    1973 DT 175

    Just saw one of these pop up locally. Guy is saying to make an offer. It looks like your typical nightmare project, but anyone know about these bikes? Would it be worth it to try and get it for a couple hundred bucks?

    Sold / Found / Inactive - 1972 Frame and Swingarm

    I picked up a 1972 frame and swingarm for free. It has a crack on the left side footpeg mounting area. (Pics below). It has some pretty heavy rust and pitting, and the rear loop is very rusted and pitted, so much that there is a small hole in it. I had a welder take a look and he said it could...

    Turns out it's a 72....

    I had a local welder/fabricator stop by and look the frame. He said he could fix it up no problem. However, I've decided I'm gonna move on from this particular frame/project. If I had the skills and equipment to tackle it all myself, I'd hang on to it. So....if any wants a free 1972 frame, let...

    Sold / Found / Inactive - 78' 277 Rephase $1200

    Still for sale? Looks like another one in the background too?

    Turns out it's a 72....

    I mean, it was free, so other than a little road trip to get it, I can't complain. I still want to totally clean it, and strip it down just to have something to do.

    Turns out it's a 72....

    Yeah...I'm gonna have a local guy come by today to take a look and see how much it'd be to weld that up. Not sure it's gonna be worth it. Just comparing it to my 75' frame it looks real flimsy. If I can get papers for it then maybe it'd be worth it to save the neck for someone that needs one...

    Turns out it's a 72....

    Went out for about an hour tonight. I took the swing arm off. Not too bad. A little surface rust but otherwise in good shape. The swing arm pivot bolt actually looks in really good shape too. The grease zerks busted off so I’ll have to drill them out. The frame is pretty rusty with some heavy...

    Turns out it's a 72....

    ok, good to know! Wowza! Scary cracks. I’ll definitely have to inspect this one. I’m not planning a full resto no Matter what! Lol. I Havent got the patience for that. Was just thinking of a fun way to spend money I don't have. I was thinking of a modern(ish) fork, Like an R6/R1 to keep It...

    Kimda what I was thinking..but was also thinking of wheter or not the 72 is a good frame for a cafe or scrambler

    Turns out it's a 72....

    Well...we all have the bug here, so when a frame with a swingarm popped up near by, I jumped on it. I was told it was a 78, so I didnt have any hesitations about cutting it up a little to make a cafe or scrambler. I wasnt planning on any major chops, but mostly removing unneeded tabs, brackets...

    White Trash Bobber Resurection and Top end rebuild...IT RUNS!!!!!

    Could prob post this in the "What did you do today" thread, but I guess its good here too. Now that the bike seems to be running pretty well, aside from some basic maintenance and carb tuning, I got back to the last few punchlist items; wrapping any exposed wires, and covers for the electronics...

    White Trash Bobber Resurection and Top end rebuild...IT RUNS!!!!!

    I finally got it all buttoned up enough to go for an actual ride. There's still a few things to do cosmetically, like wrap some of the wiring, and make a cover for the electric tray and various bits like that. Mechaincally, I'll change the oil, and adjust the cam chain and valves and will...
