Hey guys-
Got another project on the way, this one's a doozie. It's a 1979 RM125, in terrible shape. I got it for a case of beer, and have been buying parts for it ever since. This bike's a clean canvas, so I might as well go all out. I'm building it in preparation for an assault on Unadilla MX Rewind 2013.
I'll post pictures as they roll in, but don't have much to show yet. Aside from new bearings, bushings, gaskets, and seals, here's the skinny on what I'll be making here.
DG Head - purchased
55.5mm Wiseco Kit - purchased
Pro-X Rod Kit - purchased
Vintage Iron Retro Rocket Pipe - being constructed
Custom Carbon Silencer - needs mocking up
Boyesen Reeds - on order
Pro Form Racing Footpegs - purchased
New brakes, cables, kill switch, throttle, levers/perches, kickstarter - purchased
Renthal Vintage Hi 7/8" bars - purchased
Cylinder, DG Head, Piston Kit, and Reed Block are off to Eric Gorr right now to be bored, honed, milled, and ported for a Mid-to-Top powerband. The magnesium clutch and ignition covers are off to PTI industries for a Dow 7 treatment. Later in the build I'll focus on the suspension, sending the forks off to Race Tech and have custom Shocks built to match. Stay tuned.
