Heya guys, i've finally got round to purchasing a DT sumo that i've always wanted for years!!! I owe it all to Carl so once again...again, CHEERS CARL!!! I can't wait to ride her properly, i'm going to be doing some shopping in the next few days to finish the look and get myself some insurance and sexah sumo gear! I took a few pics to show you guys, enjoy!
You read my mind Nath lol, i'm going to be doing a Seiki with the seat. I much prefer the material on the new lining instead of the stock seat, kinda like my old bikes seat...Just hope it turns out as good as Seiki's seat
LIST OF TO-DO'S!:
*New handle bar grips
*Pro Taper bar grip
*Red rim tape
*White Polisport headlight with Xenon bulbs
*Re-line seat with red/black material from car uphoulstry, which colour you guys thinkin?!
Red seat would look good, I had a red OEM cover but didnt use it. It looked good on a mock up and would match your frame. Gotta be brave though as it's a leary colour .
Yeah Seiki, i was debating this with my dad I recon if I can find a decent material/shade from the place i'm going in a few days it'll look spanking! fingers crossed
Ah m8 congrats on ur new bike I thought ur avatar pic looked different lol!! , and Carl I bet that was hard to hand over such a stunning bike, I feel for u man : ( hope u stay wiv us tho dude : )
Energized I'm lovin the swing arm grafix ; ) looks well smart Id live to buy a bike that's had all the ****ty dirty hard work done already so I can jus add a few bits here n there lol! Also that front brake tell us more...wat is that caliper and mount from???
Ah.... Jus seen ur bars aswell m8 they look standard.. Tht thing I said bout the handgaurds on standard bars lol u might av trouble but I don't know for def , maybe somone can shed light on this for ya , u should get a nice set of rentals like toy mans ones they looks the mutts nuts on ur bike m8 ; )
Its a full DTX conversion bradders mate, includes 320mm disc and twin piston brembo.
Corse it is lmao soz tht was a pure noobie question lol! I havnt paid much attention to the dtx tbh jus looks like a cutom bracket and a YZ caliper lol
I wanna have a sumo set up for mine but I'm not sure what front wheel to use for my YZ usd's?? Hope they do a bracket to extend my caliper instead of a whole new front brake to go with the bigger disc : /
bradders just get some road tyres and a spear set of wheels thats what im gunna do and id get some red renthals tbh i dont really like fat bars lol and the renthals look awesome and i got them secondhand but still wraped up neaver used for £25 so cant complain lol
Cheers guys, yeah Bradders lol I was hinting towards making Carl get another DT i really hope he does, hes gonna still be active here, i had to ask that before buying!
The stopping power is fudging immense!!! one little blip on the front break and your stopped DEAD! the twin piston brembo is godlike and the mount is custom made to fit! Carl made a template and got one made up specially, not sure if the setup is from a dtx tho looks bigger :o!
Yeah i'm defo gonna get a set of Renthals in the sexiest red i can find before getting the red/white acerbis full guards! going to try find a mint condition switch block aswell for the leftside bar with the horn/high beam etc, are they hard to come by?
P.S I'm LOVING the Vapour full dash, it's a godsend...i'm fed up of maual clocks like my old derbi had i love the high spec digitals and at night it all lights up blue and looks sick as f00k! i think the gear change/over rev lights flashing are pretty wicked sick aswell lol
@ toyman I did think bout tht but I can't stand stock dtr wheels with road tyre I don't like how it looks atall, I rather have the mission n find one for the YZ , forks , hopfully Dave will sell me his spare rear dtx wheel which will be a straight swap I'd much rather have a proper sumo setup n have the awesome stopping power n handling ; ) oh and fatbars are rentals m8 lol!
@energized I'm jelous man wanna swap? Lol!!! Jus think YZ forks and a nissin twin pot ooh yeea lmao!!
@ bradders lol my bad but i still dont like em it looks week and stange they have to have a brace across them lol and for the front u might wanna get a yz hub and get it laced in excell rims will probly be easyer and i dought ull find a supermoto yz rim with the right hub lol
@energized can u make a video of the vapours on the bike mabey reving it aswell im going to get some but havent really seen what it looks like on the dt cheers
Lol they are way stronger than standard renthals even without the brace, the next step up is renthal twinwalls, same as fatbars but with a brace £85 though!!
Hellz yeah dude, my bodyclock is f00ked like most teenagers :L I usually go bed between 1-5 when i'm in hardcore mode luckily/unluckily for me in the morning my dad is getting me up for the first time evah, as my alarm is broken -.- should be fun lmao.
same hear mate i cant sleep till like 3 or 4 am then i wake up at like 3 or 4 pm to find out i missed the post and i have to wait 4 days till all the bank holidays are over to go pick my goggles and dt parts up haha its fun
Lmao yep, had many moments like that in the past! ah well just hope everything goes to plan tmoz and i get my bike insured asap gonna be ordering everything off the net tmoz and applying some rim tape/new hand grips/bar grip/shopping for sumo gear pref alpinestars, road boots 'n skinny power ranger gloves which i love :) gonna get 2 piece leathers aswell ALL tmoz hopefully.....then think about a new helmet was thinking of sgt syph's helm seen some reviews and i love how unique it is but ive seen alot of full face tinted sm helms but they're pricey as f00k!
