      @ninja All that for a thumper....

      A real passionate person would have dropped the 500 2 stroke lump into there.

          @louis-james You can anodise steel. Iron-Oxide (rust) is a form of anodising.

            @calum I know you can but is doesn't really work well in previous experience, not very durable

              Chrome or nickel plating might be worth looking at

              Current bikes:
              DT125X '07
              Street Triple R '11
              Aprilia ETV1000 '02

              Previous:
              DR650RSE '96
              FJ1200 '92

                Ok so i saw an image of a dt with a chrome swingarm online and twin exhausts a few years back and rang around every chrome plater around here and they wont do frame parts such as frames or swingarms as the preparation is too much and will not do it i did try talking them in to it 😂

                The hills are alive with the sound of ... braaaap baaaaap 😁

                  Hilarious, as I think like 6 months later he just let it rot. Basically, like some of us, he was more interested in the project than the final product.

                  That's probably up there with one of my all time favourite DTR's. It's a bit marmite, but I love the effert.

                    @calum Such a crying shame to do all of that work and then let it just rot away. You'd be better off selling it and using the funds for your next build.
