You're welcome. I did quite a bit of work to the TS in preparation for the new owner, because he has no motorcycle maintenance and repair experience.

I discovered that the airbox was actually for a TS125, which explains why it was such a poor fit. I bought a TS185 airbox on eBay, and a new air boot from Bike Bandit. I also swapped out the forks for a pair I scored on eBay, since mine were a little bent and the finish was wasted.

He intends to slowly work on the bike and repair the seat and tank. I'll follow his progress and take pics when I have the opportunity.
