    @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.

                  @finnerz89 Mine don't lmao.

                  They have to send it away. But yes, they offer that service, but don't do it personally.

                              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.

                                    Thanks, 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.

                                      Hi all

                                      I have just purchased a dt125r sm 2006 looking at doing a full rebuild so any advice would be much appreciated starting with powder coating and were to get new fairing and if possible any recommendations on who can do an engine rebuild .
