2 Strokes Down Under

Doooooo iiiiiittt

We’ve probably all reached that “Gollum” state of mind. I have s mate, same (50ish) age as me who just hoovers up all kinds of shit, it never sees the light of day again. I am semi guilty, but finally got one proj (LC) back as a daily rider and when a few hundred bucks come free the next one (DT175)...

Looking forward to whatever Bosuzoku madness you come up with

I’ve started watching these two this week: Powervalve Pete’s Garage And S Garage Pete has introduced himself on here and joined our community, and the collection of barnfind bikes that he’s fixing up and learning as he goes probably mirrors many of our experiences! S Garage is a super-tidy one man t...

Put some other clocks on which don't have the orrible droning noise, dropped a drop or two of chain lube into the boss on the back of the clocks in both the "new" clocks and the existing clocks. Will put the original clocks back on at some point to see if the lubrication sorted the noise. ...

Thanks fellas

Mine is FUBAR.
Anyone got a good clutch basket for a DT175 they’d be happy to sell?
1987 bike, so its the weird 1980’s “tick” shaped bike, not the earlier versions

Left hand engine cover / generator cover / stator cover
Don’t care about paint so long as the cover is in good condition.
