RM125 B SWINGARM

Not sure, I know that the 77 alloy arm existed and it was painted black because I saw a couple in 77. Maybe that's what the 2 with lugs are that you have?

i have a c with the alloy arm that has the brake lug on it its one of the first 30 from the start of the c numbers ,it has the floating backing plate,and arm conected to the frame

came off a very early c model

Just remembering out load,
I am sure while I owned a motorcycle wreckers in the late 80's I purchased a very average B model fitted with a C type alloy arm, I kept that arm and several others so I am not sure if it had the lug or was a floater.
I have a friend who was very senior management at SUZUKI and was in charge of International MX Racing during the 70's. He has since retired but I will ask if he can assist.

Once again that would be appreciated

Ill say it again as I have in the other  1950483 posts on this, I had a alloy arm on my b before the end of 77 it was painted black , had the stay arm lug ( even though my old man converted it to full floater same as Yamaha had) and the welding is not as great as the c model ones. The reason I know this is A: I raced the bike and B: I still have it!!
 I makes no difference , until the oz rules state it is allowed it will always be a contentious issue to some.
 Com`e race in NZ anything goes

If you still have this original bike is that not the proof that is needed

My research has discovered the following points :

Point # 1 : MA know nothing of the B arm being illegal

Point # 2 : The only place this arm is illegal, according to some, is this forum

Point # 3 :  Somebody supposedly got barred from an event because of the arm. Till this day nobody can name the event or the entrant.

Would you be prepared to put together a  Statutory Declaration confirming that you had one fitted to your B in 1977 as I have it on very good authority that is all that is required to get this over the line.

Cheers

I have argued this at length with another forum member and he insists I have to prove it, photo or something with a date ! this I do not have unfortunately. Also as I am in NZ I am sure MA will not recognize it.

fork the forum member. Everyone knows the onus of proof bullshit rule. If you had it get a Stat Dec together and we will see. As per PM

Really? Okay I will sign a stat. Declaration and just say I had one.  I never even rode back then but sounds like you have the answer as opposed to proving it. I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday so I am amazed people can remember what happened nearly forty years ago.
