    Hi all. I have a euro spec dt125 that was reg'd Feb 74 in cheshire. I think it's a 73 though as it has the earlier style curved exhaust. I have been looking for ages for a replacement seat, or even just the seat pan. The one on the bike had disintegrated to the point that I only have the back part (plus foam and cover of course). I bought a couple of single seats from the USA from at3 and ct3, in an attempt to just to get the bike rideable, but the hinge and lock points are in different places. If it helps, the rear part of my pan has a single indent in the centre to clear the rear light loom. Most of those I have seen aren't like this. If anyone can help me with what should fit, or better still where I can get the proper dual seat base from, that would be much appreciated. I would really like to get this bike out on the road next year. Many thanks, and a happy new year to you all, John.

    Hi people, I came across this site after searching for info, so thought I would join So about me. Well I started riding bikes at an early age, mainly trials. I passed my test in 81 but spent most of the 80s and 90s competing off road in trials and enduros.The bikes were road registered too, but never felt the need at that time to get a road bike. Got hooked on road bikes in 97 when I bought a new blade. I'm a bit of a petrol head so have a number of bikes, road, off road, classic and modern. I have an 08 R1 that I use solo, and a Ducati MTS1200 that we use for touring. Asside from the R1 I also have an early DT125 that just needs a seat base to be rideable, and a DT250 too that is complete and ready to go. The DT125 looks more like an AT3, but is a UK bike and has a twin seat (making it tricky to find another seat, been looking for ages) Looking forward to reading some of the posts on here and joining in too I have some questions regarding parts for the 125, but will make sure I have a good search first
