      Sadly I badly injured my back at work a few months ago, so I've been unable to do any work on the bike since the injury. My back is getting much better now so hopefully I'll be able to restart working on this project again real soon.........

      Little update some minor changes, originally decided a Matt finish for engine hangers went with a gloss finish think it’s a improvement.

      Installed some electrics

      Still perfecting the swing arm put lots of work into it getting it to a perfect standard

      Had a little play making it look more like a bike😅

      @vtrn_raptor I got one of those Cyclone alarms, which is perfect for my use case.

      A full paid tracker system can really save your bacon.

      H

      @SpookDog Just been reading about your headgasket situation.

      On another thread you commented that you've blocked off your carb warmer circuit using allen bolts and copper washers; potentially this means your cooling system is no longer self-bleeding when you refill the coolant (the stock thermostat has a small bleed hole but it's tiny, <1mm so there's no guarantee this isn't blocked).

      If you have an air pocket right at the top of the head, the coolant may not be pressurising which will lower its boiling point and lead to overheating (and an air pocket will itself lead to a hot spot as there's less coolant there to carry away the excess heat). Possibly increasing the likelihood of your headgasket(s) to fail.

      Try refitting the carb warmer circuit banjos so you can disconnect the hose at the thermostat housing until coolant free of air bubbles emerges when refilling the system (this is how Yamaha and Haynes recommend bleeding the cooling system). If you don't want the carb warmer circuit you can just run a hose straight from one banjo to the other so access to the carb isn't affected.

      Considering how much trouble you've had with ebay gaskets etc., I'd also invest in a genuine Yamaha gasket and maybe a new thermostat (or at least remove yours and test it),

      @donaldmendez
      Thanks, it didn't take anyway near as long as I thought to get it up and running. I've just been doing some final touches.
      I'm going to ride this one on nice days 🙂
      Here's how she stands now.

      @finchfocker I myself just bought the DCCDIP1 race. Seems like a great unit, just programmed myself a ignition map to start off with, hopefully I'll get a chance to plug her in soon!

      Imageworks did them for me, have been really helpful doing most of my graphics. Much better than Facebook ones, good quality comparable to genuine.

      alt text I have nothing against against the Portugal replicas but I can’t tell you how annoying it is that the battery cover isn't black, it’s good to have the originals on. I’m just glad I took them off ASAP as that could’ve been them smashed to pieces.

      Not long after she was loaded up and taken on an adventure. You’d be surprised what you can carry on that luggage rack with just some bungees, a cargo net and a lot of faith.

      I don’t remember taking this photo but as you can see the rally is in full swing

      alt text
      Being at bike rally surrounded by street fighters, HD’s and customs I thought it’s be funny to enter my bike into the Backstreet Heroes Show and well, I didn’t win any prizes (not that I expected too, I hadn’t even cleaned it since I’d last been in some fields and crashed) and in all honesty no one even really looked it at it.
      However I did catch these guys smiling having a little moment reminiscing of their days being yoof’s and owning a DT themselves. never gets old does it?

      alt text
      I honestly love this bike so much. She just looks right.
      Happy with how she sits, and the skimmer profile now I’ve pulled that headlight down.
      I have plans for a custom graphic for the headlight to match the rest of the graphics and to spray the headlight white. What do you think would look better?

      alt text
      You’d also be surprised how tall this bike is, knobblies, 19” rear wheel + wr450 front end have made her impossible to ride if you’re vertically challenged 😂

      alt text
      Sorry about the video I asked some random older dude to take a photo, apparently he doesn’t know how to use an iPhone 😂

      Loading up second time around was a piece of piss and I managed to get everything packed up a lot more efficiently leaving more room for extra gear on other adventures.
      Even sat on the motorway she didn’t miss a beat either, never ceases to amaze me how good these bikes are.
      Overall great rally, first one after 10+ years. I got loads of photos of the bike show so I’ll upload them at some point

      @louis-james Don't know about TZR cylinders.

      But

      3MB
      3MBP
      4FU
      Are bolt ons.

      The 3BN has a slightly bigger bore, so shorter stroke, as a result, a 3MB con rod will bit too long.

      Check the choke passageway in the floatbowl, for some reason people never clean this when they clean the carb.
