Fairings and plastics
When I bought this bike the fairings were all scuffed so I replaced all them and the graphics (dd graphics)
New cowling
New front fender
New rear fender
New rear side panels
apart from the rad scoops as they are very pricey.
(I don't like the Portuguese shape ones)I've just recently bit the bullet and bought these: (I like the original graphics to match my fuel tank)
I will add mesh

And now this thread is up to present date. I am making a few changes, removing lots of stickers, tidying up, rewiring and the new wheels to go on when I have time.
Can't wait to have these on
Wheel spec:
Hubs powdercoated in gloss metal gold.
Rear rim width upgraded to 2.15
Silver alloy rims
Stainless steel spokes and nipples
Fitted with Continental Twinduro TKC 80 tyres with 140 on the rear!! Yes it will fit!
I didn't want something too much MX style but a perfect trailbike tyre (mostly for appearance because it is a DTR

Grips on.
Just bought a luggage rack, will be powdercoated in white to match my frame. Also re-fitting my front brake disc guard afters it's painted in blue.
I want to make this look more the original trail bike it was by fitting these original parts

No idea why you ask?
I personally would rather a used one, or rebuild my own than a chinese pattern...

And the caliper looks identical, it's cheaper than a rebuild kit

To do list:
Powdercoat luggage rack in white.
Fit new rad scoops (I will do this last to avoid scratches)
Fit skid plate / sump guard once powdercoated
Paint front brake disc guard blue and fit
Fit 17t front sprocket
Fit new wheel!! When I get new center spacers.
Fit stiffer clutch springs, (I think it was slightly slipping with all the extra power)
Also be fitting these once powdercoated in blue, (need to modify because the Kickstart hits)

Yeah maybe. It's not the assembly that's the problem. It's the quality of metals used.
I personally would rather have mine rebuilt then.I know to my mind they are sound. But I suppose it makes no odds either way.

Just prepped and primed this, why is it so large?
An xt600 one fits closer to the disc

Got this back from powdercoateding, I won't fit it until the wheels are on, gets in the way for jacking up.If you're fitting frame guards you need to tap the swingarm pivot bolt to M8 like shown.
Also here's my granny rack

Yeah I have made one for mine. But I rolled the pan so that it follows the contours of the frame. Frame gaurds are nice.
