1970 dt250 one lunger hardtail project.

[DRIVEN]

Are you going to be relocating the pegs and doing forward controls? Doesn't look like much of a lean angle right now. When I added floorboards to my bike it scraped in the corners unless I have the suspension all aired up.

[RedBanner]

Yeah, I plan to move some stuff still.
Heres the.list as of now.
Plan is to strip the rear off, DONE
Weld the 4 tubes to for the rear, DONE
Extend chain,
Make seat
,Make rear tank latch (currently held down by seat)
Move pegs, 
Extend rear brake, DONE
Make/extend shifter
,Move tach, DONE
Remove, front fender, DONE
Fluids,
Points (or cdi, one cylender so easy peasy)
Tires,
Ride.

Controls.and pegs are ptobably next.
Unless I find a chain breaker then all bets are off.

As for a lean angle..... yeah not a super lot. Lowest part is the peg assembly wich goes under the frame.
Its about 4 inches to the peg assembly, and it would have almost 5 to the next lowest point.

[RedBanner]

I need some chain...

[RedBanner]

Driven, here some lean angle with the stock pegs, the lowest point right now.

I should have more cpearence when I get those moved.

[RedBanner]

Repacked and sealed up the exaust,

Cant tell how much I took off but it was alot




Got the pipe so low that I can set both flat on the ground without hitting my leg on it.

[izzo]

this is coming along nicely man. I want to see it in person.


Any way you let me take it around the block when its done? I been looking around for a cheapy old school bike to copy off you

[RedBanner]

Doit! You should talk draker out of his cb650, those things are fast. Then cut it up, and hardtail it. Lolol
I need chain. But I can push you around the block while you rev it up.

My motor noises are pretty epic. You might think its real

I asked my buddies, nobody has chain laying around I got one more guy i'll ask and see.

[RedBanner]

Thanks man. Went up to the cycle shop and there all "uh.... we throw those away....." and had no interest in not throwing the next one away.

Cereal? what dicks.

I went to the cycle shop here in warrenton. I asked if they had any used coils off an old honda. "No, we usually throw those away when they go bad" then laughed at me. Seriously you fucking dicks. You tear shit down all the time, surely not every single honda you have torn apart was due to a bad coil.... n who just tears dirt bikes down and throws all the shit away? .........

[RedBanner]

Idk. I have an old honda frame with awsome forks. Got it for the rear sprocket lol. Its a small.sprocket that would boost my cruisein speed some. Tho it does 65 pretty easy now.

[RedBanner]

Pounded on the seat for an hour or so again. Im hating it less each time, learning more about bending the steel.
I was going to go out and move my pegs, but just stared at them for 45 minutes, then cut the.kickstand down instead.
Then started messing around with ideas for a rear "fender"
Not going to decide on that yet.

[izzo]

you going to leave the seat bare or put some padding on it at some point? around town probably ok. anything longer then that and your b-hole is going to hate you for 2 days.

[RedBanner]

I dont know. Putt springs under it. Possible wrapped in some.stuff. im totally wingin it bro.

[RedBanner]

Workin on my stand a bit.

[izzo]

coming out pretty sick actually. wat u using to do that?

[RedBanner]

A welder and a file.

[RedBanner]

Fiddled with shifter stuff tonight, what I wanted to acheive is going to be tuff. So I just brain stormed for a few hours. Then pounded on my seat for a while.

[izzo]

wish i had a dremel with some bits to lend you to ease that process a bit
