Got the original paint on the frame scanned, problem solved and another DT going to be saved

Lol are you near Nottingham?

@scrimsmustang The other thing is, there is no guarantee it wouldn't need work. And then there goes your profit margin.

I've yet to see a rotax engine that hasn't suffered damage...

The 91 Black DT and the 03 Red CRM are both from France Paul, the 03 Blue DT was from Switzerland. I will get a few pictures of the 91 for you, its completely original from the south of France so its corrosion free.I've replaced all the plastics and decals with all brand new genuine Yamaha parts that i already had put away for years and its turned a lovely bike into a beautiful bike. Its all genuine factory stuff anyway so its still 100% original. Only thing I've not changed is the headlamp cowl, just a new decal on it. Its a full power 3NC model code with 3 wire YPVS servo standard fit in garish 90,s Black Blue and Pink shell suit style ! Luckily if your under 40 you wont know what a shell suit is !

@oldman By the time ive bought clocks wiring switches etc it wont be that cheap, at the moment its a POS in boxes. Ive slung most of it in the skip all the old plastics rusted tank etc, left with frame forks yokes wheels rear shock swinging arm airbox coil cdi and a broken engine. Wouldnt even make an old field bike at the moment lol.

Well almost another year has past and i have finally got this thing on its wheels, been waiting for the really hard to find stuff like a mint un butchered 88 wiring loom like rocking horse poo they are as the 88 DTR uses a separate full power YPVS controller from a TZR, its the only DTR model that does. Genuine Yamaha cable ties mint original black hub wheels with mint original spokes.The hardest of all the bits to find believe it or not the lower fork gaiter clamps that are also 88 model only, Yamaha done away with them 89 onward. Well should be ready for an mot by the end of the week hopefully. Will stick some pics up then as now its just a rolling chassis covered in grubby oily fingerprints.

I always loved the old school Camero's, them and the Pontiac Firebird are my dream yank muscle cars of all-time. 🙂

@scrimsmustang Just to ad, if anyone does want a frame doing if you have any snapped bolts in the rear were they usually snap get your cobalt drill bits out and drillem out first.

what are the four restrictions?
