Are these breeding lol so thats a mild steel one, a stainless one, and a ally one, anybody going to do a brass one?

Looks good and keep going, cant wait till its done.

Calum122 · Guru

Looks nice that does.

NathanH · DTR Senior Member

Cheers. What size bearing did you use Cal. My spacer stands 22mm high when pushed into the headstock, is that similar to yours?

Calum122 · Guru

Yeah that sounds about right. Maybe a little shallower.

NathanH · DTR Senior Member

Sweet.

georgen · DTR Senior Member

20mm and the top bearing was 320/28 but that only if stem size and the inner diameter of your spacer is the same as calum used, if the stem is the same size the bottom bearing I used is a 32006 on a 1994 dtr frame.

Fits perfect so im happy I measured correctly, still enough room for the nut and washer under the yoke and enough thread poking through for the top nut. photo from the top with the inner alignment bush... no need for it but hey.

Also notied I will need to machine a 1.5mm recess in the bottom as the bearing inner doesnt sit flush with the outer case if that makes any sence.

Calum122 · Guru

Aww Nathan why haven't you finished this beast yet? She looks so awesome. You're doing a cracking job!

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

Agreed, looks awesome dude. you getting it road legal, or just a nice little track toy?

NathanH · DTR Senior Member

Cheers guys. Road legal... I may have to buy an engine with numbers to be 100% legit. I didnt think about it when I purchased it :(
I just wanna ride it and enjoy it!

yamahayz125 · DTR Senior Member

no need for engine numbers av been pulled countless times and never once had the engine numbers checked their only bothered about frame numbers and if your good with a set of stamps just stamp your old numbers on it

NathanH · DTR Senior Member

Im thinking about it for insurance purposes. It will have to be declared as having an engine swap as its not an original part. V5 would have to show the engine number too.

yamahayz125 · DTR Senior Member

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

I'm sure if it's a traffic officer they will bend you over backwards and fist the living **** out of you

yamahayz125 · DTR Senior Member

I suppose I could be naughty and just stamp the orignal dt number on the wr engine and claim ignorance if questioned. Last thing I want is ending up having to claim from an accident etc and not getting a pay out/cover etc. On another note, sent the spacer off to be anodised gold, brap.

yamahayz125 · DTR Senior Member

that's all ad do m8 and most factory stamped engine numbers arnt that good any way and you wont be the only 1 that done it theirs 1000s of bikes and cars with none or stamped up frames and engines

NathanH · DTR Senior Member

I think if I can find a cheap engine or even a dead one with numbers Ill use that. Been working on the loom tonight trying to get my head round it. Cant seem to find the.fuel pump plug but everything else is there.

Im a bit pissed off as the gold is a different shade to what I was originaly shown by the anodisers. Its slightly darker than the hubs.

Calum122 · Guru

Haha that's quality!

Mate don't worry about that too much. You really won't see it much once the headlight and tank is all on.

Definitely a quality touch though

NathanH · DTR Senior Member

Finally standing without the aid of some boxes! Ride height set, damper part way back together and head stock assembled.
