1988 bike

Nah, there's only one scrim. Last time I spoke to him some scrote has nicked his red side panels parked up at a bike night. Cant even leave your bikes parked now. He did a blue one a while back but think he sold it on.

@oldman These any good to ya bro???
Thanks for that but still not as original fitment, closer than I have now though. When the left hand graphic (genuine Yamaha) gets delivered I'll get both left and right copied along with correct white on black DT graphics. A bit OCD maybe?

Wish Yamaha would let me bring one of these in,,didn't know they were still in production. -
Have my wheels back at last, powdercoaters took ages and missed inner hub areas. Misunderstood my instructions to not coat bearing surfaces for disc and sprocket, rather than wait another 5 weeks took them and sprayed with black enamel paint. Local bike mechanic rebuilt wheels including new rims £150 cheaper than Central Wheels without new rims. Really pleased with the result, hopefully fit this weekend. Waiting for decals back from reproduction then it's the end???

Not far away now, waiting for rear disc to arrive. Have to decide what I am doing to do with it then. I'll pop some pics up when its complete (sort of) . Considering putting it up for display somewhere if its wanted. Meanwhile picked up a pw80 for grandson as he has outgrown the pw50, so that's to be gone through when I get it out of the van. Selling the 50 should pay for the new one hopefully.

The bike has come out really well, very pleased with it. Wont be selling it (sorry Calum!) but need to decide what to do with it in the new year. There are a few things I want to go back on and improve but nitpicking really. I am thinking of going over the red bike in a refresh to replace nuts and bolts with original fixings. Sold the pw50 in hours, lots of interest as soon as I listed it and paid for the pw80 and a bit more. Last busy day today so will be stripping carb off the 80 in the next few days to get that running properly for grandson. Hoping to get started on the tdr250 next, just repairs (fork seals, brakes, wheels) ready for the spring.

Oh yes lovely.
@scrimsmustang Really approves of the TDR250.

Yeah that's lovely.
I think it's one of my favourite colour schemes for the DT. A really nice colour. Looks fabulous in the sunshine.
