Hi ,does anyone know if these would just bolt straight onto my DT125X without to much Swearing and aggro iv seen a set of wheels ,forks monoshock and swingarm for a nice price and wanted to know if anyone has done this/asked this question before?
Lol. Hasn't loaded on my screen but if that is your signiture you're going to have to resize it please buddy
Yes it'll all fit.
The only difference is the colour and the fact that the DTX has a front brembo caliper which the fork leg compensates for. You'll probably need to machine up a bracket for the fork leg to accommodate for the bigger disc.
I have a dtx atm wont the brembo go onto re forks (smaller disc) and iv heard the fork stanchions are different diameter , would this cause any issues? Thanks Karl
The stanchions are the chrome tubes i think they're the same size , will my dtx front wheel spindle fit RE forks? or will i have to craft something up?
ideally what im after is using my DTX with DTX wheels etc but with the forks and rear susp off an RE (i want that softer spongier off road feel ) has anyone thought of doing this /is this a good idea in theory?
To be quite honest mate you're better off with stiffer suspension. I'm not sure but isn't the shock slightly adjustable.
I didn't realise the two shocks were different in stiffness. Personally SM would be better with stiff suspension. As a rule of thumb the stiffer the ride the better the road holding!
I also prefer the colour of the DTX setup. Prefer the black. But it all comes down to personal preference.
thats what mine is ,iv had her since brand new .I always thought i'll get a DTR one day and spend Sh**loads of wonga at demon tweaks to SM it but then one day i walked into my local yam dealer and i laid my eyes on a DT but already kitted out with excels needless to say i signed up for finance that week ,mines an 05 reg in black prob got about 8000 miles on it, i want to get some DD decals for it to spice it up abit, one thing i would like to know is where can i get fairing screws from as im after them in anodised red (or even the fairing screw size ie M3 M5 etc i don't mind hacksawing them to fit) then i'll be looking for engine bolts sprocket bolts and all the fancy trimmings. no doubt i'll have countless other questuons to ask as i go
I'll measure the stock ones then knock say 1mm off of the lenth im pretty dandy with a file , speaking of filing im gonna av to file the burrs off of where the gyppo C**ts snapped my steering lock when they nicked her
