DT200WR restoration project pic heavy

[Calum]

@Louis-James I don't know what it is with me lately, maybe it's this bike, but I've been going through a bit of a pink patch. It's slowly becoming my favourite colour, and this bike isn't helping haha!

Looking grand.

@Calum I’m suffering from the same problem everyone thinks I’m crazy

[Louis-DT-WR]

Got these babies laced up.

[Calum]

That looks amazing

Stainless spokes?

Loving the pink!

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum kinda want to eat them candy pink .
Yes stainless spokes.
When I get a bit more cash I'll buy some tyres

[Nottsbiker]

Quality looks great - can't say I agree with the colour choice as I'm more of a black with added black kinda guy

Your project is like mine - restricted by cash flow or lack of.....

@Nottsbiker We're all in the same club dude, aka big dreams - shallow pockets!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

[Nottsbiker]

I hear you dude!

This year is getting the DT200WR onto the road (its scruffy) then over the winter doing a SM rebuild. Trouble is I've also got a TDR125 Belgarda I want to make a 200R and my 900 Monster in bits ready to build with lots of carbon and full Maxton suspension.

Next project is going to be a Suzuki SJ with replica Willys Jeep body mounted on top

[Louis-DT-WR]

So I got a pair of brand new continental twinduros for £130 bargain!!

The rear is 150... I know this is way oversized for a 2.15 rear rim... My dt125r with 2.15 rear rim has the exact same tyres but 140 on the rear.

I want it to look whacky since it's a show bike... Has anyone else put this size on.... I'm pretty sure people have put 160s on the standard DTR rims.

The front is 90/90

@Louis-James I know years ago my mate had a silly rear tyre on his bike. All the spokes broke eventually

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum it's only 10mm more than my 125r.
I know they're not the best idea.. but wanted it whacky

[mhbikesnbits]

@Louis-James somthing different I like your thinking

[Louis-DT-WR]

Wheels are on.

Got these tyres very cheap.... Removed from. New KTM.

[mhbikesnbits]

@Louis-James looking mega bud

[Louis-DT-WR]

@mhbikesnbits cheers mate. Been following yours, you've got the same attention to detail

[Walney-Reptiles]

My god that is one nice bike giving me ideas now gurr, very nice job!! were can i get the forks and rear swing-arm from? or better yet what bike are they off?

[mhbikesnbits]

@Louis-James yeah I thought that looking at yours, some good inspiration and motivation for me read through all of your post, looking forward to starting to build mine back up get the engine built so I can drop it in the frame and start building round it

[Calum]

@Louis-James Easily one of the best bikes on this site IMO.
