RE: 1992 4DL2 BELGARDA TZR/DTR PROJECT

NEV · Guru

Hope you lads all had a good xmas and new year, last few months have been ****e for me due to ill health, but hopefully things are now back on track with the project, have ordered a new DEP full system, so I can get the engine started up and set up right, still trying to put together colour schemes for it before I go and buy new plastics and get the tank re-sprayed, have taken some pics of how it is at the minute, not really much done to be honest but still looks pretty much there, with only a few bits and bobs to do to finish it.

Nev how much were you charged to blast and powder coat your frame and swingarm?, I am in the process of stripping mine to get done, two bloody bolts sheared in today alone.

Looking good like and thats a poosh stand.

That's incredible mate. Looks really lovely that does.

I'm sorry to hear about you dude. Although I have wondered.

I really want my frame and swinger powdercoated. Looks awesome.

Also mate how did that engine fit? Did you need any mods or was it a straight fit?

Cheers Georgen and Cal, to get the frame and swingarm powdercoated was £110, £80 for frame and £30 for the swingarm, 1st Choice at Exeter does all my stuff for me, Coastie has used them too in the past, always do a top job too! btw the bike stand was an absolute snip off Ebay it was advertised as an ATV/Harley stand, at £54 quid and £6 postage, they all went like hot cakes too, at that price it's no wonder. And Calum, engine went straight in, only struggle has been the 38mm Keihin carb.

georgen · DTR Senior Member

Cheers Nev, popped into one this morning and he said about £90 as he has not seen it yet so in the right ballpark so to speak, £60 delivered for that stand ffs, im gutted now lol.

Calum122 · Guru

You on the mend nev?

Ah wicked. Mines nearly there now. Just need for Yamaha to finish my bore and then i can get it all sent off for some porting work.

Probably be march is by the time it's together.

AndyYam · Guru

Nev! long time no hear. Have been wondering where you'v gotten to. Sorry to hear about your ill health but what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger. Glad to hear your back on track. The bikes looking great.

Looking forward to see the continued progress!

NEV · Guru

Aye cheers Andy, much better now ta, managed to put on the new full DEP system on the bike couple of days ago, that all fits nicely, I've come across another problem though , because I'm using the 4DL TZR quick throttle, and the Keihin carb, I'm needing a custom made throttle cable, just dropped off the carb and throttle casing over to my chap Brian Loram, so he'll crack on with making one for me this week.

loveing that color looks bloody sexy great job dude

NEV · Guru

Cheers bud, aye it is a nice red that, took the tank in today to get it re-sprayed in just the grey primer for now, as I keep changing my mind on what the plastics and tank colours are going to end up being, the hydrodipping road is pretty much a no goer now as two places have told me , it'll be sort of doable but with all the contours it will look pretty much ****e, due to all the joinings and overlaps so I'm with the idea of either going all red,(plastics and tank) or red tank and graphite grey plastics, or even go with grey carbon graphite vinyl wrapping on tank and plastics. Just don't seem to be able to come up with an idea as yet, I could really do with someone whos pretty handy with photoshop to mock up a few different colour schemes I reckon.

ShaunyBoy · Guru

The guy hydrodipping my plastics has told me to get a good cover and no stretching on the transfer he is gonna cover parts, so my tank and rad scoops will have tuning forks and stripes of plain colour and dipped pattern. Mine are being done next month..... Will send ya pics when it's done

NEV · Guru

Tell ya what Shauny, that red carbon fibre look, really does do it for me, aye get some pics up when yours gets done.

AndyYam · Guru

I reckon the tank and rad panels have gotta be the same colour. It's such a straight line that i can see it looking out of place. Red and black is a nice combo usually. have a mess about on photoshop and see what tickles your fancy.

DT-R_bradders · Guru

lookin gd there nev, where did u get your seat done btw I want to get mine re-done at some point but in black with yellow lettering and pos yellow stitching, to go with my colour scheme

DT-R_bradders · Guru

also how does it run with your custom inlet setup all gd??

NEV · Guru

Local upholsterer bloke did the seat for me Bradders, and not had it running yet, having a custom built throttle cable made for it this week.

Calum122 · Guru

Explain to me again why you need to have a throttle cable made up. Is this purely because of your carberetta or is this a problem that I may have to face when it comes to it.

NEV · Guru

Well calum, it gets rid of the junction box, which I don't need as I premix, so it will be a one piece cable, which my bloke seems to reckon is better, plus as you say either ends need different nipple and adjuster on outer cable type due to both being much different from the standard DT set up, quick throttle at the bars, and the Keihin carb throttle inlet. You may encounter similar problem but depends how the del'orto inlet/ screw lid is, your throttle inlet on the bars will more than likely be a DTR one?

Calum122 · Guru

Hhmm yeah. So I may need to investigate its compatability with the VHSA carb. MISSION!

Nah not really lol. Sorry who did you take it to for a new cable. Are they a specialist or will any joey do.

NEV · Guru

Nah hes just a local bloke to me that can do it, if I were you I'd find a local place to you that knocks out trikes, they'll make you a custom cable if you need one.

slob · Guru

looks amazing Nev! Look forward to seeing her finished.

the only way is YAMAHA DTR · Guru

My bike wants to make babies with that :)

Looks great

NEV · Guru

Ha ha ha Towie, it looks nicer now with that new DEP on it all shiney, I'm now on the lookout for some TDR Italia wheels (3sh model), same as I put on the Black/Green bike for SM, till I can get the 3 spoked wheels turned out to take the custom bearings I need to use.

NEV · Guru

Picked up the custom made cable for the 4DL Belgarda quick throttle, and the Keihin carb today, will try and get it fitted sometime this weekend, some snagging work left, but should be able to start her up hopefully pretty soon.

Oh my god that is so sexy!

NEV if I'm having problems I may need your advice and help :/ That is gorgeous.

Also mate can you tell me what a quick throttle is. What it effectively does?

NEV · Guru

No probs, cheers California

Calum122 · Guru

Also mate can you tell me what a quick throttle is. What it effectively does?

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

shortens the pull by about a 1/4 turn so it's less strain on your wrist in laymans terms

Calum122 · Guru

Mint :D

Where can I get one lmao. So that's like my brothers YZ then. Hardly any pull in it.
