    In the end i decided to just change the piston even though there was a score down the cylinder

    and the head was quite worse for wear.

    But i made the right choice for now as it only cost me a ridiculous £13.55 delivered... Can't go wrong even if it only lasts me a couple of rides!

    Went out for a blast earlier.

    Now just finished swapping over the foot brake for a left hand brake I never got around to fitting on my DTX.

    So should be ready for a bit of stunt practice tomorrow 😃

    @tdr125greg the "fat" area 28 mm is in the clamping area and it reduces to the 22 mm on the ends so you need only the conversion-risers for clamping and you can keep all the other stuff for 22mm

    Tbh these were my first ever proper attempts.. so they didn't turn out great. But that's where the magic of editing comes in. 😉 I was cheating by not using the front brake, and as such I kept gaining speed and couldn't hold them for very long.

    My advice would be just try and get as much weight over the front wheel as possible!

    finally got the brakes done back and front new discs pads and hoses and new fluid seems so much better than they were thats for sure made me relise how bad they were but dont think it helped that the back caliper was sezied on the sliding pin so caliper was not moving strange that the person who had the bike before had done lots of work on the bike before has had new pistons and seals in the brake but forgot to grease the sliding pins just goes to show you can never trust all the paper work for work done if its not been done properly

    This is it. You often find designs have to be rejigged to fit.

    Whilst the lathe I have access to is out of action, they really are not that expensive, you can get a hammond drummon for a few hundred and what you can make on them is endless possibilities

    Yeah, the bike will sit lower in the front with a smaller front-wheel, so it needs a bit more force to bring it up.

    @tdr125greg Looks like Yamaha missed a trick there, as I'm sure that they would have sold a ton of them sweet looking rides!!! 🙂

    Looks nice but not sure I could bring myself to spend just shy of £400 on one!
