Going to keep I as original as possible within reason, the original exhaust is long gone unfortunately , has front section unrestricted as good as new, need to replace rear as a grotty old big one there originally. Swingarm seal guard broke when disassembled so that needs replacing, and platers lost swinger thrust cap but Fowlers were good for that. I fitted white pattern bodywork years ago so my son could ride it without me worrying about original panels, need to get the panels and tank out of loft but need replacement r/h side panel if memory serves as original heat damaged. Getting wheèls respoked shortly and replacing bearings and seals as I go, plan to use sparingly to be honest as I am aware not many of this vintage left, but will use it, can't beat the 2 stroke smell can you! Thanks for the welcome and will update as I progress but taking my time to get the right finish

I have all the nos plastics in Red with genuine decals, and nos Red fuel tank still in the box. Although Red is a 1990 model only colour and has a silver frame. 88 3DB1 comes in white n red black n red or sky blue n yellow.

Impossible for an 88 3db1 to be Red from the factory, white frame 88 models are white or blue. Raspberry red bikes are 90 models only.

91 topend, just drops straight on. Upto you how you operate the yz mechanical ypvs i use a fine adjusted 3 wire servo bolted on exhaust side of bike. Modified 91 yz inlet manifold etc etc. All details were on old forum
