Yamaha do a bash plate guy's. I priced one up a while back, it was about £30ish and they look the bomb....

Any bike dealer can order them in for you i think ;)

that L plate fitting is how I have always wanted my L plate makes so much more sense but how did you make it exactly I want to do the same. Where I live the coppers love to dish out fines and points for nothing but I hate having my L plate flapping out the licence plate

wasnt to hard m8 i jus got a strip of stainless steel bout 9 inches or so long put it in a vice and put a 90deg twist in it with swan necks/pipe grips followed by a straight 90deg bend then i got a plate of ally cut it to size i think it was about 4x4in then clamped it to the strip with a pair of mole grips drilled two small holes and riveted it together then i removed the rear brake guard clamped it to the strip the same way as the plate to use it as a template drilled 2 6mm holes and then bolted it behind the guard i done it this way so i can easily remove it wen i go racing and so wen i get my new number plate i dont have unsightly holes drilled in it biggrin

and jak2k50 i think you would hit ur handle bars before urll rip that off m8 lol

craigbulmer · Guru

Haha wouldnt snap off filtering lol.

The rules for L plates are:

The most vertical place on the back of the bike, below the number plate.
Can be cut down, but not the red letter L.

just a small update iv made a new insert for my rear pipe as the old one was corroded and i couldnt get it tight and secure so therefore it rattled a bit...really ****ing annoying!

my m8 is a plumber so he came round n souldered the collars on the end of a bit of copper pipe, then i done the holes job done i just gotta get the burrs out from inside somhow lol

but it fits nice n tight now with no vibration biggrin

According to the DT manual your 3MD goes from 89-90 but it says mines a 90 when it's not lol

I spent half a year buying 90 parts until my sidestand spring gave it all away and realised it was a 89 lol

looks sexy lol u should get a hpires bradders lol and was it hard to do the usd on it iv read people saying how to do it but i just wanna no if it was hard lol

DT-R_bradders · Guru

Cheers dude iv been thinkin bout the hpires fender but I dnt like the idea of seeing the frame out in the open,dunno see wat happens

The conversion wasn't too hard m8 but I had my dad to do the hard bit, getting the mods done to the stem and the fabricating of the collars , if u font know any who can do it for u then ur pretty much fecked coz it may cost a fair bit to get it done for u

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

iv been thinking of doing it but i dunno anyone who can do that kinda stuff lol so god knows how much it will cost to do it lol

DT-R_bradders · Guru

dude if u can get the yokes to me i can get it modded for ya

just a little update on me bike , the otherday i recieved my polisport headlight along with my new oakley goggles n iridium lense

so for the last 2 days iv been messin about with my electrics i had a problem where the charge voltage would just suddenly dropped when i revved the engine, so after some bashin my head on the wall i found that it was was reg rec is nakered so iv got to aquire another one of those, im using one of steves atm jus so i can get the headlight working properly,

heres some pics of my brand new loom cut open because i thought there was another prob with it but turns out it was only the reg rec , was not happy , it was painfull cuting it open like that disbelief

but its all rlativly tidy now but the part up top for headlight ect still needs tidying

so once i got all tht sorted i realised fuel was pissing out the overflow pipe on my carb , i was like ffs!! i really didnt want to take the carb out after a solid night and day working on it , but it had to be done so , pulled the carb out to investigate to find a load of ****e had biult up on the inner surface of the spigot, NOT GOOD!!! so i had a look into the airbox from the carb side n look what i found...

more ****e in the airbox rubber , so i had no choice but to pulle the airbox out n av a proper look, i found that my airbox wasnt sealed up properly atall!!! 2 of the srews wer missing out of the cover ( bit bit behind the very outer cover to remove the filter) , i thought it bogged down a bit after kaning throught the massive puddle at the race which i went through 7 times!!! lol there was loads of muddy water marks all inside the the airbox(after the filter) i thought to myself sod cleaning this by hand theres so many little tight spaces in there i was like sod it n threw it in the dishwasher lol did a good job aswell , oh yea i too kthe float bowl off the carb n found loads of **** in the bottom of that too and the crap must of got caught in the flot needle hence the fuel pissin out , quite lucky it did coz the airbox would of been left unsealed and caused damage to my engine.

also done a check on my 2t oil pump which need adjusting aswell , it couldnt of got anyworse lol .**** in the carb , lack of oil , its just a epic dissater waiting to happen lol!

anyway its all sorted for now

and heres some pics after the work done including a smart little clear pipe from the oil pump to inlet mani , so i can see that theres actually goin in lol
