Moderator Cynic Posted September 29, 2010 Moderator Posted September 29, 2010 Crikey that front pipe's a monster, is that the 'big one' with a paint job?
Moderator Airhead Posted September 29, 2010 Author Moderator Posted September 29, 2010 Crikey that front pipe's a monster, is that the 'big one' with a paint job? It is mate, at one time they were available in black or chrome. Only seem to see chrome ones these days.
Moderator Cynic Posted September 29, 2010 Moderator Posted September 29, 2010 It is mate, at one time they were available in black or chrome. Only seem to see chrome ones these days. Chrome ain't gonna work on a 30 year old DT.
jebb Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Christ, I know I'm a bit on the slim side but i swear I could crawl through that front pipe....sideways
Guest CardBoardDave Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Thats a great looking bike Paul. Did you restore it?
Moderator Airhead Posted October 23, 2010 Author Moderator Posted October 23, 2010 No not in the true sense of the term 'restored' Dave, i'm the the one and only owner, I rode it for years through the winters and in more recent times started to look after it, a true restored one would have all the zinc and green nuts and bolts etc, personally I prefer stainless and I'm happy with something that looks good for it's age rather than something that looks straight from the showroom.
Yamaryder Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Nice Ride Paul, Looks good! I just tore down my 1978 DT175, going to take my time restoring the bike back. Dave
odia Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 shes a beaut mate haven't seen one with the black before; come across a few old rusty chrome ones over the years though; im jealous!
blackhat250 Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Its a cracker paul , this is the DT you should have brought to squires , i kno there not as quick as them LC125s, but looks period" 70s early 80s Classic
2Smoke Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Good looking! I'm building one for the mrs in the same colours!
Moderator Airhead Posted December 8, 2010 Author Moderator Posted December 8, 2010 Thanks for the comments everyone Good looking! I'm building one for the mrs in the same colours! Paul, why not follow it on a thread here...feed our DTMX passion Be good to see it anyway.

2Smoke Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 I bought a camera at the weekend, so I'll get snapping. But its not the cleanest dt by far! Get it all mechanically sorted first then do the cosmetics, that's my motto
