I just picked up my DR350 2 days ago! Owner had it restored and then let it sit for almost 3 years. Need less to say, tank rust is my first obstacle.. I’m planning basically the same for mine as you are for yours-the only difference is my plans are for the desert and getting into more remote spots to metal detect!
@@thejacksonbentley lol! I'm actually not either. I live in Texas but I go to Arizona frequently to prospect in the mountains. I've been bumming off of my buddies who have extra ATVs, but situations change and now I find myself needing something to ride when I'm out there. I don't think I would ride it all the way out there, probably just carry it in my truck, but I definitely want to set the bike up to carry as much gear as possible for both prospecting and whatever trips I might cook up here at home. And of course make it look cool too, lol!
I used to have a Dr350..excellent bikes, 6 speed box, Air cooled...much better in my opinion the a DRZ... You will Love this bike once you have it dialed in.....
@@thejacksonbentley The DRz replaced the dr350...it is a 4 stroke bike...but water cooled and a 5 speed ger box....also has a taller seat height...In my opinion the dr350 is a better bike....
Good luck man I am rebuilding the motor on my XT600 almost zero experience building motors but excited to get it done. Last year I put progressive springs in the fork, did seals, and some fresh oil. Not sure they ever changed it!
I used to have one. I put too much money into it before I got a more modern bike that does a lot better. 441 big bore, 36mm Mikuni carb and white bros pipe, rebuilt shock and forks. Ran really strong but still outdated.
Following! Just got one myself
I live in Mexico and have a DR350 and a YZ250f....i love the DR. Its my main goto bike for all trails. I get offers all the time for it. Lol
@@LosVRC I want your YZ! 🤣 love those bikes

@@SNxr400r interesting, i never knew that. My 5’6 ass couldn’t handle any taller of seat height anyway
Looks fun! Excited to see what goes on with the project!
Stick around and you will soon! Tell ya friends too
These are cool, better than some new heavy bike offroad. Hell I wish someone still made a bike that simple, light with just enough power for the road.

Good for you! I’m going to start tearing into mine tomorrow. My only hold-up has been trying to find a good way to record everything
