DT200WR restoration project pic heavy

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

[Louis-DT-WR]

@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.

I would have to agree, but hey each to their own and she stills looks mint!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@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.

[NINJA]

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

[Louis-DT-WR]

So I had to keep playing out of OCD and curiosity
Minor details but here they are.

Adjusted the rack lower so it looks not so ott
Before above
After below

New fender tool bag

Yes that is looking so smart!

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum thanks cal, got a few other bits done.

Only really posting it to complete my thread

Got a cheap plastic 4BF tank that I cleaned up...

Decided to jet and fit my standard carb to oe spec then rejetted accordingly

Much more tidy!

[Louis-DT-WR]

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

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.

This has come such a long way since when you bought it. Just looking at page one. And you've done it in such a short space of time. Is a fair ol achievement yo yourself!!!

[Louis-DT-WR]

@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.

[Calum]

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