Hi Mike
I am experienced in Magnesium welding and have the equipment in my shed. How do they stand up once welded? I just assumed they crack again?

This is only my experience. You could buy 2 RM 125's for the price of one KTM which is the main reason there numbers were low. There much heavier than a RM 125. They make allot less horse power than a RM 125.

They are a cool bike and could make a great collectable pool room bike but race bikes they are not as competitive as say the RM 125. The 79/80 models are a very competitive bike.

This is a clarke tank fitted to a high breather frame and It did take allot of effort. I would buy some for sure if they make the small 74 MX tank size that fits.

Thanks for the offer but Im trying to get away from the old plates. There is a Kawasaki plate that fits the 80's bikes

Thanks for the replies guys.
I'm in Australia so yes I can be difficult to ship to.
Also looking for some 76/77 400 engine cases.

Here is some go pro footage taken from my bike during the Australian VMX championships

Thankyou for the welcome.
Just returned from the Australian VMX championships with a win in the pre 78 250 class on the bike in the photo.

Have a small crack in the axle clamp on left leg. Anyone have spare fork bottom to suit for sale?

Looking for 125 bottom end or complete engines, all parts considered.

Does anyone know of a modern plate that retro fit the steel baskets on mid 70's 250.

Cheers Mike
