Pretty self explanatory. I'm after a carb, tank and seat to fit an SP370. '78 or '79.
Doesn't have to be OEM carby and DR400 may even work?
Also after DR400 bash plate and the small rectangle headlights that came on the DR370. Maybe RS250 and DS80 may fit??.
pm, email or call me on 0410 504 815 if you have something for me.
Thank you. :)

i used to sell alot of std 34mm tt500 carbs to the sp boys and they worked well with a pipe and opened up airbox,they bolt up easy being from the same family of mikuni range and you gain a 4mm increase in carb size

Hi Tony,
That motor I gave you a while back now did you get the carby with it? and did it go I was told it was a good goer. Just very interested. If you didnt get the carby with it, it must be in my shede some where.
Cheers

Bash plate and carb available , no seat
-
Thanks fatboy. No, there was no carby on that one. But you're right, I did pull that engine down and it all looked pretty reasonable in there. ;D
pm sent oldfart. Thank you.
I've also had an email from a guy with a seat, so I've got nearly everything I need within 12 hours! Thanks fellas.

What's the project Tony T?
I may have one of those DR headlight assys but I think it is cracked below the number plate.
-
Nothing too exciting EML. Just want to put together a DR370.
We didn't get them in Australia but most SP370 parts are the same.
The headlight I'm after doen't have a number plate. Like the photo below.

Good stuff, Steve. I've had a few SP's and know them fairly well, but haven't gone down the path of modifying them much.
I've got parts and workshop manuals if you need anything out of them and a lot of spare engine parts.
oldfart is pretty clued up on modifying these things.
Keep us posted how you go with it. ;D

Steve, I'm picking up the bits for my DR500 sidecar project tomorrow and the guy has some SP400 stuff. I will see what he is interested in parting with. I know he has one SP400 he is getting ready to use as a ride-to-work hack as I repaired the frame for him.
-
I have SP 400 frame looking for a NEW home before it makes land fill ......Free , yes free.

TonyT I've had a look through this blokes shed and seen a SP370 engine so he might have other bits Shoalhaven motorcycle Wreckers ph 02 4422 4537 jimson

Thanks jimson
The only things I think I'm going to need now is a tank and a DS80 (?) headlight.
But I wouldn't say no to side covers and guards.
I'll give them a call tomorrow.
-
Thanks to LWC, I have now tracked down a headlight.
Thanks all for the help. :)
-
Thanks EML, i already have two 370's to play with. One for vmx and the other for dirt track (eventually).
Tell me more about your DR500 sidecar, i have one of those (DR500 that is) but am looking to pass it on. Some of the sidecar boys tried to get me to passenger at CD6 i was half keen but scared shitless...ha ha. Is this highjacking?
Tony, i'll definitely keep you updated, vmx bike first as it will be the easiest, then we'll see where we go from there.

Geoff Udy and I raced a DR500 with alloy sidecar for a few years back in the mid eighties. We won a state title and finished second in a national 500cc class in '83. It was quite quick and handled well, this is before the true lightweights got going in '86 or '87.
That outfit was sold to the Neilsen bros from Beerwah and has never been seen again >:( ???
I hope to be able to replicate that sidecar and have some fun.

Hi , i am wrecking a basically complete sp 370 , also dr 400 and 500,s complete bikes if you are still after parts .
Thanks Mark
-
Hi Mark. There is a bit of them going about. I have been offered a few in the last couple of months.
I'll keep you in mind as I will need more parts as the project comes together.
Is your Dr500 an S or an X. Either road trail or enduro??
What are the gas tanks like as they usually rust out quickly.
-
hi , the 500 is the enduro model , but the tank has gone already .
Thanks
-
Hey Mark, I replied to your email a couple of days ago. Did you get that?
-
Is there a good rear wheel in the mix as mine came with 1 wheel and two spare hubs but nothing complete.
-
Hey Mark
Any word on those DR bits you were looking for?
