I'm building the same color now! A replica for my dad. He had this bike when he was 16 years old. It did 107kmh

Hello, i was wondering if this bike could be bought or is it going into a collection! Wonderful job! Thank you.

Hello, it will go into the collection and can be taken outside in good weather. Thanks!

Did you paint the plastics? I am also rebuilding one in red/black, but the color is faded on the plastics.

[@watermillroadsgarage]

Hello, I did indeed have the two plastic side covers painted. They were also too weathered. The front and rear mudguard are still original plastic. The stickers are under the clear coat. Then they cannot be damaged if you sit with your knees against the tank or if you spill gasoline on them. And a special primer for plastic was used.

Is it the original carburator?

[@watermillroadsgarage]

It is an original Teikei Y16P carburetor. This comes from a DT80 MX. I also still have the original Teikei Y14P. It runs better with the 16mm.
