      @Louis-James I still can't believe how good those wheels scrubbed up or have you resprayed them when you rebuilt them???

        @NINJA the wheels that came installed scrubbed up amazingly.

        The bike came with a spare set and I had a set laced after I powdercoated the hubs and rims with stainless spokes

          Still a great looking bike, kind of prefer it without the luggage wrack and headlamp grill but still looks fantastic. Great job.

              @NINJA I know what you mean.... Especially if you prefer the MX look... but it's basically to match with my other DT.
              Such quick and easy parts to remove if I wanted to and refit whenever.

                @Louis-James True but for a show/collectors bike it's not a problem really. 😉

                        Since the 4bf tank Didnt have a locking cap I bought an acerbis one

                        alt text
                        alt text

                        I need to make a bracket to fit this tank as the 4bf has an additional bracket.

                        Left the other tank on for now when I was jetting.

                              @Calum thanks again mate.
                              I made the mistake with my other DT of doing it and redoing it a few times.

                              This one I thought it through to do most in a logical order.
                              Ironically this was better condition that my 125r when I bought that....it was only 6 years old.
                              This is 26yrs old.

                                Joys of owning a bike owned by 12 year olds compared to mature owners 🤣
