Project I can't leave things alone!

@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.

@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.

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.

@scrimsmustang Also, I bet you still got your TDR250
-
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 agree, sort of. like I said I enjoy looking at all these projects and what people do. Cant fault u mate

@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).
-
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
-
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.

@gareth_iowc Gotta wait for them to embed themselves before hitting submit.
In the text area, click "SHOW PREVIEW".
DO NOT CLICK SUBMIT UNTIL THE IMAGE APPEARS IN THE PREVIEW.

@gareth_iowc I believe the NGINX proxy will time out requests if they take too long. Your Mac is probably faster than your phone.
YOu can always upload them to Imgur yourself don't forget
-
@Calum i don't have an account and i'm lazy
i think the cowling was £120 and the rest came to £275 not bad for genuine parts that aren't really around anymore
-
People collecting plastics now, they should as even these later 98 till 02 Blue ones are becoming nla.
The Blue cowl is now nla, so are the side panels. Mudguards and tank panels are still order-able but will probably run out soon.
-
So the new stator with lighting output turned up today.
But still no sign of the bike
-
@gareth_iowc They are just to say up to the job, running through a 12v regulator the lights are like half out candles at low revs so you might need a sympathetic mot tester and the horn you can just to say hear. I ended up fitting a battery powered mountain bike horn it was that bad when just using the lighting coil. You can replace the DTR ignition circuits in the DTR loom with the YZ ones and then you still have the DT,s standard reg/rec and charging system and keep your battery. Its not to bad once you get into the loom, done this years ago on 06 YZ125 with DTR loom for lights for me mate..

@scrimsmustang were you using normal bulb lights? i was going led all round.
my m.o.t tester is one of the 3 blind mice
