[guernz]

Is this the bike you mentioned in my thread about turning into a vintage dirttracker? It would be perfect. 8)

 

[DesmoBro]

Sure is Guernz!....I was thinking the same thing!

 

[deepwaterimports]

[Ryanh]

Keen to see where this goes

 

[JustinLonghorn]

I am stoked for ya, sir. Let's see where the madness takes you.

 

[DesmoBro]

So I recently traded a pair of Dirt Bike Goggles For this 1995 KE100....When I got it in the car it didn't even look like a motorcycle and it's really just mocked up for Picture purposes gonna need a ring a Piston and Honing and fork rebuild ....and?...and....DT is looking the same way maybe even more involved....Not even sure I have Room For All of This As I have a 1977 Ducati Making its way home shortly I have this KZ over here (taking up all the build space) and I Just picked up another 1960 Ducati Frame (Super sweet Bevel/Desmo Possible Project).....Don't really have the $$$ to sink into all of them or any of them for that matter ....Anyone want to Trade?

Justin.....The Madness has Spoken....

 

[stroker crazy]

I wonder what it would cost to ship a bike to Australia ....

Been looking for a DT, haven't been able to find one, getting desperate! (not desperate enough do deal with international freight ... yet)

Crazy

 

[DesmoBro]

A buddy of mine is trying to Move Down Unda ....I'll tear it down and pack his bag for him

 

[DesmoBro]

started splitting the cases and some how whatever was causing the motor not to turn over moved and now it turns over...Still gonna split em and clean it up a bit possibly a new piston and rings for the beast as well

 

[stroker crazy]

Will be starting the teardown on mine next week:

Of course I'm blaming you for putting the idea in my head!

Crazy

 

[JustinLonghorn]

Ha, awesome.

 

[DesmoBro]

Woot Woot...Now it's my Fault!

 

[DesmoBro]

Sooo Umm How did this go back together? ???

 

[john83]

Mmm...good stuff.

 

[Flugtechnik]

I don't think they used golf balls anywhere in that engine.

:/

 

[Speedshop]

nice bike!

 

[DesmoBro]

anyone ever zipped up one of these DT cases b4?....I just threw the new trans gears in and now it's time to press the case onto the crank....any special technique i should use? Or just brute force and ignorance?
