            Are you fitting a rack to the red one? Personally I think it fills the gap created by the raised seat / mudguard and looks better than those YZ style replacement mudguards from Portugal.

                Rack picked up from powder coating this afternoon and fitting weekend, exhaust completed as well so that's on the to do list.
                Don't Honda's have wheels either😂

                        I must-have too much free time! Not having my wheels back means I have nothing better to do😉

                            I am lucky in having a man cave to indulge myself, took a lot of years to get it, but still lust after not a double but a triple man cave! Now where's my lottery ticket

                              @oldman it's a strange concept isn't it you get your dream bike but there's always another always something to aspire to for example my dt is beat up its old and a lot doesent work but believe it or not it's one of my dream bikes I've been dreaming of a "full size bike" for a long time since I've only ever owned pitbikes

                                Mine had been stood in a garden for 7 years when I noticed it and did a deal, an absolute shed, cannot explain why but will never sell it. Have a real attachment to it for some reason. If I hadn't taken it am sure it would no longer be in existence, maybe that's why

                                  Just don't ask me what I have spent this time around though, will have to be in a very good mood before I add up the receipts, should mean it's still around for a long time yet.

                                    @oldman it's something that you can call your own truly your own when you have rebuilt a bike/ restored one you truly have the right to say that's your bike

                                        Something so satisfying about building your own bike from the ground up.

                                        My Monster cost me £600 from a mate but once built will be a keeper and tick the big bike box nicely.

                                        Currently awaiting the start of some building work at our house which will include the concrete base for my 4x8 garage. Never had a garage since I left home 23yrs ago so cant wait!

                                        On the subject of keepers I still regret selling my DT-WR so next year's bike will be a WR200 methinks...
