DTX 125 PRODJECT
-
It didnt help these Spanish built bikes when the frames had next to no paint on them from new. Proper shoddy work leading to snapped bolt city later.
-
@scrimsmustang There is no doubt the Japanese built ones are better, but I didn't find too many issues with my RE.
-
@stinkwheeler i once saw this bike advertised as stolen??
-
-
@tdrgreg2 thats cool buddy the fact you saw it advertised as stolen the more people will recognise it although I'm sure its long gone ......... update just ordered the romeu exhaust today 250 quid will post pics of fitting when it arrives
-
@scrimsmustang @Calum which of the models are japanese and spanish?
-
@bananper any dtre or dtx is made in spain all of the dtr 125s were made in japan i belive
-
@stinkwheeler @Bananper Almost, I'm pretty sure the DTR's were switched over to Spanish in their later lives. 2000 onwards. Scrim would know the actual dates.
-
So heres a small update ... still waiting on my exhaust from romeru guessing it takes a good few weeks to make i cant remember from last time .... but ive just ordered some custom graphics from ebay for 110 quid so hopefully the quality will be reasonable as good reveiws http://imgur.com/gallery/DQ05yRD ... going to order the zeeltronic in a week or too but with my first child on the way in a month so moneys tight ... as soon as thats done its a fatbar conversion on the cards pics to come
-
@stinkwheeler Oh nice, unique graphics.
Fatbar was always dream for me. Worth the investment. Just make sure your cables are long enough.
-
@calum thanks for the heads up mate i didn't think about cable length
-
@stinkwheeler Yeah the wider, higher bars, can result in the throttle cable being too short. It would either need rerouting, or a longer one being made up. Along with everything else.
-
I did want to get the original graphics rather than these but worked out far too expensive and the headlight cowl graphics are now discontinued
-
Verry slow progress at the moment but hopefully will get some more pictures up this tuesday Wednesday.. the graphics turned up and are verry good quality for aftermarket ones ... I've also just purchased a kick start mech for £100 off ebay so will try and get that fitted this week but heres a little teaser http://imgur.com/gallery/pPa2cob
-
So a little later than planned my exhaust just turned up from Portugal http://imgur.com/gallery/lXDtKTq
Looks smart will polish it and get it fitted asap it seems it was sat in the post office for nearly 3 weeks and that it had an attempted delivery but they never left a ticket.... also just managed to get a dtx headlight from fowlers after having to return one as it was so badly packed it was broken when it arrived the second one wasn't packed much better but i can finally start getting it together now -
I also fitted some cheap chinese adjustable levers like an asv replica and there quite good for 15 quid odd to be honest I've had a set on my rs for a while... http://imgur.com/gallery/bJkW6be ...

@stinkwheeler Looking good bud, BTW Royal Mail only holds stuff for 18 days normally, so you got lucky there!!!
