Pizzle--!!

thas kool cheers man ile be doing tht @ the weekend

so... to pick up where ide left off .... once the powervalve problem was sorted and it was running fine again ( well ish ) i moved onto the look that i wanted to achieve ... ide looked about for hours checking and looking @ ideas from bike to bike and came up with a plan hehe so streetfighter supermoto it is i addressed the rear end problem of the seat overhanging the fender never liked the look of that so after cropping the plastics to follow the line of the frame and making a tail tidy of my own i then chopped the rear end down starting from the seat which i removed 3 inches from the back .. following this adjusted the lines of the rear fender and built up the panel as i wanted it to look using paper mashe as a base URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/810/11072011091.jpg/] next for the first layer of fibreglass then a quick sand down before then next layer was applied ( corners are a pain in the arse ) added a layer of resin and filler next another session of sanding and a final layer of fibreglass ment i was left with this ... to which ive added a layer of white paint to show my high spots this will be attacked with a sander and then given another lick of paint to giv the desired finish for the inside of the mould i also changed the lights as the front lights arent the most aesthetically pleasing after raiding my old mans old hotrod plastics i found a fibreglass panel remover from the boot so i stole it cut it up and ended up with this next the brackets had to be fabricated so i used some old pieces of ply how it looks all together front on soooo.... the end of a long winded explanation of what ive done to it the explaination probaly wasnt needed but hey some one might have asked ile upload some more once things move along

hey peeps i thought it was about time i got my sorry behind in gear and put up a few pictures of my dt and show you all how my project has and is coming along so ... as it looked on purchase .. firstly removing everything to have a look at the condition and a few minors but overall looked sound so my first problem was my dodgey head nut which had threaded the stud ( covering my leg in hot water )... ( should of fully stripped that and powercoated the frame and swingarm n had the forks done bt ile get round to that ) (as you can see the chains still on any1 kno any tricks to get the front sprocket off ive tried locking the backwheel using the gears aand back brake and combinations of the both or all to no avail and as i wanted / really need to upgear it this could be a nuisance) eventually i had this sorted with the help of the machine shop at my old work wer they kindly drilled n removed the stud after ide sheared it off trying to remove it using nuts as a friction lock (ending up accross the garage as a result) i then came to the problem on which i broke my yamaha forum virginity my dodgy electrics and powervalve to which cynic and old G graciously offered there help and i managed to overcome this problem although my back light wont flash when the brakes are applied but thats all that rong now electrically speaking ... anyways .. time as ive got work ile finish up tomorrow Pizzle

hey guys ive found an akrapovic silencer from a 600 suzuki bandit my mate had it lol nt sure how or why ?? but i wernt complainin when he said i could have it after i spotted it in his garage but would i be able to fabricate it to a pipe to go on my dt125r its got a full dep atm but ive got a 2nd dep silencer thats crushed wer my mates bike got reversed onto ( i was nearly in tears at tht lol) so i could use the bit where it connects, and end up wit a dep expansion chamber n a carbon akrapovic im a welder by trade so joining the 2 wouldnt b a problem but does any1 kno if its worth doin ? or trying ? or would even work well ? b4 i buy the silencer ? (ive fell in love with tht silencer ) lol cheers guys

hey guys minor problem lol ive lost my tickover , dnt know where it has gone but riding my bike about without 1 is really getting on my nerves as my clutch isint brilliant and the amount of times ive had to stop and sit there kiking the fuk out of my bike to restart it at a traffic light is unbelievable ( it once took that long the fukin light changed from red to green and bak to red b4 ide started the thing and this was the last straw) it didnt have a tick over when i bought it .. ive tried the screww on the side of the carb and that does nothing no matter how many turns its given . and im not sure where to go from here any1 know how to restore it and fancied sharing that information would be a godsend
