Interesting chamber

Someone sent me a copy of May 1974 Dirk Bike magazine the other day, and this motorcycle is featured in an advertisement. But what’s interesting is it says Mitsubishi International corporation - Annex. So maybe the Japanese were actually actually behind the funding of this motorcycle. I have seen virtually every motorcycle or read about them from the early 1970s and I have never seen this brand. Extremely rare.

I bought a new one as a kid from C.O.M.B.S. Liquidators in Mpls., MN. Those aren’t the original frame and seat colors

Country of origin?

Hi Ken or junior , hopefully you guys have a moment to spare for me , I own a tw 125 and I'm currently checking things over after the timing chain adjuster failed .. but possibly the valves may be damaged , but I don't think they are..... I'm just at the point of fitting the adjuster not and I'm new to this process , do I need to tension the mechanism to close the adjuster and then release once it's installed , or do put it into the bike with the adjuster fully open and push.... Any advice or a quick conversation would be brilliant..... One last thing is , the cam chain has brushed the casing and I found bits in the oil when I changed it...... Should I file the sharp edges , (being careful to not get more bits in the engine ? ) .. I understand you guys are but but with you having a tw not long ago I figured you might have an idea of what I should do.. Wishing you the best.

I always thought you guys ran 927 castor, I can smell it from here lol
