finnerz89 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thought I'd get round to starting a thread on my progress with my little DT! No pics as yet, I'll stick those up later. I have next week booked off work so I'll hopefully be rebuilding it then, provided I get all the parts together! Jobs done so far: Frame, swingarm, handlebars etc all powdercoated matte black Polisport halo headlight Braided brake lines New cables Carb ultrasonic cleaned (getting that back this week) Engine side cases powdercoated dark grey (getting those back next week) New fixings 2nd hand rear shock Jobs still to do: Paint and rebuild rear shock linkage Buy some new plastics/stickers New chain and sprox Install headlight relay Remove rev limiter (woop) Probably loads more I've missed, but it's a start!

finnerz89 Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 So, made some progress today, new bearings, bushes and seals in the swingarm and rear shock linkage. Also cleaned the powdercoat off some of the pivot points. Tomorrow will be retapping holes and servicing the brake calipers Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnerz89 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 So, most of the holes retapped (I'm sure I've missed a few) and subframes fitted. Now for my least favourite activity - cleaning things lol Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 So today wasn't massively successful, held up by the fact i haven't got the right spanners for the headstock bearings! They're arriving tomorrow though so I'll hopefully get the forks, bars, front wheel and then clocks/headlight fitted. I have managed to fit the airbox and battery tray, then some of the electronics. As well as the radiator. Should hopefully start cleaning the loom up tomorrow as well Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevtheRev Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Just noticed this thread Finners . You're off to a good start . Can't beat a good DT for fun ! What's the crack with the motor ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 The motors all gravy, but I'm having both side covers powdercoated so just waiting for those back. Then it'll need a good scrub and should be ready to go! Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmzie Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnerz89 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Ah yeah. Well it's running sweet as a nut, reset the air mixture screw to stock settings, tweaked the throttle return screw and she fired up! Done a good few hundred miles since. Latest update is fitted a Trailtech Vapour speedo and dash, very snazzy! Next step is to have the exhaust ceramic coated matte black.
