DT200WR restoration project pic heavy

[Louis-DT-WR]

@declan it's the most satif part of a restoration... especially a new colour.. bite the bullet and strip it down

[Louis-DT-WR]

Starting to look like a motorbike again. Just perfecting any little bits along the way.

@Louis-James Such a beautiful job.

We really do have some talented members on here!

I'm in love with this build. The attention to detail is just immense.

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum thank you Callum. Very much appreciated. You're one to talk with attention to detail

[Louis-DT-WR]

Can't stop taking pics, think I love doing this build more than the last one.
Need some more parts from fowlers, chain slide, chain guard, correct mud flap.
Exhaust front pipe needs a few small welds.
Front and rear brakes need tidying up

Side stand switch added,oil pump plumbed up, all wired up.

[Louis-DT-WR]

Some new bits came,
Cleaned up the forks and front wheel and indeed the new fork guards.

New swing arm chain guard, chain guide and mudflap installed.

Fairings should be back from then bodywork shop next week.

Handguards installed and controls cleaned up.

@Louis-James Nice job and boy that kickstand looks MAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

[Louis-DT-WR]

@NINJA I know, strange hahaha but better than DT stand I think

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Louis-James anyone know much about fitting a battery? I just want to do a lights and PV test.. I think you can connect it to the loom r/s of flywheel

[DTR+NSR]

@Louis-James does it have the three white wires coming from the stator? You'd need them and a voltage regulator to convert the output from ac to dc.

[Louis-DT-WR]

@DTR-NSR I'll have another look but it has a voltage regulator already

[Louis-DT-WR]

So hopefully the main part of the project will be done this week.

Got the oil tank all set up nicely.

I had to extend one of the coolant hoses as was way too short.

This fairing bracket I ordered was no longer available so made one myself.

As you can see the fuel tank is in amazing condition for age.. didn't even powdercoat it..

All the colours are colliding and making a nice 90s mess haha just as I wanted.

The fairings are ready to collect from the body shop

[DTR+NSR]

@Louis-James if its got the voltage reg already I should think it will. Probably have 3 white wires going to the vr and one red. The red is the 12v positive output that would go to the battery.

[Louis-DT-WR]

We'll here we are.... Fairings and graphics.

[Louis-DT-WR]

[Calum]

Yes mate, that's look the tits!

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum cheers Cal. Did you notice the paint has fibre pattern? Just waiting for the indicators before I can put headlight and rear fender on.. then sort the brakes and chain

[NINJA]

@Louis-James She looks lovely dude, where did you get the heat shield stuff from???

[Louis-DT-WR]

@NINJA thanks:) you can get it in eBay, I got 6 fairly large sheets for £12

[Calum]

Yeah that's looking mega mate!
