So I picked up a 1979 DT100 for a "winter project" a few weeks ago to keep me sane when the snow starts to fly. Let me start by saying that I am no bike builder but a guy who lives to "tinker" and build stuff. Not having a huge need for me having an enduro, I want to make it into an around town cafe style bike. I will be doing a complete tear down and rebuild and adding my changes and variations as they come to me.
Being a father of three, this will be a low budget build so don't expect too much. ;D It will be a complete teardown and rebuild. I do have some plans to make my own custom seat and a few extra mods up my sleeve. I have never been a guy who wants to be like everyone else when it comes to my bikes and vehicles, so it will be different. They say the 100cc will not make a great street bike, but I will disagree and say it will be a blast around town. My last bike was a 1200cc Yamaha Warrior so I am familiar with rear wheel HP.
We are all here for our passion of bikes and the way I look at it, it doesn't matter what you have or what it looks like as long as you are happy!
I would love the help with the inner workings of the DT from you all "when" the need arises. If you are interested, I will post the build up here. If not, I will not take the time. I would love to show off what I will be doing from beginning to end if anyone wants to check it out!
I say what I have, because I tried to post the build on another forum and got absolutely blasted by a bunch of narrow minded folks because my ideas did not conform to theirs!
