Detale Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hello again guys. Was just curious how many members here had DT2's or similar here? I posted in the welcome thread a few pics in case you missed them here she is. I plan on making it street legal and would welcome any tips advice you guys would have. Does anyone know where I could pick up a Manual in PDF format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detale Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Wow thats nice! Did you do the resto yourself? How much of that is original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nets Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi, Yeah I did the resto myself 3 years ago now. I kept the bike as original as I could (condition permitting)a lot of the polished parts i.e hubs had to be painted as they were too pitted for my liking. All original chrome was re-chromed and many nos parts purchsed, all fastners were replaced with stainless the whole resto was done to withstand our delightful climate so it can actualy be ridden, it required a very deep pocket but worth it, it does get ridden as well it's not just for looking at, fun times!!

Detale Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Thanks so much! I have the parts list already. I am however looking for a place to buy a decent looking oil tank for the bike. There are 2 on Ebay but they are dented up. Any suggestions would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detale Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hello again gang and Happy New Year! OK so I have a few questions that I'm not sure about, maybe someone can help. Here are some pics of it I wanted to ask if I can repack the muffler? As it is now it's wont pass inspection to be street legal. I need to quiet it down a bit. Even if I had to get a new styly exhaust as I'm not looking to do a complete restoration here just get it to be able to ride on the street. Any suggestions would be awesome. Also I noticed the 2nd spark plug with no wire attached. Is this supposed to be like this? It started on the 3rd kick and sounded pretty fair. I haven't had any real time to spend on it yet but I figured I could ask here. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayruf Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi, I have been told that the second plug is so that a plug with a different operating grade can be fitted to give the bike the option of swapping over the plug cap if the first plug fails, others will know more, I suppose a De-compressor valve could also be fitted there if needed, a mates DT had a second plug and it had a blank fitted in stead of a plug.
