DT200WR restoration project pic heavy

Now the rebuild begins.
New chain guard courtesy of AliExpress£11 not bad
Looks so much nicer in person... Really has that 90s yz feel
Contrast
Whacky colour mix
As she sits now... Going to take my time and enjoy it
-
@Calum probably like Marmite some for people, but I'm daring, it will all make sense when finished.
Thanks, where to? Be good to pull in some newbies
-
@Minia thanks

@Louis-James Interesting and unusual colour choice, looks cool and no doubt when completed all the colours will tie together. Is this going to be a show bike or an occasional rider???
@NINJA hi, yes it will be a show bike of sorts but
on sunny days will get a nice ride
Problems with a 25year old bike is not all parts are available anymore,
Thinking of getting an enduro / laner that can be plastered on mud and dropped and banged hha -

You are right get a second bike to be used and abused and leave the restored classics as eye candy!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :winking_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Had a little play this evening.
Whacked on a few bits.
Ordered up a little bracket that was missing what's needed to mount the rad scoops, could have made something but it was £7 new

Starting to look like a motorbike again. Just perfecting any little bits along the way.

@Louis-James Such a beautiful job.
We really do have some talented members on here!
I'm in love with this build. The attention to detail is just immense.
@Calum thank you Callum. Very much appreciated. You're one to talk with attention to detail
-
Can't stop taking pics, think I love doing this build more than the last one.
Need some more parts from fowlers, chain slide, chain guard, correct mud flap.
Exhaust front pipe needs a few small welds.
Front and rear brakes need tidying up
Side stand switch added,oil pump plumbed up, all wired up.
-

Cleaned up the forks and front wheel and indeed the new fork guards.New swing arm chain guard, chain guide and mudflap installed.
Fairings should be back from then bodywork shop next week.
Handguards installed and controls cleaned up.
