That's worth fixing!  :o

I reckon LT/AT/CT1. Oil tank is on the right on a DT.

I'm telling you it's not a DT. The DTs have the autolube tank on the RHS and the chome toaster rack on the left.

The AT/CTs have the oil tank on the left. The also have the single back-bone frame all the way to the swing-arm.

Ergo, if it's a Yamaha, I reckon it is (was!) an AT/CT.

Wilson was Tom Hanks' imaginary friend in the film Castaway who he ultimately lost (he was a volleyball  :o)
somebody certainly "cast away" that rusty yammie  ;)

Thanks for the clairrification Nath, was that just the 175 that was  that configuration or were the 250's and 125's the same ?
 I seem to remeber them being the odd man out for some reason

The 125 was the odd man out for about 6 months.

There are two 74 DT125s - one type is a mildly rehashed AT2 with a light green tank, the other is a 125 version of the blue DT175 that I posted a pic of, with a bronze/metallic burgundy tank. I guess they had a big pile of left-over AT2s to sell off...
The early type seems to be quite a rare bike - I reckon I come across ten times as much brown-tank stuff as green-tank stuff.
