@declan Looking good bro!!!

[Darty]

@declan This is truly magnificent, a stunning example! Very OEM+

[declan]

@Darty its a nos bike found it in a crate outside a old yamaha factory

[Calum]

Ptsch, they were shite OEM anyway. Best throw away most the bits and upgrade it all to your preference. Which is exactly what you're doing

[declan]

@Calum exactly lol

[Darty]

@declan I’m having a laugh bud, good to see it up together!

[declan]

@Darty thank you

@declan Nice job bro.

[DTR+NSR]

That looks very smart liking the gold wheels very xt500.

[declan]

@DTR-NSR that’s what I was going for that old dull gold not the best but everything I’ve done is better than it was and it’s now a semi respectable bike that isn’t rusty or broken everywhere you look

[Calum]

@declan Keep at it mate!

Another DTR saved from scrapyard heaven!!!

I wasn't happy with the way the bike turned out the black engine turned hideous when fuel touched it and the gold frame was just a bit too much so now the frame is satin black as are the rims and I've been working on the engine it's not finished yet but I'm happy with the over all look, it needed mains and seals so it seemed the perfect time to paint it up also have a stainless bolt kit coming for the engine. It does need new rings but I'll get them at a later date, also got v force reeds on there

@declan I quite like the blue barrel and head. Can I pick your brains on the wheels please? I plan on doing my wheels satin black. Have you got any tips for Which primer to help the paint adhere to the standard (chrome?) Rims please? Also which paint and lacquer please? I've considered powder coating but I believe I'd have to strip and rebuild the wheels

@declan Yamaha blue, nice job there bud!!!
