hi everyone

Here is my Yamaha DT50, ive stripped it down and re-painted it, added some mirrors that are easier on the eye, some hand guards and a few other little tidbits like a bigone exhaust and a K&N style filter (and rejetted the carb to compensate) overall i'm very pleased with it, for something that is older than me its probably in better condition :P

so... here it is before

I'm pleased with the results, im still awaiting the arrival of my DT50 stickers to put on the tank and a new left switchgear but other than that it is ready to go :)
