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

@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.

@nottsbiker ah just what I need, do you have a contact number for this blaster? Struggling to find one in Nottingham

@ricky0115 any powder coaters or painters will do sand blasting

This is who i use;
Website is all cars but they do bike stuff for cash. If you know Nottingham they are near the Virgin Media HQ on the Colwick loop road.

@nottsbiker perfect thanks mate

No problem mate
My TDR parts will be going in to them over the winter for a refresh

@nottsbiker my frames going in tomorrow whilst I have it all stripped down, hopefully I remember where all the bolts came from

Good luck! I'm in Brittany at moment so bit far too take mine to drop it in

I've added some more pics and an update. Yes, it's been a while, I got my big bike license and cars etc, so the little DT's been tucked away in the shed.
I'm hoping to keep working on it, but who knows, maybe I'll only be back in a couple years again.

@Uber_Beluga Wow, blast from the past.
Just cause you got your bike/car license doesn't mean the DT has to be relegated.

Yeah, it shouldn't should it! I'm keen to carry on, but that bolt has me beat.

http://www.triple-s.co.uk/index.htmThanks, great to get recommendations. There are so many cheating lying traders around me in London, it's a pleasure to take a trip to get honest workers to help me out.
