    I'm keeping the stock arm and swapping the wheel hubs over just to keep the project going ATM. I did like the idea of the yz wheel adjustment on the rear as it looks smarter than the dt 1

        Well I have seen quite a few DTRs with YZ250/WR400 swingarms. Doable.

        Custom linkage brackets, fabricated an welded...

        Complete YZ/WR rear end,, new chain/ possibly only a 520.

        A earlier style YZ/WR shock will only just clear the exhaust, and will need a custom spacer just to fit it into frame shock tower!

        This is a proper fabrication job.

        This was the very reason a WR200 swingarm was the ONLY choice for me.

        Keep it real

            Yeah if you wanted to do minimal fabrication then buy a YZ rear end and shock, this would minimise a lot of stuff.

            If I had a garage I would happily make these sorts of bits for people. But I am so tight for storage at the moment it simply is not possible!

                    As said I got all mine off simply bearings no problem. Saved loads of money as well!

                          @Zrako If it's not as you originally envisaged, most of it will be hidden anyways, so it's all good really!!! 😉

                              Shame I have to wait till monday to build it up as I work all weekend now. Still no bearings for swingarm as I need all seals and the needle bearing shafts...😓

                                The wr200 one if I remember rightly is a direct fit with the correct links.

                                Dt200r is also aluminium but not as chunky

                                  Well , building it up slowly and ended up at coolant section so far. Just want to be 100% sure - the hose from radiator that going to expansion tank joins on bottom of tank and the top one is breather hose that ends up under engine? Forgot what way it was before... 😶

                                    @Zrako If you think about it, it's obvious.

                                    If it fed in through the top it would immediately drip out.

                                    So you feed it in through the bottom, if it feeds in too much the overflow at the top will allow it drip out, usually an indication when the head gasket has failed.

                                    So yes, from the radiator to the bottom of the expansion bottle.

                                      Yeah thanks mate. Just wasnt sure if the top one should fit somewhere or just opened under the bike.

                                        Well , bike is like 95% finished. Bearings sorted from wemoto , all new shiny stainless fasteners everywhere. Tried to exchange every possible nut bolt and washer. Just waiting for new chain

                                        link text

                                        First start of the bike , changed the engine oil lines for clear ones too and they are awesome and usefull. My pump needs bled and small coolant leak from top of the head. Hopefully only carb warming screw needs the copper washer 🤔
                                        If you see anything on the video strange and suspicious please let me know 😊.

                                          Well , bike is like 95% finished. Bearings sorted from wemoto , all new shiny stainless fasteners everywhere. Tried to exchange every possible nut bolt and washer. Just waiting for new chain

                                          First start of the bike , changed the engine oil lines for clear ones too and they are awesome and usefull. My pump needs bled and small coolant leak from top of the head. Hopefully only carb warming screw needs the copper washer 🤔
                                          If you see anything on the video strange and suspicious please let me know 😊.
