Project I can't leave things alone!
-
It's back!!! The wheel is finally back!!
So this is a 19" yz excel rim on a dt125r hub.
Fits nice even with the wheel pushed althe way towards the engine there's still clearance.
@gareth_iowc Looks factory fitted, nice job dude!!!
-
So the project isn't dead I've just been extremely busy with work.
Finally found a twin rad setup that works - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252198042402
The bike is currently at the machine shop getting the engine brackets and radiator brackets made up.
And this arrived today
-
I was very happy with them when they arrived. Just needed to get some brackets made to fit nicely.
-
So this turned up today
-
Hi all,
So.....
The project isn't dead but I still don't have it back from the machine shop. It's only been 4 months for a couple of brackets
I'm going to get a bit pissed with the guy soon!!But these came today

@gareth_iowc I can only accept images of a certain size since I only have a limited bandwidth.
Either resize the images, or upload it directly yourself to Imgur. And embed

I love all these projects but fitting a lighting coil stator and lights then road registering an actual YZ125 would be easier ?
@scrimsmustang Sometimes it's just a question of funds, or more importantly lack of.

@calum Yes it but i think u can get a decent YZ125 for the same as a DTR these days Cal, mind you I guess its fun modifying them and having it how you want it. YZ front end with DTR shock will stiff front rubbish soft as rear end a stiffer DTX rear shock would be better and easy to fit no mods. 18 inch WR250/450 etc enduro rear excel rim would offer a better tyre choice rather than a 19 YZ motox rim also WR250/450 front wheel has a cable speedo drive unlike the YZ not a criticism just would be the same but easier.

@scrimsmustang Yeah I know what you're saying.
There are a variety of reasons why one might do it. I know for one thing that at this point in time it's a sentimental attachment to my RE which would mean I'd never get rid of it. Which is silly cause it's a bit of a Only Fools & Horses "Trigger Broom" moment, other than the frame, swingarm, engine and shock, nothing on my bike is original original. So it's effectively a completely different bike.
Despite that, I could never get rid of it.

@scrimsmustang Also, I bet you still got your TDR250

Whora hijack!! Haha
@scrimsmustang just bolting a light to a yz isn't fun. It's all about building something your way that no one else has.
I'm not some one that can just buy and sell bikes I get attached to them. I've had my dt 9 years and it changes with me. No other dt would ever feel the same. Its like having a child and watching it grow.
@Calum ah ok thanks annoying. Has it changed? I used to upload from my phone before.

@gareth_iowc Have you changed the resolution of your camera. Yeah maybe, the forum had a massive outage recent where the HDD failed (probably right after 3 years of solid abuse).
-
I don't think so... I've got an Apple ishit and it's stayed the same as far as I'm aware. I'll upload them to the mac and try again
-
Right lets try again...
so these turned up yesterday
had the headlight cowling a while but i finally ordered the others.
all brand new and genuine.
i haven't ordered the front mud guard yet as i think i might use the more sporty looking yz one.
