Thanks! That’s a nice front end on that bike and a some good components. How’s the Motostuff front brake set up feel out on the track? What model RM?

Im not trying to be rude or put my nose in your personal business. Have you kept track of how much money you've invested in this incredible project? I'm going to guess $20,000.00.

So far the the overall cost hasn’t been too bad, the bike was cheap and I’ve done all the work myself besides engine and suspension which keeps the cost down. Hardest part has been the finding parts and waiting on freight to arrive.

The bike look incredible! I am always a huge fan of the SoBe bikes. Back in the day I bout a couple sets of the SoBe graphics for my RM125 from Suzuki when they had a line of SoBe team stuff in their catalogs. May I ask who did your graphics?

Thanks mate. I’ve always had Suzuki’s too although the big bikes are a bit of a let down lately. How’s your 2005 coming along?

Thanks. I had the same too, I had Sobe graphics on my 2001 RM125 for a few years. I had seen genuine ones around recently but they were expensive. I’ll send you a message with details on the graphics 👍

Currently all stripped down, getting ready to send the frame for Powdercoat. I’ve got a box of parts I need to take to the vapor blaster but works been picking up and had to leave it sitting the next few weeks.

This place seems littered with nice RM's lately! I just finished an 04, though I still want to DLC my suspension.

Thanks mate. I originally wanted to run the carbon cover but decided it may have looked too much with carbon everywhere else so I got the standard one cerakoted and the Suzuki logo cleaned up.

You’ve done well with your build everything has turned out really good on it. The list of things to do on them never really seems to end does it!
