Clamps for all the hoses on the bike £20
Carb clean + re-jet
S/arm end bolts £1 lol
Mirrors ( not sure i'm going to fit them )

I'm sure i'm forgetting bits but all this will get me a hell of a lot closer than I am . It's just sitting there looking like a big toy !!

Glad the respokes out the way because that was the only thing left that was a lump sum of dough . It's £100 to sort swingarm but its £20 a part , so can do it slowly as i'm seriously low on dosh .

Plastics it makes sense to get them one time , It'll be the ebay guy and that YZ looking rear fender . I know it has gaps etc but i'll make it work . Even if I have to take it to a specialist and get them to make a mould using both fenders as a marker .

Front fender will be the Acerbis SM one from Demon . It's cheaper than the OEM one and suits better than the UFO one .

Pics of the few bits im on about ...




Front Fender ( also like the headlight but it's pricey for me )






The headlight I was going to get , still my favourite but Yamaha have already told me they wont pass it on the MOT . I have to go there when it's done because that's who i've been working with all along . Been very helpful and done quite a few bits for free , the mechanics even know my name lol . They've already stated that they look forward to finishing it off for me and will take care of it . NOT sacrificing all that for a bloody headlight lol , they wont break the law




So this is the one I might end up with , still looks miles better than the OEM lump I had




Handguards , Polisport Integral . same ones weeman had






Also want those tyres ^^^^^^ but it's not a DTX setup I know



Really really want these levers , they look sweet as but cost bloody £100





Was looking at pics of what the bike looked like when new , mainly for how the red seat would look . Ideally I wanted a black seat cover but I think the red seat with SM wheels might be a winner !!

Ive personally not seen 1 DTR of my colours with SM wheels and a red seat , ive seen a few black ones though .







Also never seen this model before but the colour combo is wicked





Anyways I'm about to photoshop this pic and maybe get a closer idea of where I'll be

I think that the black n red DTR is a grey import 200cc version. Headlight looks way better than UK ones do / did.

Finally !!


Got my seat covered and I did it myself , it's dead easy . Took about an hour and that's just because I wanted no ripples . At the rear there's 2 folds but those were unavoidable . I'll see what I can do to sort them out but tbh you cant see them 1 foot back . Also at the rear at a certain angle you can still see where the seat was cut down at the rear . I couldn't care less about that bit though , just glad it's flush and no Yamaha logo .

Anyways I went to a car refurb place and he had loads of material to choose from , all colours . Found this anti-slip vinyl and it's exactly what I was looking for . Anyways £15 a metre and doing it myself , free !!



Here's the stuff , it's like rubber













Halfway through











Done























Here you can see the two folds , as I said I'll try to sort it












Spare






That sorted , hopefully hand-guards next

Perfect! :) Ill need to do the same at some point ive always liked the black seat covers with no Yamaha logo also the reshaped seat looks good.

looks like you went a bike staple crazy there m8 looks nice tho

Got it from the bike shop place down the road man . It was £25 , wasnt in the best of nick , couple scratches etc but was good enough for the job .

Post would be a cnut on it though it's quite heavy


cheers guys , staples were free lol

**** hot work as always... you must over spent near on a grand alone getting those wheels done combined with 2 tyres.....

love your work m8 love lookin at your proect its the first thing i do wen i go on the website lol

cheers mate


the sprocket wont be used , getting the Renthal 520 conversion so just did this one cause it was there

Good!
Would I could help on sites with parts for the dt125r? yamaha original parts or not.
Thanks

Spare seat cover turned up yesterday and tbh the red with logo doesn't look too bad . Wont be using it on this seat though as it's already been cut down . Might get a spare seat and red material though to try it out .

Yup I do too , been staring at it all day . I'll get another seat and use it , or ill get some red material . Either way cant be bad havbing 2 seats :)

Those look good , cheers man , might get them down the road

cheers man , updates soon enough
