PROJECT: 1979 RM125

Well, the good news is she runs... The bad news is that I missed 'Dilla Rewind.

The forks are still at Noleen J6, and the bike is just waiting on them to be rebuilt, the only new aesthetic are the grips/throttle.

She didn't start without trouble. Turning on the fuel caused it to immediately pour from the vent lines, so I pulled it to check the floats.

Carb Parts Warehouse put them in upside-down!!

After fixing it, the VM34 let it start no problem.

Just finished it this weekend.  Rode it, it's awesome.

More photos to follow, probably going to sell it to fund the 500 because I'm pretty tapped at the moment.

It is so surprisingly fun.  There is no bottom end push, at midrange it quickly builds into an impressive top end rush.

You're not making this any easier!

She's thrifty. Maybe bought a pair of shoes once in the five years we've been married. One of us has to be!

First off awesome job!  I was wondering about the kickstarter and what bike it came from or where did you get it? I just picked up the same bike today and plan a full resto!  Was wondering if it would be ok to contact you from time to time for some help?  Any info would be great!  Thanks

saw your bike on Ebay! hopefully someone will buy that beast! Also it looked like the clutch cover side peeled off pretty easy, any reason why?
