Be honest ......now list the prices you would sell the items for 

Thats your Fullas job Stu  please put whatever price you think each part is worth in the current market .

Are you including tow truck drivers rates for wages? $250hr.....lol

[TM BILL]

Ok bit of progress 

Stripped PE forks





One of the damper rod cap screws was rounded out so had to drill it out 







Also mudguard bolts snapped off in triples , heat is your best friend 











Bit more gentle heat to ease fork seals out

[TM BILL]

Blasted and cleaned up triples , will probably paint or powdercoat depending on budget .



Cleaned up fork lowers , but again will paint , powdercoat or reuse cleaned up yellow rubber fork boots .

[TM BILL]

Have ordered new fork seals , will srip the forks in my race RM 125B and replace a leaking seal . While their apart i will try to modify the PE internals to match the 125B internals . I have a stack of old rm forks so will see what we can match up .

Do need a pair of RM 125 B fork caps though  will buy or trade if somone has some 



I could use these DG caps at a push

[TM BILL]

Frame had been altered at coil mounts and reat brake pedal adjuster so had to be put back as it should be using bits from donor frame .









TF 125 foot pegs were in stock and drilled out to accept 10mm pins , seem to do the job $30.00 ?



I had these pins turned up for rear brake pedals years ago , just grind off old weld and remove worn pin , press in replacement and reweld    Pin $10.00 ?



Redrill frame to fit new pin 13mm and jobs a gooden

[TM BILL]

I do have this one in stock  but this is a budget build so this will go back on the shelf 

[Davey Crocket]

Because its in Pacific Peso's and not a currency of value it puts a different light on things...you kiwi's do have a sport thats low on numbers and that reflects on the value of your bikes/parts [cheap as chups lucky buggers]....now as long as you dont solicit for any sexual favors (keep Lizzie Taylor away unless he fronts with some NOS parts...then and only then you can watch him and maRc.com going at it......no pictures please....this is a family show). I guess your on the money, maybe a little cheep on some parts but then your there and I'm not....and I've been privvy too your parts warehouse tour so know you have alot in stock...I guess with write downs and depreciation your probably close too the mark....dont forget the $2 rattle cans, consumables, beer/tea/curry pies/chups/V/panadols ( when it get tuff), internet time, carbon tax, import tax, maori tax, GST and anything else you think you should be giving....hopefully it doesnt blow the buget. Look forward to the next eppisode...cheers.
