DT1 MX project

Rather than making the late DT fender fit, I bought an early fender which fits the frame.


The rear mount is the main difference between the two. The late fender fits the early frame, but touches the frame loop if you don't modify the mounts.


It is ready for teardown. I stuck some 13.5" shocks on, the length I'll likely use on the finished bike. The shocks I'd had on it before are just over 14", which looked a bit too long. This is a very simple project, maybe 5% total hours in mockup and 95% finish work, so a lot to do. I'll try to get the steel parts ready fairly quickly, and do the engine, forks and wheels over the winter. This is just a woods/play bike, and should be a blast to ride when done.
