White Brothers DR400T

Looked like this before disassembly...

Good bike, not keen on the CR tank,
I think a TM125 tank is the answer,

[ola_martin]

Got a -78 RM125 alu tank that will be tried on, the bike was built on the Curtis Honda jig, that's why the CR tank...

[crs-and-rms]

i think the tm tank would look great or, a 77b tank could work to, still a very nice bike

[JohnnyO]

That's very cool Ola, I'd like to see it with the '77 RM tank. Is this bike to be ridden?

[ola_martin]

Don't know, not in anger anyway , it's going back up on era correct suspension, fenders etc. first. So we'll see, the previous owner raced it...

Curtis seems to have put everything in an HL frame except a KLX engine 

Cool bike would look good with TM or YZ125C tank but then again its a bit tame...... polished B50MX tank would look cool with the flip up cap.

Hi Riders,
If servicing DR400 front forks what is typically required? Ive done a bit of investigation and think Oil Seal, Ring Stopper, Dust Seal and Case Dust Seal would be sufficient. Can someone with experience verify this please. Also, are these seals available aftermarket or is it the same cost to go direct to Suzuki NZ.

Cheers Alex

Alex .... budget fork seal and dust kits are available via  "Pyramid parts" ebay  I think it's "Krisodemus" or someting like that is your Kiwi agent

Hi there,
thanks for the tip we have pyramid parts here in NZ too and I can get fork seals from them at a reasonable. Are aircaps available for these forks still? They are mentioned in the white bros hot up for DR400 bikes.

Cheers

  The damping is pretty confused. If you're going to improve the stock wimpy forks I'd get YSS cartridge emulators.
Whatever, just check earlier posts before you decide

Gidday,
Is a rear guard similar to the one pictured on the MX action mag DR400 available anywhere? My rear guard is knackered and am looking at options to replace.

Hallo, I`m new here in this forum.  I am in the progress of putting a dr 400 engine in a Suzuki rm 125 (1979) frame.
Here is a picture of my two Suzuki rm 125 with Honda xl 185 engines in them, I will be putting the dr 400 engine in the bike with the Alu tank.
Please disregard my English, it isn’t that good.

Here are some pictures of the frame, progress is going slow.
