hi i just got a dt125r off a mate who has had it sat in his garden for 6 years ! the bike is a 2002 and was crashed 6 years ago so 2007 ish it had only 1600 miles from new on it and started well considering the petrol had turnt to parafin needs a good clean and service bike was made a CAT B by insurers as the frame bent so i am on the hunt for a good frame with v5 ASAP! so i can get out on it
all original and was kept under a cover so in pretty good nick
cheers whats his username? a guy selling a frame on ebay has one but its a isle of man frame and i cant be bothered with the registering malarky dont hav time for that i like your sm wheems :)
found that he says the frame numbers are stamped on by someone so a bit off puting i found a guy called scrimsmustang ? who restores classic yamahas advertising a 2000 frame ive messaged him on his website and here regarding the frame i see hes not been on in a while wondering if anyone knows any other way to contact him
ahh i see yea cat B means for parts only but the bike is pretty mint apart from the near side panel it fell on on the rear and obviously the back of the frame bent
harrys frame im sure is fine but in london if i get pulled and police check the numbers and they suspect foul play because they are a bit wonkey even ff there isnt any its just hassle i would rather be without tbh
They would just double check with DVLA and you'd be on your way in seconds. The excuse you could use is that it's been powdercoated and needed restamping, which is the case IIRC.
bought a 1998 frame a new stand as was missing as mate sold it to a mate who needed one years ago. also ordered a haynes manual just so handy to have gonna paint frame hopefully next week when it arives build it up change all fluids and fuel system needs a major clean up
frame arrived all looks good and straight need to change barrel on headstock to my one as no key was provided frame will come to work with me tomorrow to get sanded and ready for some paint just original black i think
