Hi

This is my first post on here, I have been busy the past 6 months building up a Rm 125 that i got off ebay. The bike was a complete wreck and needed a full build, all new bearings (motor too) powder coated frame / re anodized parts shock body fork stations/feet. Vapour blasted cases...the list is very long hence the time it has taken.Still a few things to do pc pipe boyesen clutch cover and a few other bits..not to much now before the getting it riding right.

Very nice ! The aluminum tank/shrouds takes the RM to a new level. RM owners, get your wallets out.

Really nice build, I'm a sucker for alloy tanks, my sidecar and solo both have them... Be careful that they are mounted correctly or they will split/crack/fracture although mine are on big bore bikes, you won't get the same vibration from a 125.

Just received an email back from them. $605 is the cost and $100 to ship it. I am going to have to pass on this one. Cool, but I just can't justify that kind of money for it.
