Posted December 27, 200915 yr I have a DT175 from '74 that I recently bought for $50. It does NOT have a title. (May be able to get one, but I had it for a parts bike for my titled 1972 125 AT2). Problems: Lights/gauges/blinkers are mostly removed/smashed. No chain - Wasn't there No back break (the cable at least) No seat mounting pieces/hardware The break and seat parts I took off for my AT2. The engine does turn over, and I believe it is complete. Doesn't look too great, but I have some spare new parts for the AT2 from the previous owner that may also work for it. I will use it for ONLY offroad, not road use. So the lights/key-ignition/blinkers/speedo don't matter to me. Is it worth fixing this up? Thanks

December 28, 200915 yr Author I looking into it a little more today and talked to a mechanic who had inspected it. It will need a new piston with rings, possibly a new cylinder, a new carb, air filter, chain, rear brake linkage. That adds up to $300 or so, maybe less, possibly more. I don't know how much the bike is worth, and I have a few other bikes of my own. If I find a parts bike or spare engine with carb, maybe then I will do it.

Yes,that bike is pretty rough.I think it is just a parts bike.Would be for me anyway.
