DT200WR restoration project pic heavy

[declan]

@Louis-James they look crap on the photo but in real life on your pic they look beautiful lol Ali confuses me too much to order anything

[Louis-DT-WR]

So , the silver parts were ready and the exhaust expansion was blasted..
I may upgrade to a FMF system or dep. And sell this exhaust.

Started prepping bits for assembly. Tapping holes etc.

[Louis-DT-WR]

As suspected not all wires on the new clocks were correct.

New clocks had a blank where the oil light is and a completely fake temperature light..

So I transfer all original loom onto the new clocks and drilled a hole for the temp light and put a long bulb holder in to hold the bulb close to the "red" window

New temp light

Brand new fully functional clocks at a fraction of YAMAHA cost:

@Louis-James All nice and shiny, which finish is it on those silver parts???

[Louis-DT-WR]

@NINJA I'm not sure , I just asked for a semi gloss silver powdercoat

[Calum]

Looking pucker mate.

Definitely making me itch for another project! Although no way I can afford to do this at the pace you're doing it at!

What ya do, rob a bank?

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum cheers Val. And tbh parts I have spent less than £200, powdercoating Inc sandblasting and special paint colour £180

OK Cool I wasn't sure if it was powdercoat or anodising???

[Louis-DT-WR]

@NINJA oh it's all powder

[Louis-DT-WR]

Now the rebuild begins.

New chain guard courtesy of AliExpress£11 not bad

Looks so much nicer in person... Really has that 90s yz feel

Contrast

Whacky colour mix

As she sits now... Going to take my time and enjoy it

[Calum]

@Louis-James Oh wow, that colour.

I'm going to have to share this!

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum probably like Marmite some for people, but I'm daring, it will all make sense when finished.

Thanks, where to? Be good to pull in some newbies

[Minia]

Looking good

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Minia thanks

[Calum]

@Louis-James I just forwarded the images to a friend of mine. He'll appreciate it.

[declan]

That colour is fantastic

[NINJA]

@Louis-James Interesting and unusual colour choice, looks cool and no doubt when completed all the colours will tie together. Is this going to be a show bike or an occasional rider???

[Louis-DT-WR]

@NINJA hi, yes it will be a show bike of sorts but
on sunny days will get a nice ride
Problems with a 25year old bike is not all parts are available anymore,
Thinking of getting an enduro / laner that can be plastered on mud and dropped and banged hha

[NINJA]

@Louis-James Once restored it will be too good to be thrashed around and in reality using her in that way makes all this effort seem pointless really. You are right get a second bike to be used and abused and leave the restored classics as eye candy!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :winking_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

[Louis-DT-WR]

Had a little play this evening.

Whacked on a few bits.

Ordered up a little bracket that was missing what's needed to mount the rad scoops, could have made something but it was £7 new
