Why, yes! You can have the spring on your new Penske or any other shock, in any color you want. Even black. Bright pink with sparkles may be faster… just $60.

Rob has two 125’s with LE suspension. He sent this photo and message from a test day: “New suspension feels great! I was on the bike with the stock rebuilt rear for the first time. I can do a tiny power slide in the same spot every lap.” Here he added a smiling Devil face in the text message. “I can be competitive on either machine I feel. Thank you so much.” I guess power slides on a 125 are mostly tiny. With LE you don’t need to buy expensive aftermarket stuff, I’ll put the good valving in whatever you have.

It’s time to bring another TZ back to life. These boxes contain a 5KE (2000 and newer) TZ250 engine. And yes, there are five championship plates on my wall and they do mean I’m an Ace.

This is my outside sink, part of my washing station. Too many critters could not understand that the wood ramp was also a critter exit after they jumped in looking for water. Now they have an exit door. Lindemann Engineering not just suspension.

In order to be sure a TZ 250 engine won’t suck in air when slowing down you must pressure test it. It needs to hold about 7 PSI.

These TZR cases were machined for an unknown reason. The result is that the boss on the end of the cases is smaller than the hole in this TZ ignition plate. So I made a spacer with an interference fit. After shrinking it in the freezer, I pressed it into the plate. Lindemann Engineering, not just suspension.

This bike was bought bit by bit from E Bay, some of the parts don’t match the other thing. Kind of fun to work out fixes.

It’s time to put Billy’s TZ together.
