I bought my dtr 7 months ago, i was aware it needed some work when i bought her. I was made redundant, and as a result of that the bike got put on the back burner. But now with xmas out the way, and i am settled in a new job i have managed to pick up the tools again. my bike was running 2 weeks ago (but had awful piston slap) i had not ridden her since this had started. on Thursday the 21st of feb i started to dismantle the bike and thats where it all begins.

 

I had allready spoken with norfe about my engine and arranged that it was going to him. you can follow the progress of the complete enginbe rebuild on norfes thread linked below

Here are some pics as she was when i picked her up.

Get a photo bucket account and embed the images into that bit will make this thread so much better and more enjoyable to read. This way I'm on my iPhone I have to read. Then scroll down. Zoom. Tap photo. Zoom and the picture won't center. It's a real kerfufal

Be nice to watch this build but through the thread with embedded photos.

just seached on ebay for the size i wanted and order that in in 10/20/30 packs.

for just your panels, might be worth visiting halfords and buying them from there, may cost u 5/6 quid more but u can take your bolts in and compare them to the new ones u are buying ensuring u get the right size, length etc
