Throw back pictures showing previous powdercoating, zinc plating and every bolt replaced with Allen cap head stainless steel bolts

I had to drill out so many bolts and tap the holes because most were seized.

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

[Louis-DT-WR]

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

[Calum]

@Louis-James love the fact you stayed trail though. I love sm's but the world is saturated in really good sm builds so it is so refreshing to read something different.

[Louis-DT-WR]

Today I fitted the mesh to the new rad scoops

Also fitted these

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum thanks again I know exactly what you mean, I like riding high up and proud

[Louis-DT-WR]

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

[Louis-DT-WR]

Is this original front calipers except the carrier?

(from AliExpress Android)

[Calum]

No idea why you ask?

I personally would rather a used one, or rebuild my own than a chinese pattern...

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum most yamaha parts are made in Taiwan or China these days and China has really caught up with quality, I bought my brake discs off AliExpress and they are just as good as the ebc ones I had. And the caliper looks identical, it's cheaper than a rebuild kit

[Louis-DT-WR]

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)

[Louis-DT-WR]

[Calum]

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.

[Louis-DT-WR]

Just prepped and primed this, why is it so large?

An xt600 one fits closer to the disc

[Louis-DT-WR]

Got to have the model logo on display

Toast rack came in the post today, also ordered the frame guards

[Louis-DT-WR]

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

[Calum]

@Louis-James where did you get the sump gaurd from?

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum it's custom made but I know a guy near me making oem copies

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum he's made loads of these with frame guards

[Calum]

@Louis-James Very nice.

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.
