September 29, 201014 yr Author Moderator 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.

October 22, 201014 yr Christ, I know I'm a bit on the slim side but i swear I could crawl through that front pipe....sideways
October 23, 201014 yr Author Moderator 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.
November 15, 201014 yr Nice Ride Paul, Looks good! I just tore down my 1978 DT175, going to take my time restoring the bike back. Dave

December 14, 201014 yr 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
