i could be wrong but it looks like a SP in stock frame with longer shocks and forks?dr400's are a better base if you can find a cheap frame and swingarm

Forks look like 38mm RM units to me because of the pinched axle clamp, probably shortened/restricted a bit too. I have got an article somewhere that says beyond a certain shock length with stock swingarm, you need to cut off the brake cable lug on the  frame or else the swingarm hits it. Protec were one of the very first to hit the market with their version of an alloy swingarm for the 370 and each side was parallel, but some months later when White Bros gave their design to Profab they went one better and put a bend/kink in the right side which enables the swingarm to clear the frame so you dont have to mod the frame, plus they had the mount for the brake cable guide and the Protec does not. .Totally bare WB arm weighs 2339g and Protec is 2657g with bronze bushes still fitted. FMF/Al Baker supposedly offered a banana option too but i have never seen one.
Wanted - 1978 TS185 frame or frame&motor. Frame # TS1852-24007 up to TS1852-39022

Thats the kind of bike dreams are made of.
My SP370 is coming along nicely,I had some 35mm forks here that were sold to me as RM but the front hub had a speedo drive so Im guessing they are PE,they gave about 40-50mm more travel,I fitted the RM125 shocks by swapping the eyelets but they bottom out on the body early.Im thinking if I move the top shock mount up higher it may solve the problem.
At the moment my swing arm is hitting the cable holder for the rear brake but the rear does seem a bit too high so I dont mind loosing some ride height.
As far as suspension goes,what part of the bike should bottom out first when your setting one up like this?The RM125 79 seemed to bottom the frame out when the springs were removed so Im guessing the frame?
Im hoping to test ride tomorrow.
