Mine's getting closer - all being well the proper tank will be back on it shortly and the RM80 sidepanels will loo less bodged on

 

Actually got it to move under it's own power for the first time today too

 

Got some fresh tyres to fit too and the carb's taking some settign up but it's a whole lot further on than it was.

Am finally about there now. Got front tyre to fit in a few min and front sprocket cover to make and if I get chance before next weekend, a bit of a bashguard. Forgot when I changed the gearing that the new back tyre was loads taller so have got an even smaller front sprocket on the way - want to at least be able to pull second through the woods this time

 

Know it was never intended to be a proper enduro bike but there's just something about the little DR's that I like. At least next Saturday it's all pre 1990, Trail bikes or Beginners so the going will be a bit less heavy than it will be for the modern bikes on the Sunday

 

Temporarily admitted defeat with the original carb so it's running the pumper off the black one and it seems to be loads better.

4 strokes are a new thing to me but definitely can see the appeal.

I'm kinda on the lookout for a pre 1990 DR 200 (or maybe even a 200 engine to drop into the blown up black one ) but there's a bit of me still want's another whizz bang 2 smoker....
