There is still quite a lot to do to it such as getting the frame powder coated and everything painted etc.

Thanks for looking, let me know what you think

damn fine effort,why dont they make bikes like this anymore? the younger generation have been robbed of the experience....or maybe im just getting old

Thanks and its not finished yet! Yes these bikes are good, shame they dont make them like this anymore. Can't wait till this is finished!

well done on your rebuild started a project but my only problem is i do not have no infomation on where to find a dt50mx seat for a 1987 model same seat as a 1986 model .

maybe one day i may be as near as you it looks really good what you have done .

Can anyone give me some more info on what aftermarket carbs fit a DT50MX as I'm struggling to source a replacement float valve.

Many thanks in advance.
