DT200WR restoration project pic heavy

A decent camera probably doesn't hurt neither

With regards to the RE Oil Sender, uhh it's just a switch. It's either on or off, so shouldn't be hard to get working.

@Calum it's only a mobile haha

[Louis-DT-WR]

So some new bits came

Rear wheel before my gf spent 2hrs cleaning

After

This bearing was damaged so pressed it out.. just trying to source a new one

Also cleaned up the fuel tank and wiring loom OCD style.

Probably lost 1kilo of dirt and grease from the bike

@Louis-James The rear wheel looks totally transformed, top job by your misses. What products did she use to achieve those results???

[Calum]

Don't you just love it when goodies come.

It's looking sterlin bud! Top Work.

Mostly elbow grease haha, sprayed in multi purpose spray (wd40 type stuff) left over night then she used a tooth brush and scotch bright+ brake clean and hand polished

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum cheers dude. Yes and more to come... Hopefully tomorrow.

Only thing that might delay this project is that shock bearing + collars... Knowing how everyone always sends the wrong part

[Calum]

@Louis-James Know anyone with a Lathe? Collar wouldn't be hard to make.

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum yes a few people but I will need to do a drawing.. they don't like doing free hand jobs and programming for a small quantity isn't what they want

[Louis-DT-WR]

Without this seal , you might as well not have an air filter. So I made a new one

New twin air filter on the way..

I literally spent a hour cleaning bolts an fitting... But it has to be done

Even though the seat cover was in good condition, I wanted baby blue + Yamaha logo

One of my least favourite jobs... 2hrs of tweeking..
I will let it shape over the weekend and then give it a final stretch.

I like the red to match the forms and purpose to match the frame.. the graphics are blue and purple so the seat will make sense.

[Louis-DT-WR]

Shock absorber came up nicely (no paint ) might consider re painting spring

[Calum]

Wow, those handlebars are gorgeous!

Might not be a bad shout to get the shock repainted, either to that original pink, or to adhere to your scheme.

Looking sweet.

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum glad I choose red .. cheers, shock is in very good condition for age, the soft-hard adjusters work with ease. I'll keep it pink

[Minia]

Good looking parts there!

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Minia even more Gucci bits here..

Very pleased with the quality of the graphics. Full set but not shown in picture.

Sorted out the shocks top bearing now.

Blanked of carb warmer outlets on cylinder head.

New clear hoses came.

[Louis-DT-WR]

And this arrived.

[Calum]

@Louis-James Oh wow, be almost criminal to use that!!!
