2/9/2024 11:11am I used to race but had to stop due to injuries. It was always a dream of mine too race a Giant killer but was never able to. In the early 2000s I got the fever to build one and searched every day for a swing arm. One finally surfaced in 2016 and by 2017 I had it done. I...

5/7/2021 4:56pm Its all started with a standard bore and a modified framed 78 rm125 and was built using a NOS LOP head, NOS LOP swingarm and a restored LOP integrated pipe.

5/3/2021 7:12am Do you have more
Look at PN's recommendation of (one of) Thor's site extensions: http://www.evolutionsuspensionproducts.com/ It's in the Betor-Ceriani-Marzocchi Fork and Shocks and KYB Airshocks listing. These are the pictures he has there as an example of the 16 pages - the cover and the index page: 
$5.00 is not going to break the bank for info you are after. And $41 for seals, wipers, bottom out bumpers and O'rings for a pair of shocks is more than fair . Thor Lawson is an absolute goldmine of Info, Parts and Service, for so much 'Vintage' suspension.

Nice work Robert!! We ended up doing a couple mods to it and used the original front fitting to add a temperature gauge, then moved the coolant input to the front side of the head. Its probably over-kill but didn't want to risk overheating the engine.
