Project I can't leave things alone!

[gareth_iowc]

So the project isn't dead I've just been extremely busy with work.

Finally found a twin rad setup that works - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252198042402

The bike is currently at the machine shop getting the engine brackets and radiator brackets made up.

And this arrived today

[Calum]

Yes mate that is awesome.

Wicked find on those radiators too!

Even though my project is done, a set of ally radiators will be bought to help with the heat dissapation!

Top job.

[gareth_iowc]

I was very happy with them when they arrived. Just needed to get some brackets made to fit nicely.

[gareth_iowc]

So this turned up today

[gareth_iowc]

Hi all,

So.....

The project isn't dead but I still don't have it back from the machine shop. It's only been 4 months for a couple of brackets I'm going to get a bit pissed with the guy soon!!

But these came today


Hmm getting an error uploading photos...

[gareth_iowc]

 

Error request entity to large

[Calum]

@gareth_iowc I can only accept images of a certain size since I only have a limited bandwidth.

Either resize the images, or upload it directly yourself to Imgur. And embed

@calum

I love all these projects but fitting a lighting coil stator and lights then road registering an actual YZ125 would be easier ?

[Calum]

@scrimsmustang Sometimes it's just a question of funds, or more importantly lack of.

[scrimsmustang]

@calum Yes it but i think u can get a decent YZ125 for the same as a DTR these days Cal, mind you I guess its fun modifying them and having it how you want it. YZ front end with DTR shock will stiff front rubbish soft as rear end a stiffer DTX rear shock would be better and easy to fit no mods. 18 inch WR250/450 etc enduro rear excel rim would offer a better tyre choice rather than a 19 YZ motox rim also WR250/450 front wheel has a cable speedo drive unlike the YZ not a criticism just would be the same but easier.

[Calum]

@scrimsmustang Yeah I know what you're saying.

There are a variety of reasons why one might do it. I know for one thing that at this point in time it's a sentimental attachment to my RE which would mean I'd never get rid of it. Which is silly cause it's a bit of a Only Fools & Horses "Trigger Broom" moment, other than the frame, swingarm, engine and shock, nothing on my bike is original original. So it's effectively a completely different bike.

Despite that, I could never get rid of it.

@scrimsmustang Yeah I know what you're saying.

I was like that, not now I just keep changing all the time. Keeps me occupied having said that I aint touched any for 2 month now lol.

[Calum]

@scrimsmustang Also, I bet you still got your TDR250

[gareth_iowc]

Whora hijack!! Haha

@scrimsmustang just bolting a light to a yz isn't fun. It's all about building something your way that no one else has.

I'm not some one that can just buy and sell bikes I get attached to them. I've had my dt 9 years and it changes with me. No other dt would ever feel the same. Its like having a child and watching it grow.

@Calum ah ok thanks annoying. Has it changed? I used to upload from my phone before.

Yes I have Cal but thats not a DT lol

Yes I agree, sort of. like I said I enjoy looking at all these projects and what people do. Cant fault u mate

[Calum]

@gareth_iowc Have you changed the resolution of your camera. Yeah maybe, the forum had a massive outage recent where the HDD failed (probably right after 3 years of solid abuse).

[gareth_iowc]

I don't think so... I've got an Apple ishit and it's stayed the same as far as I'm aware. I'll upload them to the mac and try again

[gareth_iowc]

Right lets try again...

so these turned up yesterday

had the headlight cowling a while but i finally ordered the others.

all brand new and genuine.

i haven't ordered the front mud guard yet as i think i might use the more sporty looking yz one.
