Dt125R Project

Now Sold and long gone.
Bought this bike for £400 years ago and spent an entire year restoring it. The plan was to just clean it and put it back together. That plan failed and I quickly began adding shit it didn't really need.
I spent about 3k and that wasn't all in one go, that was spread out over a year or so and using monthly wages whenever I could. I'm not rich by a long shot it just meant I went hungry sometimes that's all.
Everything on the the bike is pretty self explanatory. I dont suggest you do this unless you are willing to never park it anywhere without paranoia. People will notice it and want to take your hard work off you.
I still have it 3 years on and tbh I hardly use it, still has the same tyres which aren't near worn. I preferred building it rather than riding, sounds crazy but that's just me.
The ASV levers are universal but make sure they fit before buying them, your LH electrics will get in the way so be careful. On an 88 Dt the LH electrics are weird.

Very good job guy!! congratultion ;)

[@Thabronx_965]

about 3k , its doing fine thanks, recently had a rebuild due to a crappy crank but it looks pretty much like it does in the video mainly because I hardly use it and I look after it

[@crimecoast4705]

best project ever seen !

[@MyErupT]

The best tuning story of a Yamaha dt I had ever see nice bike ! :)

[@szymeq2531]

Nice job man! The most beautiful dt125r!

[@adVanceBitch]

That is the coolest dt125r I have ever seen! Great Job!

[@Thabronx_965]

thanks man good luck with the build

[@BretHardy94]

You gave that bike a new life. Amazing job !!

[@Thabronx_965]

You have to use the DTX forks with them so you can fit the big brake conversion. Easy to do once you get the parts. The swingarm doesn't need changing

[@cranchi8911]

WOW ! Amazing job ! Your project is a best in the world 😉! Congratulations from France .

[@baggie00001]

You did a fantastic job with that bike.

[@retro80s22]

fantastically done unbelievable attention and care well done

[@VotrexTuga]

Great Job mate!

[@skateonwans]

Very nice DT and video too.

[@sh1rty]

That is one beautiful restoration job, congrats :) Keep those old two-strokes alive - the world will thank you one day ! Loved the music BTW :D

[@Thabronx_965]

Thanks very much! Will do, planning to take it off road soon and store it. I don't use it and selling it would be pointless. Quick restore and it should be a nice shelf ornament for a few years

[@Lordrico11]

MugensiekiYes please continue the dt story

[@sh1rty]

Mugensieki I'd ride the wheels off it and keep it looking and feeling good, but hey I understand your choice - and a fine ornament it is :)

[@tomtellem]

@@Thabronx_965 how long did it take to restore it? How many hours?

[@Endisupertramp]

Very kind of you,i just offered more as a token of appreciation,as I have no leads as to where to get the cover. I though of buying an YZ or some other,but there's a big chance it would come out short since DT has a biiiiiiig seat.

[@hannesview]

This bike is a dream , absolutely AMAZING, YOU ARE A GOD ! xD

[@Mugre300]

Pretty awesome job i have to say.. Im shocked on how good it looks!!!

[@RehynGaming]

[@DATBOISKINA]

[@joehanson7070]

how did you manage getting the supermoto wheels to fit i have a suzuki ts 125 r same ish bike and im having trouble finding a set tha will fit

[@hugoprch8481]

wow amazing job !!

[@joehanson7070]

hi mate where did you get the seat upholstery from i want to re trim my seat and did you use glue and staples to re do it

[@ReiizHD]

Holy shit dude. You have awesome bike!

[@rowenamagallanes2514]

Nice machine mate well done

[@baggie00001]

Ive tried searching Ebay for one of these rear fenders but HPires does not appear to be on Ebay anymore.

[@MrMastermind1000]

Im not going to lie, you got skills and good taste bro that bike looks fucking sick! Well done

[@MrVitek9712]

what what ..? so this is a beautiful work .. beautiful transformation'm waiting too :D NICE

[@oOMrLegitOo]

God damn, that bike is so epic!*__*

[@hayes302]

yea i know it does need some work like the shift lever sticks and the carb defiantly needs a cleaning but she runs good

[@baggie00001]

Got ya. I cant get the bearings or collars out on my swingarm anyway and i destroyed the oil seals on removal.Ordered new seals but everything else can stay in there.

