Loving the change from what you had before! I hope you picked a good colour for the plastics!

@Calum DUDE!!! You gotta swipe that pink shopping basket off that push bike, that would just look AMAZING on your DT!!!

NOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT LOL ;O)

Looks awesome tho bud and matches your axel stands too, now I wonder where you got the inspiration from??? ;O)

[Calum]

@CYBER-NINJA That's my main mode of transport! You dissing!

@MIGHTMAN ah I am afraid not. Just boring new black plastics. But got a red graphics kit for it though.

Yeah the old wheel colours were just a budget build. Needed the bike daily so it couldn't go off the road. Eventually I maned up and started cycling. Two yesrs without a motor bike is a long time though!

Wicked !

So I've been putting these little beauts together over a few months as it was pretty expensive....for what they are.

These are Acerbis Dual Roads.

I then found a company that made Carbon Fibre Skins to replace the plastic shrouds. Then Acerbis do LED's for the knuckles. The result, £160 later, are some very funky looking hand gaurds.

So on the left is how they look standard:

How they look on the bike:

How they look on:

How they look together:

And they also look wicked once the sun goes down.

The carbon fibre skins were just stunning. Actually suprised someone went to the effort of making those.

Love these sort of hand guards. Made up something similar to go on my DR-Z. Looked good I thought.

@Calum @MIGHTYMAN Very blinkey!!! ;O)

[Calum]

@MIGHTYMAN Yeah they're nice man

[mad73]

very nice touch them

[Calum]

Ahh taking forever to pay for things LMAO.

Contrast Up'd and Vibrance Up'd to bring out the wheels on such a dull day!

It's coming together. I have had this pipe for almost three years now and this is the second time it's been on the bike would you believe.

@Calum Looking damn good Calum and I feel your pain. It's always the 'MUST HAVE' versus 'ACTUALLY NEED' demon that keeps getting me! LOL

And that saddle may be a problem for longer rides!!! ;O)

[Calum]

@CYBER-NINJA I got that. Just most needs to come off again to continue workong on iti

[Biker_123]

The bikes looking great @Calum! Nice colour scheme looking forward to seeing it finished, what other work do you have left to do to the bike?

[Calum]

@Biker_123 Cheers mate.

Yeah still lots to do. New front disc which is 150 quid alone. Wiring sorted out. Resistors for the indicators and alarm wired in. Coolant hoses and oil hoses. Rear needs building just waiting on some parts from ghe coaters. And then brakes bleeding. Needs a new chain and links taken out.

Yeah there is still plenty to do. I want to put an ASV clutch lever on but need to get one that fits.

[Mightyman]

Looking so good! Always loved the red and black combination on the DTX / DTRE.

[Calum]

@MIGHTYMAN Yeah man, I like Red anyway, I personally would have loved a 1989 Red and White DT like Seiki's as that is what got me into DT's. I got this cause it was cheap and a mint. Maybe one day in the future I will get myself one.

Nathlad had a sweet dt back in the day. I think he had the same graphics, might have been where the inspiration came from.
