NICE!
I hope they washed the frame well after the Dip.
Had such a headache with residual acid continuing to convert rust through and under welded sections.

I'm not in a rush altho i have pretty much everything to build it I'd just rather do it properly first time round

Is the WR swingarm longer than the DTR one as it looks longer?
Btw All Balls sell a complete overhaul kit for the WR via ebay for approx £60 which must be cheaper than Yamaha.
