After many years in various garages and sheds, it hasn't done too well
, but I finally have the spare time to try to restore it.
Should look more like this
Wish me luck

Suzuki TS125 early 70s “Dusterâ€
Bought this orange 72 TS125J in the late 70s for a girlfriend at the time to ride to work, but when it wouldn’t start one winter she stopped riding it and I put it away in one of my dads lock ups.

The strip down progresses well 
Despite some initial concerns that many parts would be beyond saving, its actually better than expected. Although the jury is still out on the tank which I need to get stripped back to find out
also the seat pan is a bit crispy
Overall, lots of usable original parts once repainted or rechromed

After searching around for spares for the TS, I came across another one for sale - I now have 2
Originally thought I'd use it as a donor bike - it has lots of standard parts missing, but does have a running engine, better tank plus 1 or 2 other bits I need.
However, seems a shame to break a complete working bike - maybe I'll try to restore both

Just collected my TS125J tank from the restorers - thought you might be interested in some before and after photos - was worried the tank was beyond saving, but Steve at MTS did a great job - although he did say it was one of the worst he'd ever done
