DT200WR restoration project pic heavy
-
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

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

@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

Should be here Wednesday -
@dan28 on eBay. Just search glass inline fuel filter
I've got my headlight guard on!
Luggage rack has slight different brackets for the licence plate holder goes compared to the wr200 I've had to make some modifications and get it re powder coated.
also to fit it I've had to put a standard oil tank on it as my one got in the way
-
Finally welded the luggage rack to fit my bike.
Needs to be powdercoated along with my front brake disc guard bracket.
Managed to source a real 4BF seat and cleaned it up, new cover+ added seat strap mounts.
This gives a higher ride.
Always good to keep a seat spare
Genuine Yamaha red front disc guard!
