WANTED - RM80 B/C parts, anything really.
« on: October 01, 2015, 09:39:08 pm »
Just picked-up a barn-found roach, it's going to need a bit; what have you got for sale?  Apparently the engines are much the same 77 to 81 (air cooled) and DS80 & JR80 78 to 06.

Hi John,
I did PM you tonight. I have an exhaust heat shield you can have for the price of postage.

Cheers,
Alex

Sorry Richo, I'm going ahead with the rebuild; the bikes has good spark, plenty of compression, even has the original IRC tyres on it (well rooted though).  Getting excited about this mission now  :-)

No worries Alex and John all good......just got myself an RM100B with 125 barrel FMF porcupine head FMF up pipe and by what the seller says of the internals .....sounds FMF too! Going to put longer shocks and 250B front end and make it a full size 125 ;-)

I would have thought you'd run the 125B forks?

Wouldn't a set of DG airfork caps make the C forks look legal?
