Dr350 rebuild
 

hello.
I finally got the Dr i had been looking at the other week.

Now it arrived abit tattier than the pic and required new bolts for the header and rear mc but after a strip down and removal of everything and a imaculate clean up it should look good.

atm:
its in peices in the garage and the frame is off being powder coated a gun metal grey.
I have a set of 17" wheels on there way that i got dirt cheap.
other ods and sod like shorter mx fenders front and rear
carb jet kit and a big hole in my airbox.

Really just waiting on the frame and ive only had it a week.
More pics to follow as its no longer dirty and i can touch my camera.

very nice, could be a nice project! do you intend to use it afterwards?

Re: Dr350 rebuild
 

woo I'll be following this one closely :)

Re: Dr350 rebuild
 

I had one of these years ago, careful with short fender, if you loose much off the front when you're trying to get forward and weight the bars at any speed it will shoot clay up the front of your lid!

Re: Dr350 rebuild
 

im keeping the long one but have a nice short acerbis one now ( thankyou mr postman )
also the 17" rims turned up today some some piccys will be in order later.

Re: Dr350 rebuild
 

I have been looking for one of these. nice job will be watching intently :)

Re: Dr350 rebuild
 

What are the 17" wheels from? Did they do a road biased DR350?

Re: Dr350 rebuild
 

Looking good so far :thumbsup: will be interested to see how it turns out

Slight derail but how hard is it to modify 1 of these to a supermoto? I've been hankering after a small SM for a while and the DRZ400-SM took my fancy but ain't got that kind of dough
