Looks like a great start for a project. Pretty much all there and looks good for a bike that was around before 59 had pubes.  Nice job on the tank.

What happens in waxing salons between two big boofy blokes is nobody elses business...  :o

Not that there is anything wrong with that...

I picked it up last year for 800 with a fair few spares as well! The had it in his shed for the last 10 years! He claims the pipe is an ex factory pipe and I does look alot like the factory pipes on the rh and rns! It's just the stock head mate just paint has worn haha!

If anyone has any NOS parts for a tm let me know!

hey just would like to know if anyone has a tm125 seat for sale? I had TOPLINE in frankston fit the seat foam and cover and he had to shave quite alot of the tm seat foam that i got from vintage suzuki in the US to make it fit properly!

I think the seat that come on the bike is not the correct one im thinking its for a rm125 m/s because the rear of the seat base has quite a big cut out for the rear wheel travel and there is a big gap between the back of the seat and the rear guard :(

Anyway Frame and parts are back from blasting and powder coaters and look awesome!
