Another Returnee
-
Hi mate, refresh us what you had before, I remember your name. I was (the only way is YAMAHA DTR)
-
Sorry for going cold, the next day i had a closer look at the transplant and wasn't happy with the quality of the welding (photos will follow) and kind of lost interest, and just chucked it in the back of my lock up. A few months ago i brought another DT minus an engine that had sat outside for a while (again photos will follow). Then...last Sunday i brought another DT project from the Copdock Motorbike Show, not in a great state but it has an engine at least, and a few other nice parts (yep..photos blah blah). I'm hoping to build at least one decent one out of all of the parts that i have accumulated. I will start a build thread soon..
@Louis-James i have changed my profile pic to my old bike. I will upload some more once i have remembered my log in details for photobucket...lol

I'm not sure what i am going to do with this one yet, it came with the rest of the yz minus the frame, so it might find a frame and rebuild the yz. Either that or i'm thinking of using the front end on one of my unadulterated frames as the DT stem has already has already been pressed into the yz yokes, and the ignition has already been welded in place.
Here's a few more pics..

http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt32/fused420/Mobile Uploads/20161003_142629.jpgAnother problem with it is that it sits very high, i'm 5,11 and i have to stand in tiptoes on it. All in all i think this one would involve to much work. I have just sent off for the v5 for the red one in the background, so as long as it comes back with no problems, that'll be my project bike, as it's frame is in the best condition out of the three that i have.
I will start a project thread soon..
