Good to hear that kro, looking forward to seeing the finished project

I have the second bike, and can now start stripping it to get the bits I need for this bike, and at the same time, I have started a second edition thread for the other DR, which I can make a runner out of, albeit a bit of a patchy one.

Looking forward to the pic's, though I'm mildly curious what will be left of the 2nd one as delivered by the time you've got it finished

I reckon we should do a ride once this is all done, I figure I can't be the only one who thinks you deserve a good ride & getting shouted a beer afterwards.

Thanks Taki, although with you in Paihia, I'm thinking our ride together is going to be difficult :P

I've updated my little picture collection a bit to include the second bike.

I just checked out your little photo collection, that 'new' bike is going to take some work!! I will still post some photos of my new DR, but having trouble getting it from Hamilton to Napier, hopefully this week!

Wow, the second bike looks nice (figuratively speaking)

The RG project is going slow cause of lack of money and time due to school. Eventually I'll have the money for sandblasting and powdercoating and the project will be back running

Kro,
I finally got it home, these pics were taken today, 30mins before getting bloody filthy at the local river! life is good!

**kro** · 24th February 2007, 20:31

Dude, I want a DR350 so bad, I just love them, that looks awesome !!!!!!!!

The damn thing looks near new, it's in outstanding condition.

**eastlight** · 25th February 2007, 06:43

Yeah, and my challenge is to keep it in that condition!

The mighty DR has had a heart transplant.

I woke up this morning, and thought "f*ck it", I am not waiting to fiddle around with swapping good top ends onto my original good bottom end, and all that drama, I am going to make a damn side cover gasket, to replace the leaky one that the running motor has, and just jam the damn thing into my good DR frame.

So, I did just that............... still got a couple of hours work to get it to where I could start it, hopefully I get a chance to do that today as well.

Completion date is nigh.........watch this space.
