Vintage Two Strokes / Re: My Old RM's

........, re-lined arc'd brakes........

Nice stuff. I have an '80 RM125 (about half done-PE175 engine w/the 125 trans hopefully) and same year 100 to go with it.

Would you have the shoes/drums matched if it was to be done all over again?

Those bikes are pretty much the standard "deal". I have an aquaitance who had a factory support ride back in the day and had 9 125's in his dad's shop. He suddenly quit racing and a truck was sent to pick them up. He had NOTHING left to ride.....

If you ever come across a good deal on a Husky 390, go for it. 

No kiddin'! A friend of mine recentely bought a barn fresh 79 also. We checked it over, cleaned the carb and it fired right up. That thing is a rocket, even with typical Husqvarna clutch/jetting issues. Of course I usually ride small-bores, so most "big" motors usually impress me. 

This is also my first post here. Been lurking for awhile. I'm an old slow guy. Will ride my PE175 in 50+ Int tomorrow at the Casey AHRMA National. My "RM175" isn't quite ready. Gonna be a hot one......
