    Mines black but looks like it's been used for target practice by some hillbillies so mines probably getting junked.

    Looking at ebay europe at mo so will probably collect a full set over the winter from various different countries as just as cost effective as buying random panels here and having painted.

    Out in the sunshine today sanding the rust off my frame before treating it then storing until I can afford the rebuild. Got my airbox apart as well for cleaning and randomly someone's cut a bloody hole in the battery tray - wtf for i don't know.

      The K reg TDR125R belgarda is now a White n Pink DTR after a bit of modding to the frame it was a 3XE2 model, the wheels brakes forks and swinging arm are now on a 2001 DTR Hurricane Hanna replica

      This is the type we decked, bike was identical only wheels fork and swinging arm were painted black

          If I wanted the 3 spoke alloys I'd fit the same as in your pictures but mine are the first model spoked wheels and I quite like them. Unfortunately Yamaha back in the late 80's went with an 18 inch front rim which limits tyre choice so I'm probably going to have another rim laced onto my front hub as my wheels are ready to be done now. The standard rims are aluminium so it would be a good match to put a rear on the front hub.

          The swingarm on the later ones also suits the alloy wheels nicely but I can't make out if its steel or ally?

            @nottsbiker I believe it's steel.

                  I used the TDR swinging arm as it made the life easy for the wheels, its designed for the alloy wheels and rear brake,the chain tensioners etc and bolts straight to the DT frame.

                          Hi. I am looking for new fork seals and steering bearings for my 1990 belgarda. Do you know if it is the same as DT?

                            @tdrnoob Biggest clue is going to be in the part numbers.

                            However, if this were me, I'd grab my vernier calipers and simply measure it.

                            Then head over to simplybearings.co.uk and just buy Koyo bearings as a replacement. Cheap and easy job.

                                Steering bearings probably yes. Fork seals no idea as DTR are possibly Kayaba and TDR are Paoli so might be different even though the stancions are the same diameter.

                                    I'm tempted with YZ/WR forks with a supermoto calliper spacer to run the stock Brembo disc maybe with a matching Brembo goldline calliper as the TDR disc is exactly the same as my 900 Monster

                                      Meant to add that my original calliper was glued on with one of the mounts, so god only knows how it 'passed' its last MOT.

                                      This will teach me not to bid on ebay late at night with the old "I'll never win that...."

                                          Think yours was safer...

                                          Had forgotten what buying a total nail was like. This bike is reminding me everytime I go near it.
