DT125R ARCHIVE

im going to stick with it NEV, i just get annoyed with halfords, bought the black paint for the exhaust too and it looks like dirt not black. dreed i have got the standard hoses i dont need to swap :D im going to be selling these off they are pretty much new, will post a pic tomorro

got the engine ito the frame today got the swinger on aswell and the dogbones just waiting for the bolt to come in and will have the whole rear end on, i just noticed that the linkage has movement on where the dogbones are it seams like the bushes are too long, is this how it is susposed to be or did i do something wrong ? :D

 

does she look beautifull or what?

Them hoses are on eBay. I got some a year or so ago now.

They had green, red and blue when I looked.

Now they only seem to have blue and green in stock. :(

What you using to spray the frame? Just rattle cans or an air compressor with the paint attachment?

If you're using rattle cans, you can get an air compressor with the paint attachment for around £100-£150 depending where you go and what you go for.

Can use them for a lot of other useful things as well! Blowing up wheels to a specific PSI, using compressed air to blow rubbish out of air boxes etc. :)

update from today :) later on the carb the airbox went on the loom got connected. the rad and 2t tank went on too :) but got too dark to take pics. the wheels look good preatty much a straight fit. just need to see and make a bracket for the front brake :) unfortunately the speedo drive had to go on upside down as it wdnt work with the forks. but im guessing this conversion is just like dtx conversion when you get the forks with it all just bolts on

 

 

 

good idea, wouldhave done mine if i had the cash for it, a bit plane now but still looks good :)

which one? on the forks and swinger?

thats sparking black. CANBRUSH. they do really good paints maybe not so many colors to choose from but 400ml cans for about 4 quid i always tend to use themm.here is the other dt tht i did fully painted in that 'sparking black' sorry my old phones camera got all scratched up and was taking crap pics

 

 

thanks man :) wish i havnt sold her for the money that i did tho

Well then, you've given me an idea to go duel shade light /dark graphite grey, I reckon it will look ok,

thats a nice shade of grey... just did some alloys a few months back in gun metal grey, and was thinking its a really hot colour!!!

didnt even top coat it and it was still shiny, like the swinger and the forks no difference but the swinger was clear coated

yes shoudhave done it but too late now :D i still might need to take them off for the seals, might do it than :D

Light mounted up and it looks like it was made for the hpires :)
