DT125R ARCHIVE

hi my names mark, iv recently bought a dt 125 r 1998, iv never owned one before though iv always had a few rs aprilia's and such, i think the dt trial type bikes are the best bikes to ride by far especially to view the good old northern irish countryside. since reading through this site i have feel in love with the idea of converting my dt into a SM. my bike is pretty plane atm, the previous owner had a full decal set of skulls crossbones (not to my taste) so i took them off the bike is all black now. my plan was to get the bike airbrushed and kitted out with new decal and a new base coat. though i dont want to rush in and get the standard parts sprayed without experimenting a little with getting some new SM type parts fitted first. i was just wondering if you guys could help me out with telling me some parts to buy perhaps off ebay, im looking through alot of acerbis stuff online (head lights, mud guards and tail tidy's etc.....) but i dont know whats going to be easy to fit or wat parts will look well. i am a technician by job so i have no problem doing a little DIY on my bike as i have done before any many of my cars and bikes. my main issue is fittment i dont wana go and buy alot of gear of ebay and opening up a can of worms as to what will be easily fitted and run into alot of problems. could yous please shed some light and perhaps give me some ideas of what people have previously done and provide me with some part id's or numbers. what i hope to change is the front mud guard, rear tail, head light, hand guards and possibly some rear side panels (i like the look of the DTX side panels). i see some of the acerbis stuff is quite cheap and i like dis so please any help or info is much appreciated. also anyone got any good ideas for a colour/decal scheme.


regards Jordy.
