best form of flattery is imitation..I now want to build one of my own

[cyclegod]

That sure is a nice bike, if you can you should contact the builder and ask what parts he used and from which models and list it here.

[pokey]

Doc, Would that TS pic be a Green one?  if so itsa bloody nice  example

[Doc]

Pokey..ummm..a green one..hmmm.. ..noooo..this was a red one! bling bling!..here's the before pic

Mick, the owner (Scott)will quite freely give details and has done so on the Yahoo TM Suzuki forum. That's where I lifted the pics from  

Here's mine as it sits now. The bottom pic is a bike owned by OZ vmx'er Neville Shepherd.

 



'72-'76 models are fine but the early '69/'70 model get my vote. Incidently I have just dragged out the 73 roller today in the hope of making a start on the the project. I banged my head on the bars splitting my brow and near on knocking me out I proceeded to bleed like a stuck pig and this was very unpleasant so the project came to a halt whilst I issued some emergancy patching repairs to myself but I'll be back!! Tonight!! The pic of the red TS above almost looks like Australia but it's US
