Is that fluo yellow disc guard original? Looks awesome
Yes its original DT200R one, it should be Blue but cant find one, cant find another Yellow one neither to be honest.

@scrimsmustang I saw the Portuguese bloke sells the fluo plastics which are nice but I think they would only suit the real custom dts not the “normal” looking ones if you know what I mean but that yellow with that blue is a beautiful combo

Yeah its probably my favorate, ive done one before Cal will probably remember it
Turned this
In to this a few years ago

@scrimsmustang man that was rough the yellow completes it in my opinion

@scrimsmustang Now that is what you call a restoration job for-sure. You obviously have a real passion for restoring bikes, which clearly shows in the detailing and quality of your workmanship - Kudos to ya. Do you do this as a hobby or as a means to make some extra cash or perhaps maybe a little bit of both???
-
@scrimsmustang Yeah I was showing a mate earlier the transformation. Such a stunning colour. What happened to the DTR to end up where itndid. Did lots of stunning colours.

Both I suppose, I stopped doing it for a while and im stopping again when what I have is finished the last 2 I have done has decided that. Its hard to make money restoring a DTR when average to poor bikes sell for 4 or 500 quid less than a fully restored bike sells for these days.
-
@scrimsmustang I hear ya, at least you get to enjoy your work and maybe the enjoyment of riding your bikes afterwards too???
-
@scrimsmustang Fair-weather-biker eh??? LOL :thumbsup_tone2:

@scrimsmustang Last enduro I bought new, KTM250XC 2011 model, rode it 4 times and then took ill early 2012 and had heart bypass in 2013. Took till 2014 to get over it properly. Never used it since its sat in the garage under a sheet I should have sold it back when it was still new. I really miss the moors and off road riding.
-
@scrimsmustang Back in 1990 practicing for Redcar beach race trail bike class that was part of the beach race national series back in the day.
Enduro trail bike class race bike 89 DTR also in taken in 1990 in my bedroom when I was still living at my mams, wow it makes you feel old reminiscing lol
-
@scrimsmustang love that rear fender and makes me sad that you have a pretty much new ktm sitting under a sheet
-
@scrimsmustang I'm intrigued how you got that bike in your bedroom? Was it upstairs or downstairs???
-
If I could do that now I wouldn't have to sit in the garage, would have to empty the wardrobes for my tools and the drawers for spare parts, and the yellow pages for a divorce lawyer . Its like a competition prize, keep the bike in the bedroom and get a 1 bed flat.
