Looked a bit like mine when I bought it

My exhaust didn't line up at all either, melted a bit of the plastics too...

If you want to get bulk bolts just go on ebay and search dt 125 bolts there are quite a few sets - note the cheaper ones don't include every single bolts just loads of commonly used ones you will need to buy quite a few sets if you want to do the whole bike.

 Cheers buddy, I just really want to make sure all the visible bolts are of the same type. Nothing worse than bolts that are seen looking mismatched and ****. I'm off to the beach this weekend and then rest day Sunday so will tackle it then. Thanks :)

You sure the forks are bent? maybe theyre just twisted, if you get the wheel between your legs the turn the hadlebars sometimes you can get them back straight again.

So since getting the bike I've had a long list of annoying things wrong with the bike apart from it running and riding perfectly. First problem was smashing into the back of a Megane with no brake lights. Equaled in bent forks, broken wrist, cracked ribs, smashed thumb bones and a bent bike. Managed to fix it with the help of Turbotom and some spares.

2 months later I spin out on a freshly tarmacced corner and dent the tank and pulll a ligament in my knee.. During this time all the random bolts were snapped, **** was falling off and the bike was just generally pissing me off. Since then it's had 2 head gaskets and the exhaust has filled with water more times than I care to remember.

Now, as of Today it will be supermoto'd, looking sick and running like a dream 'cos I'm fed up of my brother and his ****ty little 4 stroke mates scooters always going out and having fun and generally mentioning my bike ain't running, by the end of the month I will have it running, riding and maybe, maybe looking sweet.

The donor Bike ^^ It's got some nice matt/satin looking levers I'm gonna steal, oh and the wheels.

The difference in size between the Supermoto front spindle and my front spindle..

 

I'm either going to relace the rims with my dt hubs to save time and effort changing wheels over, or find a place that will sort me out a front spindle good enough to use the original wheels as they are, bar the rear one 'cos the bearing carrier is smashed to pieces.

 

and the new plate! Ha

I replaced them back in may I think so!

Its fully legal according to Demonplates?

did you not manage to get the first set of wheels to fit then m8, iv had a ballcache trying to fit mine

same nightmare as me then iv nearly give up an gone for another set , ended up buying the forks then those not fitting the yokes then made some temp sleeves to make the forks fit the yokes im going to redo in carbon fibre for the finished product.
been a mission an a half now iv got another big mission working the rear wheel once i get the old broken bearing out of it..
would have probably been easier an cheaper to buy a set that fitted in the first place.

the wr forks an swingarm look pretty similar to the dt , iv been checking them out myself on a 2010 dirtbike version on ebay ,,ill keep an eye on this keep us posted m8 on how easy they are to fit

So the wheels I've got don't fit, not one single little bit.

I was told they would be a straight swap but for some reason, their not. I was thinking maybe their HUSKY WR125 wheels but the advert definitely says Yammy WR125 wheels, 2008 model. Their Excel though so are they even standard? Anyway, pictures.

 

Went to the Yamaha place and we found that their from an xt660 or very likely. It's the only Yamaha that comes with a Cush drive, on supermoto rims and excel made lol. :(

Enny loves it doe

hehehhhehehehe

I'd imagine you could, i mean they don't look too dis-similar to the DT's forks/swinger, but it may be best to sell them on to the next dude and grab yourself some others :)
