Free crap.
« on: February 15, 2008, 09:13:39 pm »
Having a bit of a clean up next week, and everything marked with an asterix (*) will get ditched if nobody wants it before the dump run.

Yes, a lot of this is just rubbish, but it's potentially useable rubbish, so I don't want to throw it out until I know that no-one wants it... (remember Quickie getting roasted for the TM tanks!)

1. DT400 monoshock frame, air box and forks (forks bent and rusty, with no springs)*.
2. 18x1.85 36 hole steel rims x2 (or maybe three). Typical scratches, and some rust, but definitely useable*.
3. DT125/175A 21" front wheel. Rusty and as ugly as sin but round and spins*.
4. Lots of 21" and 18" tyres. Either minimal tread (say, 30% left) or cracked (and sometimes both!). Knobbies and a couple of trials unis*
5. Pretty good FIM/Six Day rear tyre. I think it's 130/90x18 or similar. About 60% tread left.
6. YZ250E frame and swing-arm. Frame has on dented tube (below the engine) and swing arm has some fairly serious gouges from a wayward chain, but both are still useable.
7. DT175F air box.
8. Bent original Yamaha handle bars. Both the chrome DT type and the black YZ type. Maybe useful if you know how to straighten them!?*
9. Scabby YZ-D/E/F front guards x2. One has a spilt, other is OK, but both are powdery. White.
10. Unknown rear sprocket x2 - they look like the aftermarket ones to suit YZ125A~F/DT125/DT175, but doesn't fit either (bolt pattern is a few mm out). 6-stud pattern, double drilled for both 8mm and 10mm studs. Good condition, I just don't know what they suit. Takes 520 chain.
11. Unknown rear sprocket that looks like YZ250D~K/TT500 etc, but doesn't fit. Doesn't fit DT250 monoshock either. Good condition.
12. Front brake backing plates with broken and repaired cable holder bits. To suit YZ-D+. Single leading shoe. Also have some broken but not repaired ones.
13. Black front guard. Good nic, maybe from a TF125 or something? Very wide at the front, narrow at the rear.
14. DT175 monoshock rear brake backing plates. Will also fit YZ125D~F.
15. A couple of pairs of early 1980s YZ/IT foot pegs*.
16. RT1/DT1 upper triple clamp.
17. AG/AT1/CT1/DT25/175 twinshock triple clamps x2 sets (upper and lower)*.
18. 34mm forks in pieces, originally from DT250A. Rusty tubes*.
19. Forks from DT125A (will also fit bikes mentioned in #17). Rusty tubes.*
20. Triple clamps from YZ125D/E/F/G, crusty condition (suit 36mm leading axle forks).
21. Plastic levers galore!*  :D
22. Rear rim from YZ250K. 18x2.50, gold. Corroded on tyre/in side - looks bad, but don't really know how bad until it's cleaned up*.
23. Forks from late twinshock/early monoshock DT175 (non-leading axle type) 31mm, I think. Yeah, these ones have rusty tubes too*.
24. 1.60x18 steel rim. Same condition as those mentioned in #2*.
25. New fibreglass side number plates to suit YZ250/400D/E.
26. RHS MX250/360A foot peg and mount. Rusty but functional.
27. IT-H/J front guard. Chalky (would come up alright) but has big split on the rear half.*
28. IT-K/L/N front guard. Chalky (would come up alright) but has big split on the rear half.*
29. IT465H/J fuel tank, with big split on top (can be plastic welded?)*.
30. IT465J frame. 5L5. Has rear loop removed, and a few small bits of butchery, but seems straight and crack free. Includes lidless airbox and compliance plate.
31. Honda kickstart lever. Dunno what it is from, but something bigger than a 125. Steel, RHS. Folds in nicely, but splines are a bit ordinary.*
32. Suzuki front hub. From early/mid 1980s RM or PE, I think. Hub seems very good. Includes 35 (not 36) spokes if you want them.*
33. Honda forks. 31mm? Leading axle, look like CT125/185. Excellent chrome, not seized (but probably need seals). Inc front brake backing plate.



Take one, take all, I don't care - if it all ends up in the recycling, then its no skin off my nose...
 
Bits are in Yass NSW, and can also be picked up from Belconnen ACT.
Will send off at your expense, but not if I have to fart-arse about too much...

Quicky certainly remembers. His learned a lot since those days.  I will still be keeping a look out for TM BILL at CD5 just incase he comes looking for me with 2 TM tankS to hang off my balls while im swinging from that gum tree.  ;D ;D

I don't know... I hate the bloody things, so I've never stopped to count them.
Pretty sure there is at least four of 'em, but maybe more.
Post or pick-up?

i dont know what brand the ones i had but i thought they were pretty good actually. i think they may of been sunline de-handlers as i can remember the distinctive bend they had.

Plastic levers were the worst of the failed experiments of the 70s. Sunline, Preston Petty, Webco all made them and they were all shit. I bought a DT1 off a guy a few years ago with Sunline plastic levers and the clutch felt terrible. A simple change to an alloy lever fixed the clutch. I've also got a few laying around in a drawer in the shed. While on the same subject, I noticed a bloke selling NOS plastic sprockets on eBay the other day. Does anyone remember how shithouse they were?

Lozza that particular bike is in the planning stages as we speak. We were originally going to use my basket case TS90 to display all that was hokey about the 70s. We had hoped to have the little thing ready for CD5 but our serious projects pushed it out of the way. We've also had a rethink on the subject bike as the TS90 is too good a bike to use as a display of the ugly and ungainly. We are now thinking of using an XL175 fitted with one of those ugly Vesco skinny/fat tanks, plastic sprocket, plastic levers, preston petty guards a red metalflake vinyl Bates aftermarket seat and whatever other dumb and ugly things we can find. We may have it as Klub Kevlars Kourtesy bike at next years CD6.

Couple of things added, and last call for the shit marked with an asterix.
