My RM80B barn-find roach rescue.

Yeh Gaz, what are you doing with an RM80B with a non stock muffler & front guard  ;-)

Beats me, how the hell do you score all that trick shit?

[BEARVMX]

Right place right time for me, the bike is now owned by Byrners Suzuki I got it for him, not the right muffler and motor needs a rebuild, big k painted the tank, side covers are original but painted still a pretty good looking rm80b hey guys cheers Bear

John, do you need a cheap airbox for the B, as it looks like yours is missing.  Gumtree has a complete B one for sale for $30.  http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/gosford/parts/suzuki-rm80-77-air-box/1092857323

Cheers,

It's coming-along, sounds crisp.  Still have to get more stuff, I custom-made the side covers from a yellow plastic tub off ebay, fuel-tank painted with a rattle-can  :-)  Thanks to Alex on here for the pipe heat-shield and valuable information.





The yellow tub used for front plate & sidecovers  :-)

Thinking outside of the square with yellow tub looks good ... Top job

Excellent job John, hard to believe it is the same bike.

I'm loathe to say this as it may be construed as a sales pitch (not) and it sucks when someone knocks your efforts but mate that muffler just looks so wrong. Too large and modern looking.

But do you know anyone that could help remedy this problem...?

Yep I agree with you, I only put it on to start it, the muffler & front guard are coming off quick-smart; I will hand-make an original looking muffler for it.  :-)

That will be interesting.  If you need measurements then i will be able to give you exact details of length, diameter etc.  Glad that the alloy muffler and front guard are going.  The bike has come up brilliant.
