Pretty happy with my new purchase, one that has never been a farm bike and came with new tyres

Tonight the pure unobtanium bling comes out and the transformation starts.  ;)

 I'm very interested in what carb you'll use White Bros did a 36 kit back in the day but I've lost the jetting specs Tom White sent me. I'm curious to know just how much difference the carb swap makes.

Yeah i had that in mind for phase 2.... VM Mikuni would probably do the job just like with the HL

Though in saying that there is a life timesd worth of second hand FCR s available off blown modern MXers that would be far superior

 Some guys I know in the UK race a DR with a modern carb. they didn't even rejet it. They ran a virtually bogstock DR at Farleigh Castle and came in abut 2/3rds down, must have been the cheapest bike out there.

I would say a Keihin FCR would be the go but may not be legal in the Evo class in this country.

Hey Guys what do you think a DR 400 in a PE175Z frame all above average would be worth?

not sure Frankenbikes tend to have beauty in the eye of the beholder thing, but are often not worth as much as the sum of the bikes they were robbed from.... $1000 maybe.... given the PEDR is a bit of an unknown

 A modern carb isn't legal here either, but if you're not up the pointy end no one cares

I haven't got any more pics yet, but it's the Curtis SP400 posted earlyer in this thread, it's going to particles now, for a little makeover...
Haven't desided on style yet, I guess the numberplaterearfender and no sidecovers is the most correct on a Curtis, but I quite liked the look with the HL style covers that where on it...

And the benifit of finning is that it looks like a proper supercool british special thumper!  ;D
