RM125B completed and ridden

[Ted]

I'll see if I can get you some black fork boots. Them blue ones look hideous.

Yes very strange thing those fork boots. Suzuki still list the fork boots so I ordered a genuine set of fork boots, they fit perfectly but arrived in blue At first I spat it but now think they are OK sort of go with the odd rims that I had on hand. Tried to get a matching rear rim but no go so spoked up what I had.

I even fitted a proper rubber mount for the muffler

I've seen you race Scotty, don't fear tha Sec

Sec....
            On second thoughts I have seen your dress sense...blue will do for you

The Pre78s should be great this year as there are at least three new 125s, three new 250s and looks like two new 500s  . Happy days

I think it's unreal that interest is growing in Pre 78  There is some very good riders that ride that era but its gets batshit boring watching / flagging races with only a couple of bikes in it

Ted will be joining the rest of us BATs. 

Scotty, was looking forward to riding today but that bloody spained thumb from last weekend is only just starting to come good . Bloody thing swelled up bad last Sunday after I got home . Gotto fix that suspension before next months ride days (stiffer springs ordered ). It is a choice track and a fun day so I'll be there with the YZ (can not believe I have a Yamahaha ) in April.

Very nice  save the blue gaitors  What shocks are you running ?

[Montynut]

YSS shocks, PD valves and fork springs.

Nice job greg all you need now is a alloy swing arm

Very nice, just can't help feeling it needs a trick swinger as well.

[Montynut]

I have a couple of RM125C jobbies away at the welders now actually, weld on a couple of lugs and we are away. Just imagine all those RM125C sitting around without swingsarms. Maybe they can keep all those fuel tankless YZ125C/X company   

[TM BILL]

YSS shocks, PD valves and fork springs.

Did you buy them specificly set up for your bike ?

[Montynut]

Yep Bill, Walter now has the frame specs and mounting details. Just sent him my riding wieght and standard. One of which is high and the other very average leave that to your imagination

[TM BILL]

One of these would look good 

[Dono113]

Nice

[Montynut]

That looks veerrrrry nice Bill.

The 125B was an outstanding bike in its year. I had one on fuel which was a great bike. I can remember a twin meeting in Dubbo with Short Circuit Saturday and MX Sunday and it was a rocket. Why don't we still have meetings like that?

125Bs are getting hard to find these days, Ted got a real bargain with his. The one I rebuilt was a complete basket case which did a main bearing in 1983 or so and sat in a shed dismantled until last year. Clutch cover off head and cylinder removed etc.

It was owned by a guy I raced against in the 70s and I happened to mention I would like a 125B and he said well I still have mine in the back shed Then he said I saw bits of it kicken' around the other day but we managed to find 90% of it. A lot of things were past restoring while others were excellent. Chucked the carbie as it was an alloy fuz ball but the frame, en engine were not as bad as I thought they would be. Fork tube shot and every rubber part was stuffed.

great resto, a job well done! I was a lucky son of @#$% got a phone call from a mate, there is a RM125B for sale all origial why the hell he just did'nt snap it up himself  what a good mate hey I loved raceing that bike as a kid, thought I was Gaston Rahier, well until the 1st race  ah first race was at Whyalla in 38 deg c and threw up in me BELL helmet, got a 3rd and won 1 dollar for me troubles

Nice job Scrivo. This may just be the first step of weaning yourself off Montesas. The conversion to Yamahas seems to have worked for Mr Nimmo so who knows, this little RM might be the beginning of your religious conversion  .
