Been pretty preoccupied with other stuff lately, so the bikes as a whole have taken a back burner massively, FUCR is still in the garage somewhere and I only recently dug out the DT125LC frame I had started to rebuild, so today was as good a time as any to actually do a few little niff naff jobs on it that were holding me back.

Namely the shock absorber bushes, which had to be put under the hydraulic press to separate from the swingarm, the remains of the old ones put up a hell of a fight and ended up being dremmeled and pecked at with a chisel before the new ones went in. 

 

Ordered a lump of phosphor bronze and some grease nipples so will be spinning up some swing arm bushes on the lathe tomorrow, it's starting to look more and more like a bike and less like a cluttered mess in the garage, whilst its still a country mile off being finished It genuinely made me smile today to see it slowly taking shape.
