Nada , I take it you have found a Dr 400 frame ....if so read thru DRM postings
Rear   was a Rm graft  plus Rm swing arm ....not off the same model bike.

EML    PE 250 -400 forks  are a straight swap into a Dr 500 ;)

Pe triples are the way to go .   Or even a set of Rm 125 -250  years 79 -80  ( 38mm fork) will do
and just change over steering stem    ;)

Oldfart,
Not sure, the article is on a rm456 fitted with a xt (sr) 500 motor.
