that is Mint, what carb are you putting on, v-force reeds?

did you get your fairings from portugal?

---

 

I'll use the original carb with some bigger jets. I bought Boyesen reeds on ebay but they don't fit on the cage. There is a lot of confusion about the parts number here. In USA, they only have the WR200 model for one year but it's often called DT200. Here in canada, we just had the DT200R 89-95 but never the WR200. Yes, I bought all fairings from portugal. It was money well spent, even if the fit is not 100% thou. I found the information here. Also plan to trim the seat foam to match the rear fender.

That looks stunning bud! You've done a really good job with that. I love the colour scheme aswell as the lovely Rims

that looks sexy as hell allready mate haha how common are dt 200's in canada? i wonder how much it would cost to import one

i love these projects haha no waiting around

That's looks real nice, looks like you've spent some money and not cut any corners. Look forward to see the end result.

 I'm sure it will cost more than the selling price, new in 1995 LOL. I don't do this on a budget. I just want a special, unique bike at the end of the project.

really liking this man. proper job, thats crazy with the 2t in the frame like that i know honda xr's have there engine oil in the frame but 2t oil? thts mad lol id like the twin rad setup on mine as im running pre-mix so no need for the empty 2tbottle jus sitin there using valuble space for summink else lol, how much wer thos rims aswell m8 and wer they from canada aswell?

btw i think the rear brake fluid res is sposed to go jus above wer the rear brake switch mounts? its like this on the 125 but not 100% most likey same as the 125 tho

 

edit: ah yea you moved it lol

Glad to see I'm not the only one spending thousands on an old bike.

 Where did you get your spokes from ??

 

---

 I bought the outer rims on ebay. Both 3.50 X 17. I fitted BT-003 120-70-17 front and 140-70-17 rear. There is not enough space for chain guard anymore. The spokes ? Well, I asked here and did a lot of seach on the net but didn't find any answer. I sent the hubs and rims to a specialized company in USA named Buchanan. They made custom spokes to fit. It would have cost less to buy wheels from another model and have them fitted. But I had the hubs powdercoated at the same time, put new bearings in, spokes are stainless and won't rust anymore, so I guess it worth it!

It would be a pleasure to share any information.

We are probably nuts but at least, we are not alone!

Where are you from?

Buchanan is the place I was going to try as soon as I receive my rims, they make custom spokes which is great.

 

You're right Seiki, SS spokes is what I was looking for.

 

I'm from Montreal.

Lmao! Small world eh guys? I think that when you both have your projects finished, you should meet up and get some footage/pics together!

Small world it is, this is very surprising, it took me months to find an half decent 200, they are very rare and mainly are used as dirtbikes = highly destroyed like mine.

 

We'll definitely have to meet once we're finished.

nice solid lever there dude will feel alot better than the stock one as u wont have any play in the end bit that pivots, jus dont drop it on that side! lol

shame they dont do fmf pipes for the 125 deps are made cheep and nasty

everyone does a supermoto conversion , makes the trail version more rare
