Have to agree with Airhead... even starting with a (near) complete bike, I've sunk a small fortune into my DT restoration... course, it wasn't about the cost for me, rather about learning and doing it up right.

Looks like fun!

...is like that annoying cousin your parents always compared you to – the one that always did as they were told... ...when the Trabant factory closed... wait, I love the little Trabis. Nice write-up!

Have I posted this before? No matter, it's still true.

Yep, we just have terrible drainage systems and get flash floods.

Welcome aboard and congrats on your first big bike... just barely got my first big bike.

Welcome aboard! I too can relate to a shaky start!

Hi and welcome!

Welcome aboard! So you bought the frame by itself and now you'll need to purchase and rebuild everything to make a complete bike?

My dad has had his motorcycle since i can remember and that started my interest. Got into riding with friends at about 13 years old. Rode a couple bikes off road, but mostly rode pillion until one day I decided I didn't want to wait around for a guy to ride. That's when I learned to do it for myself. Still stuck to off-roading even after I got my endorsement and never really rode on the street until I got the little G7S a few years ago. Didn't really have the confidence for traffic until then. Had a friend give me the '76 DT175 (probably over a decade ago) and started trying to fix it. Unfortunately, life happened and the bike was left behind until I got my own home (and garage). Now I've just about got her tuned in and then I bought the Bolt... so, it's ended up being Yamahas for me all the way too. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Welcome aboard BradZ!

OH GEEZ! That's a tad frightening! We've had some pretty good downpours here, but nothing that's been sat long enough to gather algae! Just enough to go over the top of your boots.

This is so true! My mom said she would cry sometimes because of how mean my sister and I were to each other.

Hi Andy... I'm afraid I'm no help with electrics, but I can suggest introducting yourself in the New Members section. Just pop up an introduction there... you're likely to get a better response if you do. Welcome aboard btw!
