F403 MJM 88 3DB1 DT125R
-
Going to make a start on F403 MJM an 88 Endurance Blue DTR, Ive had it in boxes for over a year now after buying it as a none runner from ebay. Finally got everything for it now. The final piece the headlamp cowl turned up the other week from CMS dont know where they got it from as I check now and again then 1 in stock, the engine is all done and ive blasted the frame etc the other day. Got no pictures yet just the new plastics most ive had since before I got the bike so ile stick them up for now, all genuine decals also.
-
@scrimsmustang One of my favourite colour schemes, this one is going to be good!

Is this to be sold or a keeper?
I dont know, I will probably keep it a while then sell it usual when the next one to restore pops up.

Is that fluo yellow disc guard original? Looks awesome
Yes its original DT200R one, it should be Blue but cant find one, cant find another Yellow one neither to be honest.
-
@scrimsmustang I saw the Portuguese bloke sells the fluo plastics which are nice but I think they would only suit the real custom dts not the “normal” looking ones if you know what I mean but that yellow with that blue is a beautiful combo

@scrimsmustang man that was rough the yellow completes it in my opinion

@scrimsmustang Now that is what you call a restoration job for-sure. You obviously have a real passion for restoring bikes, which clearly shows in the detailing and quality of your workmanship - Kudos to ya. Do you do this as a hobby or as a means to make some extra cash or perhaps maybe a little bit of both???
-
@scrimsmustang Yeah I was showing a mate earlier the transformation. Such a stunning colour. What happened to the DTR to end up where itndid. Did lots of stunning colours.

Both I suppose, I stopped doing it for a while and im stopping again when what I have is finished the last 2 I have done has decided that. Its hard to make money restoring a DTR when average to poor bikes sell for 4 or 500 quid less than a fully restored bike sells for these days.
-
@scrimsmustang I hear ya, at least you get to enjoy your work and maybe the enjoyment of riding your bikes afterwards too???
-
@ninja Yes sure, I used my Purple DTR a few times during the summer.

@scrimsmustang Fair-weather-biker eh??? LOL :thumbsup_tone2:

@scrimsmustang Last enduro I bought new, KTM250XC 2011 model, rode it 4 times and then took ill early 2012 and had heart bypass in 2013. Took till 2014 to get over it properly. Never used it since its sat in the garage under a sheet I should have sold it back when it was still new. I really miss the moors and off road riding.
