Why the heck would you want to do a fool thing like that Nathan?


 Iffff your desperate or the lobotomy isnt working well than i guess it would. Ive seen one (silver engine) in a RM125 frame and thats what the PE175 are based on.

Now you know go have a good lie down and forget about it before someone comes with a white coat with very long sleeves and buckles down the back.

No for the later reed engine (center port exhaust) but probably for a side port engine '76 model

There was such a bike advertised on Gumtree a few months ago (home-built trials bike based on early (side port) TS185 and it looked pretty good too

Lol pokey: cheap non-running PE and cheap running TS...

But I missed out on the TS, so we'll see.

It would have more bottom end but thats about it unless you work the hell out of the engine.

 i think i have a spare engine and pipe but getting it to the south coast could be the issue.
I see them on ebay in melbourne fairly cheap  most of the time.
 if your really set on it and cant find anything you know where I am.

 id maybe look for maybe an XR200 and play with that engine. could be a nice rider.

Saint, I had a half assed attempt at a TS/RL185 using an old TS185ER. What stopped me in my tracks was after I'd re-positioned the footpegs up and back (instead of under and forward) I couldn't use the kickstarter ??? never thought of that ::) Needless to say it went no further :(

A guy in NZ did one on the early/mid 70's. used a 250 ignition for the heavier flywheel. made a pipe, small seat, moved the pegs, made an airbox, plastic guards etc. I don't know if he de-raked it or not. He rode it for a while then bought an RL250

I have just remembered such a trials bike made from a TS185ER. I will post a couple of photos of it on Trials Australia here http://www.trials.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=9807

I was thinking more along the lines of an early TS185 engine in an RL250 frame.........
(If that had been done before)

I would be pretty surprised if someone would replace the RL250 motor which is very good for trials with any other motor unless all they had was a bike with no motor.
I've seen photos of an early 1970s Bultaco trials bike with a sideport Suzuki TS250 (I think) motor (bike built in the 1970s) and am currently working on building a similar bike myself. It is likely that early RL250 prototypes used Bultaco Sherpa T frames
