Scrivo, Don`t read this :'(

Just a bit of feedback on a bike i bought from John Orchard

Instead of delivering the bike in last ridden condition and putting all the spares in a box " Here you go fella, it should be all there style" John fitted all new plastics and any suspect / damaged parts before handover. Not only is it race ready ( as stated beforehand ) it is damn near a garage queen. All i`ve got to do is paint the tank, polish the fork legs and swingarm. John also drove 300 klms to deliver the bike free of charge.

I would highly recommend any dealings with him



Thanks mate, you are a great bloke 

Heres the pics of my bikes as requested

Just to cheer you up Ted the swingarm is not legal  ;) you will have to put the standard one on which was supplied with the bike. I agree the swingarm should be legal but it has been done to death on here a hundred times.

It sounds like John did you a big favour with a great bike, I was a little slow :'(. Obviously he does not know you like we do  ::) ;D :P

Hope you have it on the start line next year. It will be good to see you out there again and we miss your mobile Taj Mahal ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for the kind words Ted, it's my sense of professionalism that would never let me sell a bike that I wouldn't want to ride; I'm looking forward to hearing how the bike goes, I'm also interested to hear what jetting changes your mate makes; if he improves it any the bike will be a missile!

Ted I know all about that as I had that exact book in 1977. I also saw more than one bike late in 1977 with those swingarms fitted. I agree they should be legal and it has been done to death on here. The fact remains that they are deemed not legal by the powers that be unless something has changed in the last couple of months. Don't blame me just paint it black and take your chances  ;) ;D

Would be interested in a copy of the Frank Pons porting details if they are for the RM125B 8)

Well, Looks like i will be scheduling a meeting with MA to resolve the matter.



Not sure the porting will be any good for your bike if you put a C model fuel tank on it.....The fuel may get confused as it enters the cylinder, it`s a very complex issue. ;)

Ted , I have the same documents you have in your post  plus a copy of the part number along with other paper work with proof they did exist back in 1977.
 
The day I put mine on my Rm 125 B and I get protested ....I will be asking for all the other COPY  cat arms to show documents to say they have a REPLICA and proof that it is that should shut a few of them up.

For something to be a replica it has to copy the original

If MA deem the original Suzuki optional 1977 aluminium swing arm did not exist then how the fork can you race with a replica arm?

Oldfart, would it be possible you could get a copy of existence to me of the arm. I will take this and other evidence to MA for verification

Cheers

What did they copy Noel?

Replica.....an exact copy or reproduction

Copy.....an imitation or reproduction of an original

If there is no original how can there be replicas?

So it is plausible that numb nuts can replicate a Suzuki alloy swing arm but Suzuki cannot.....please.

They copied their own performance products of the period,
people were hotting up bikes back in 77'  ::)
the optional  Suzuki ally swing arm has been done to death on the forum, but has it actually been tested in the proper channels ,
I think the issue was aluminium swing arms being fitted from manufacturers that did not make an ally swing arm in 77'
