White Brothers DR400T

[aehunger]

Merry christmas fellas,
Can anyone tell me where to get a set of the side covers for the DR400.I need them in white...are these available at all in NZ?

[cloggy]

 NOS turns up now and then but that's as far as it goes worldwide I think. I may have some decent originals that could be sprayed

[SON]

I have some decent blue ones in Newcastle NSW

I got three brand new sets a few years back through my local suzuki dealer they came in black as black plastic.

they were for a DR500 1983 dont know if they are the same you could look up the part numbers through.

I did get a set off suzi spares in melbourne one came in black and one was painted white over the black plastic.

I just left mine black for something diffrent and you dont have to worry about paint coming off.

Happy new year all,
Our local suzuki dealer has no part numbers earlier than 1996. Can some one please post a link to a site where I might search for original part numbers that way i can approach suzuki with the parts im after. Failing that is there another more available cover that could be modified to fit?

Try this site.

Still available new   Lhs & Rhs .....*  note they come black and will need to be painted
Pretty sure the Dr 500 covers are the same deal.

Nah mate the Elves have been busy on the RM185 and Cr250RB but it is in the pipeline, rediscovered my WB DR400 pipe in a box as I was building the new carport.

So have trick pipe, WB swinger, Simons forks and roughie set of 16" Foxy's so the bits to the puzzle are slowly coming together. Just debating to ditch the original side covers and go for RM T ones as the originals are pretty weak.

Can you post a photo of the pipe?
I have searched every combination of DR/SP/DRM/RMH Specials looking at the best combinations of seats, tanks, exhausts and side covers to get it looking just right,
The best looking is the TM125 tanked RMH,
But the late RN tanked 500 is the most period correct,
Still not sure on frame covers and exhaust, I have several Supertrapps and reverse cone megs just not entirely happy with any yet.

Yeah I probabaly like the DRM on the 4th page of this thread the best, like the pseudo HL ally side covers. Have spare TM125 tank in my war chest so may use that.

I will take a photo of the pipe for you

Yes I agree that RMH is one of the best VMX Thumpers I have seen,
So good that I am building one identical
Just need an Original Preston Petty front guard and an exhaust and I am ready to start,
Ola thanks for that photo, I have not seen that before,

[ola_martin]

Not suprised, they're taken in Sweden..

Do you have any close ups or any other info or links??
