Bike looks absolutely wicked in that last picture.

This is it for the build. From this: To This:

lol. That spray booth. Looks like something out of Dexter! Scary haha

Aww I'm gutted for you mate. I don't know what to say, I'm sorry for your loss. Take it easy bud.

Yeah fair enough. It's a funky colour.

Aww wow that's a well interesting project. I can only imagine that it's going to be an expensive one too!

Any updates NEV? Or you just been too busy.

Nice. No photos though Picture says a thousand words and words give me a headache. Much like this project I bet. How come you didn't decide to just rebuild your original engine? Was there any particular reason?

Lol. Oh dear. Yep that's only good for one thing now. Still gotta admire you getting it out lmao. I'm not sure I could have. What are you going to do about the fork extension mate? I'm planning on tack welding mine in place before I powdercoat it. Are you keeping the wheels Yellow? Or you going to do something exotic? I've seen a chap on eBay same wheels as mine with his RS had his wheels painted. And they look so awesome. Definitely going to get mine done at some point.

That's an impressive restoration there Mervin. Raymond have you got any photos to update us with. Sounds like you're doing better than I'd expected to tell you the truth. I thought it may have taken you a while before you sorted those bits out. Would be interested in seeing the frame and engine once it's done.

And No I was keeping the DEP system. In case I want to go off roading.

Got my barrel back today. I'm not overly impressed but he's still done a cracking job. I don't think it's much different from standard. Here's the two comparisons. Also he filed down the Powervalve too much and has exposed the dowel. Yay! Now I've got to sort it out....

Very nice photography skills.

The before and after photos are going to look amazing haha!

I know NEV had an original looking seat cover made up for his DTR. It looks really good. Unfortunately it was not print on the seat it was YAMAHA cut out and then another colour beneath it. Personally it looks better. Or different.

Those wheels are nice. Would prefer if it had some panels. Looks so naked without it. Although to be fair probably better as a commuter. My first bike was full fairing and what a nightmare.

That's okay. Prefer a fairing model. Still not a bad price really. For something of that age looks like in good condition.

A little comparison of my bike vs an Aprilia RS. Hmm still has a long way to go yet

Yeah tell me about it. By the time I come to buy them the prices will be through the roof!

Also that makes my heart flutter. Really really really gorgeous bike. I love them 80's look. Square rear ends. Rather that the triangle stuff they release these days. Would love to have a blast on a big two smoker! One day I will get myself an RD350 or something similar.

Aww wow that plate. Would love to get some small pressed plates on my bike.

My new pipe. Just needs a bit of welding so I can put an end can on it. Thinking about the Jolly Moto end can

Yeah. My mate is picking up a DT in the next couple of weeks so should have some more fun. I was thinking of selling the DEP system but I dunno now. I'll have to see how it goes. The guy I bought it from is really cool. He's even sent me some maps for my ignition to go with the pipes lmao!

Cheers fellas! Received it this morning. Unfortunately because all my mates sold their bikes I don't go green laning anymore But I'll always have my DEP system if I need to go off roading

Seems to be common with a lot of companies these days. And they wonder why so many are going bust??? Gee I wonder...
