RM125B internals, caps and lower legs but has PE175 tubes at the moment. It has just less than 9" travel

I've got a spare set of forks here. I'll bring them to Glenbawn for ya. You can have them for free if they are of any use to you.

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

Oh, and some silver paint for that steel girder hangin' off the back as well :-*

Very generous Ted much appreciated maybe you don't have to paint that swingarm black ;D ;D

We look like having a stand alone field for Pre78 125 if they all show up, now all we have to do is learn to eat big Scotties Yammie dust :D and Reece's Suzi dust as well if he shows up ;D

You never know Jens may have his RM125S there as well ;). Noel Honda is a rapid thing as well.

I still have to run in the engine after a complete rebuilding including NOS crank and fine tune the suspension and jetting.

What gearing you running?

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

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 :P
