    SO, some small time passed.

    Bike has been partially stripped. Feels good to get all the Faux retro crap off.

    Then, I got stuck at the bolt which holds the swing arm and engine to the frame.

    Corresponding nut came off with some encouragement, but nothing I can do is getting that bolt out. WD40 overnight, block of wood and a hammer and it hasn't budged.
    I'm planning to throw it in the back of my van sometime and get my mechanic to give it a go. I think normally, where those flat plates are, you would have raised standoffs. The other problem is that I'll now need to fabricate a seat (I got rid of the old school one before seeing this)

    The other problem is someone has been messing with the frame. I'm actually pretty gutted about this. I'm on the tall side, so a lower seat is far from ideal. I considered getting rid of all my DT stuff when I saw this, but I'll keep going and maybe put some jack up links on when I'm done if it's too low.

                    Is that the original fuel tank?

                      @ricky0115 No, I beleive that is off an SR 125. It has a high tech lock system fitted involving a screwdriver and hammer.

                        Very nice, I wonder what other tanks would fit the dtr frame!

                          @ricky0115 I guess "fit" is a bit of a variable. It has been made to stick to the frame. We'll see how that was done when I get it off. I'm not sure if I'll put it back on. I'd like something far smaller.

                          I can see in old CBT it got an advisory for "tank rubbers".

                            My local sand blaster charges approx £60 to do a frame and swing arm which makes it a no brainer over doing it yourself if you don't have the appropriate kit.

                            Your bike looks like someone has tried to jump on the current band wagon of the retro scrambler but missed the mark by a long way.

                            Your bike should be relatively easy to return to DTR style if all the original brackets etc are still present.
