DT125R ARCHIVE

Got yourself a nice little project there, when you say paint are you doing this yourself or getting it done by a pro?

I've been waiting for someone to do a black and orange or black and yellow theme. Done right I think it would look good.

Why a yz swing? Dtx swing's are quite nice but maybe i'm not seeing the benefit.

nice project pal =] btw wear abouts in london are you from im from south east

bloody hell that bikes had a hard life or seen some fields ...

must state not always the best thing to do is show you full reg on net for many reasons main one is reg plate cloneing some chav will or may use your reg to stick on his stolen off road bike or for petrol runs ect ect .

oh and welcome to the forum keep us updated as your project go,s along

Luckily this part if the forum is members only. And they could get your plate from outside your house so i think it's all relative.

 not always the case or true ..

 

lets say a theif has stolen dtx in that area ?  dont see  many dtx on the roads but can easy find pics of a reg on the net ..

not saying what I think saying what I know for fact coming from a sink estate its common to google image search  a relivant bike to the one they have for field or stolen taking note of the area the bike maybe in  then geting a show plate made up witht hat reg to use on the road  be it for crime or petrol runs ect . if the reg is shecked by passing police car it can come back as insured tax-tested and addressed to that or a local town or city and may not get a pull .

see many bikes and cars with velcro attached plates for this very reason .

 

 

thanks guys
sorry i didnt mean a swingarm of the yz, i meant like the tail panels etc.
color wise i cannot get myself around it i have alredy ordered some paints through but im having a change of mind with the color scheme, first it was going to be all black frame blue tank white tail and white front, and maybe a split white blue wheels,
but i dont like blue :D hhahaa, that idea with orange could work , but what are you thinking? range frame and litle bits and the rest black?
any more ideas guys? and i do the painting myself i will show you couple of examples of my previous painting :)
d
and yeah well it mighthave been cheap but it also needs another 500 of parts at least hehehe :D

and yeah maybe its true with that reg, but the same way this shows the reg, its just like when people sell these bikes of ebay,

and im in south west london :)

sounds like you was aiming for this lol with the standard tank

this was my dt 230 design i was going to do with a older dtr tank because there better looking =]

or full black orange frame and split wheels would look good too :) too bad i ordered a white headlight hehehe :D.

i think that black and orange is talking to me :D

here is some of my previous paintjobs, my aprilia and my blade

i like the green and black wheels alot they look really good.


i must ask how can you go from a blade back to a 125 lol i hated going back to my 125 from my 650

hahaha sopose thats the same as me lol

i got my licence revoked for geting 6 points in the first 2 years then was nocked off and lost my 3 years ncb

so i have now decided. full black bike orange frame split orange black wheels. would you guys say the swingarm black or orange?

i dont mind cleaning the bike heheh :) i just dont know what would look best, and the rear fender should i change it or chop it up , removing the light from the top and making it slimer? i won a set of yz plastics for a quid heheh just waiting for the guy to send me an invoice when he sorts out the postage, so for that money its worth a shot to try it on :)

yz swingarm are aluminum so they do not rust and the dt swingarms are made out of steel so they rust shame they are not aluminum 

still trying to strip the frame down but nearly everything is seazed up. i had to cut off the rear shock and now i need the bushes that it sits on. also the linkage bushes are done so need these replacing . grrr every second there is more and more. maybe someone has some of the parts that i need for sale
