Re: Dr350 rebuild
well the shock is in and set pretty good i think. was hitting the bumps and holes in the road and it felt silky smooth.
Also the shock change has dropped the rear alot so have put the forks through 5mm maybe another 5 after tomorrow big run on it. anyways decals today! and on the bike...sits alot lower which is nice and abit more sm'y rather than mx high end. The tank needs somthing so come monday when ive got some free time again im thinking 2 wedges per side as i ve still got aload of vinal sheet left. |

Re: Dr350 rebuild
erm not alot really put some decals on the tank to break it up but it will need a re spray come ester so will have to wait till then but nothing special.
Came back to uni last weekend so no more riding for 2 months. but since it got on the road have put about 1500miles on it in about a month and dear god i have never ever had so much fun on a bike. Not to fast but because it only 350 you ride it hard everywhere and really push it and with tyres that are stickyer than a sticky thing on a hot sticky day i cant complain in the slightest. also when buggering through london in bloody flooding rain i dont really have to slow down like the any of the bigger bikes as its so light and nimble and only puts down about 35-40hp now. all i can say is GET A SUPERMOTO NOW PEOPLE OF THE ORG.!! |

Re: Dr350 rebuild
also forgot to mention made a nice little A frame with braces for the rear fender as it wobbled and flex around like hell.
plan to make one for the front but could be more of a challenge due to its odd shape. that and a massive strip down and check over come june when its toasty outside. |
