    My new hunting mobile / winter project

    snapped this one up from Drahthaar, been looking for a sub-$500 runner on TM for ages.....

    she's a 81 TF100 X with engine, front wheel and forks transplant from a 97 TF125 W

    Name: 20140317_195244.jpg Views: 763 Size: 452.1 KB

    started the cleaning and inspection process tonight.

    back carrier off
    removed and cleaned oil tank
    checked and cleaned the air filter compartment
    removed the fork boots - seals look good - so that is one less job
    looks like the carb could do with a rebuild - that will be a first for me

    found a guy close by who is wrecking another TF125, so might go and scrounge up parts tomorrow.

    will probably turn it into a rat bike, matt black and olive green

    DONT DO IT!

    Fix what needs fixing and use it or restore to original and use it.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    it's already a mongrel Cam, if it was original I would not even be thinking it

    pretty cool that the motors and most of the running gear has not changed much since 73

    Rat bike doesn't look as functional as you would want.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    As with most things GM, the level of "ratness" can go completely overboard

    I was just thinking of a matt spray job, and possibly asking Moonhunt for some mean old boar tusks to mount on the front fender, hehe....

    Just make sure you can remember where you left it, ... and find it.

    I had TF125 as a hunting bike for years.

    Rugged as hell and reliable too.

    I put a 13 tooth on the front and a 64 tooth on the back.

    Top speed was only about 40kph but shit could it climb.

    Cheers
    Pete
