I love it when a plan comes together….

By sheer luck it turns out that the DR400 and KX250 steering stems have exactly the same bearings, so it will make the fork swap a lot easier. The DR stem is on the left. If anyone wants to do a fork swap then I came across this useful document located at:

Mounted rear tyre, seat & tank.

Thanks to inertia@PSB for donating the rear tyre (yes it is street legal) and after digging through all of my boxes of parts, I found the missing tank rubber today and mounted up the fuel tank. The lower image is exactly how the bike looks now, the upper images I have actually photoshopped the seat so it is thinner and improves the lines. My final tank ‘sticker’ does not work so well now. Its kind of lost in the whole thing, so the larger ‘sticker’ seems to work better. Back to the drawing board then....

The devil is in the detail. The devil is the time it takes to acheive it!
