Stripped to the bone,  air filter disintegrated after 39 years,  [  lots of original bolts & rubbers ]  loom complete ,  head bearings were dry paste, but seats are unmarked , [ new balls & grease]  as taper bearings are too tall, and the headlamp shrouds end up loose,]

Gonna paint frame, not a fan of powder coat,

Good find ! , should make a decent bike whats the seat base and rear muddy like.

I sold my DT360 about 2 months ago, dont regret it though as theres a 77 xt500 sat in its place ready for a restoration.

Bit of brazing work and some tin bashing should be able to sort out both the seat base and the small triangular piece.

 You never know what may show up this weekend.

A word of warning,  Yuniparts [ Uk ] [ ebay ]. sell switchgear, [repro]  the imdicator switch arrives.  it has 6 pin & 4 pin plugs,  well the twinshock 513 models have a 4 pin only , the rest are loose,  in this [ bar switch] thers a  blue white. now on both my bikes MX 1M2 & twinshock, 513, thers no blue/white. [ or in diagrams] so I traced it ,into switch , it is the power to lights,  should line up with brown on loom ,

 So I emails yuniparts,  do you sell any swiches to mach the 513-00-00 models, [ they sell this loom]  NO WE ONLY SELL USA & Canada switches, 501-00-00.   I REPLIES well that's crazy,  you sell the looms and no switches to match,, :eusa_doh:

Any way I sorted it to suit,
