“The intent was to put together a respectable bike that I could use over the winter months plus have some fun off-road. In the end I gave all the bits I had left over to a mate who has built his own DT. I’ve since added new mudguards, original exhaust system (I couldn’t stand the racket that the non-standard system made), a new cylinder head, clocks surround, headlamp grill, etc, etc.

“The indicators are safely tucked away to avoid damage when off-roading. The model must be one of the last ones made (X-reg) and may be an end-of-line special model or possibly an import. The DT is as much fun to ride now (on- or off-road) as I remember in 1979 and is great fun to chuck around the bends.”
