Slow progress on the TS/TM400
Collecting bits for it has been a challenge to some degree, but eventually finding what I want.

New pipe, ignition, carb, bearings throughout, piston, TM400 trans and so on....

Spokes tightened and trued up.
Tires mounted and balanced, confirming that I will have chain clearance and I believe clearance for my front brake torque arm.

Just about to the point of stripping the bike 100% apart now that I know how I want it to look....

Frame is ready for its next life...used polyuroxy black for primer, and then clear coated with about 10% flatner to give it the right look.
....just need to get some motivation, and my chemicals for my replating of nuts/bolts/axles...

It's the frame from the above TM/TS400 project.
Have a set of fork tubes ordered from franks forks, as the originals had been slightly bent. A set of aluminum body Icons for the rear have been waiting in a box to get used.

Using a set of aluminum TM triples to replace the bent (steering stop) heavy steel original TS version

Randy, I love that Jemco and I predict that bike will be giggle-in-the-helmet fun for you. Great project and your write-ups are always entertaining

Wish I could write up more, but the older I get the more I think about doing, and the less I actually do...

Bit by bit....
Doing my own replating again.