[@Caluma122]

My DT does about 120 miles to the tank. Cost about £15 to fill the tank nowadays. Was a tenner when I first got it. It is a two stroke so it's going to be a little bit more to run but £15 a week is nothing.

[@CleytonFernandoEugenio]

Simplesmente fantástico. Parabéns ao projeto.

[@littleweirdo96]

The way it looked at the start (standard) I have that exact bike, same year but in green and black, could never do something like this to it, for that money you may as well buy a new bike ^^ but I must say the final piece looks amazing

[@Thabronx_965]

I got the seat cover from a car upholstery shop, usually at the back of some industrial estate. Try places like that before spending loads in a shop. It cost me £15 fir enough material to do at least 4 seats

[@Thabronx_965]

cheers man appreciate it!

[@seangarnham]

how do the sm wheels fit is there much hassle in doing it?

[@callumclarke7002]

SWEEEEEEET! Good effort!

[@Caluma122]

@HaztaUK I have on my bike. I've got USD's on my bike with rs125 wheels on. But seiki's used the wheels that come off the yamaha dt125x. So as long as he's got the spacers for it it all fits. It's the easiest supermoto conversion you can do. Ranging to probably almos anything. So long as you know what you're doing.

[@Dennihansen]

SO NICE!

[@baggie00001]

One more question. Ive taken off the swingarm from my 2007 dt125re today. Its got a few rust areas. Why do you not advise to powdercoat the swingarm?

[@Thabronx_965]

thank you

[@vincentbolder2669]

Nice Work Dude!!!

[@Thabronx_965]

Go for it man glad it inspired

[@Thabronx_965]

Yeah man you bolt the bottom adaptor to the yoke, then the top adaptor over the bars. When you order them make sure they have the correct size for your bike

[@Endisupertramp]

What was the coating you used for the rear swingarm? Mine is in an awful state.

[@Skorpixx941]

What a beauty ! Goog job man !! Oo

[@2and4stroke]

hey, i have a dt125r to and im thinking of sandblasting the swingarm, do you think it will be as shiny as yours?

[@callofoti]

@Mugensieki ok:) where did u get them?

[@RacingVirus]

very nice job !!!

[@Xexully]

I cant believe that this guy still responds even after 10 years.

Bow! Really perfect.. True motorcycle love. :)

[@inspectorrex351]

amazing!!

[@TheBonScott33]

have you tuned the engine??

[@davidkursey4395]

were Did u git the fork covers from ?

[@gyigyu]

what rear mudguard is it????

[@Ducatilife57]

Hello, how many time you ought he to finish the motorcycle ?

[@Thabronx_965]

The seat is some kind of rubber, id be lying if I said I knew exactly what type of material it was. The spokes I got from Hagon wheels and they came to £122 as they were stainless steel, 4 yeras on and still no sign of rust or corrosion. You can powdercoat it, it was more a warning that it will cost a bit to put it back together (bearing etc that only Yamaha make)

[@Thabronx_965]

Yeah they are shorter but not that much, they only drop the front which actually helps the rear look a lot higher.

[@X96motoX]

how mutch did it coust you in the end?

[@JakePulley95]

What size are your wheels? just got a dt 125 r and am revamping pretty much all of it, trying to decide what size to get?

[@SARCKO_]

nice job!👏👍

[@arkosw]

Where you buy rear plastics ?

[@dylandebaets4896]

how did you get all the plastics ?

[@samulimiettinen5577]

What is the name of that seat fabric? What spokes are thoes and how much did you pay for them? Why can't you powder coat the rear swingarm?

[@dx2477]

Gran restauracion me gusto como quedo la maquina ahora a rodar...

[@HaztaUK]

what mpg aprox do you get with that ?

[@baggie00001]

Where did you buy the rims from? What size are they?

[@rcfreak2471]

Whre did you get the spokes from?

[@Thabronx_965]

cheers man appreciate it
