Right, im gonna try and stubby my End can. :D already taken the end cap off and drilled out the rivets... just too cut it and drill more holes then put back together. :P should all be ok hopefully... got my expanny off too give it a good respray with BBQ paint and cleaned up my knobblys. will have lots of pics too follow shortly. :)

bkray · DTR Senior Member

Managed too clean up my Old knobbly's a bit. nothing too amazing but they arnt looking as bad as they used too... just gotta wait to do the forks next.

Heres a piccy of the knobbly's. still got a bit of the hub to do but they do look better :)

Onto the stubbied DEP.

So here is what it looked like after coming off the bike.

Nothing amazing obviously. it was pretty dirty so gave it a quick clean.
After that, drilled the rivets out, took the little end cap bit off and took all the wadding and inner pipe out.

Then i got too work with the hacksaw

I cut it too my desired length, as straight as i could and got too work with the file. :) had to cut the inner tube bit down aswell which was trial and error but seemed ok. and also just cut the wadding with scissors.

Theres a piccy of the end result. Now all ive got too do it polish it up with the autosol and get it on the bike...

Ill get piccys of it on the bike soon. :) Still waiting on the Full rebuild at the minute though.

NOTE: If anybody wants to get thier DEP end can stubbied. Just get bradders to do it.
For the time and effort it took to do it, Its not worth it. also, Its not even polished yet. since taking the pictures, i have polished but its taking a very long time.

Seiki · Admin

Hmm that sucks, are you taking it apart again?

bkray · DTR Senior Member

Well, letting the garage do it all as they wont charge. But if they dont sort it. A day with the haynes manual will porbably have to do. Engine might have too come out again though. :O

bkray · DTR Senior Member

Just wait till i get a big number 7 on my side panel ;) nah, but i have got the fork socks just come today, hopefully get them on tomorrow. did you just drop your forks off? My MX stand dont put it high enough too take the forks off. :O

bkray · DTR Senior Member

And my pictures only seem to work after you post on this thread. >.>

SUPERSTEVE · Guru

Annoying but yeah, Gotta drop the forks out to fit them.

bkray · DTR Senior Member

Ah, That makes things a little more difficult. i dont think my brake cable gives me enough room too drop my forks out. :O we'll just see eh.

jakeDT125 · DTR Senior Member

you need to remove the calliper

bkray · DTR Senior Member

I removed the cable cause i had to bleed my break anyway, (thankful to know i put it back on, bled them and they wok fine now) but, i couldnt get my forks off... undone all my yokes and they wouldnt slide out. :O no matter what i done.

I do like numbers on bikes as it looks more motocross looking, I done my forks the long way round................take wheel off then forks, put socks on thennnnnnnnnnnnnnn put the wheel back on the forks and set it to TORGUE SETTINGS then put forks back in, yes I know your probably wondering why the hell have I done it this way round and not forks on frame then front wheel on...........its cos if you put the front wheel back on the forks which are on the bike, you can tighten the wheel so hard, it will end up snapping the little tab on the hub............How do I know this, yep I have done it :-S if the little tab snaps you wont have a speedo, yes its a pain in the ass to sort out, whats suppose to be a simple jobs turns nasty, hope this makes sense mate

bkray · DTR Senior Member

lol. ah, thats so much hassle. :( i dont need that little tab cause i got a trailtech? this is gonna be a day job i can tell. :L

bkray · DTR Senior Member

Ok, heres my MX stand and site stickers ;) also some piccys to show you how its going. :D

bkray · DTR Senior Member

Energized · DTR Legend

Thats right mate you wont need to tab, BUTTTTTTT if you sell the wheels in the near future mate, they will need that tab bit for the speedo

tripr · Guru

are those indicators any good what brands are hardy i tried a few sets in the past but found they always broke or let in damp the dt original ones are the best lasting ones iv come across so far

bkray · DTR Senior Member

Erm, well i havnt had a single problem with them. lasted quite a while. cant be seen too great though.
