Sorry, what gas tank are you using??

[@brucesmotorcycleshop3729]

Hi, the tank is from a Yamaha XS400 2A2 😉

[@callumthomas653]

Bruce's Motorcycle Shop 1978 yz tank fits nice too

What front fork are you guys using?

[@brucesmotorcycleshop3729]

RMZ 250 😊 from 2011 I think. We made a custom stem to make it fit in the DR frame. Hope that helps. Thanks for your comment. I'm. Planning on making a new DR video soon but we're both a bit busy atm.

@@brucesmotorcycleshop3729 Thx man! I'm doing a very similar build on a DR650 -92 so all help is super appreciated! But unfortunately I got a YZ450 front end to work with so I guess it will need a lot of modification. Very nice build you guys doing. Waiting for the next ep :)

@@jenshansen1006 no worries, sounds good with your project! I love those old Dr650s! The Yz450 forks will work just as good, you'll also have to make a new stem I guess and use DR bearings and that's it. For the front wheel we used the RMZ hub and let someone lace new Supermoto wheels on it. I also made the forks 20mm shorter placing a spacer on the cartridge shaft and readjusting the spring preaload clip position to keep a DR length and have a better geometry to start with.

@@brucesmotorcycleshop3729 Sounds easy when you write it in text :) But I think I will turn a new stem on a lathe and press that into the YZ fork. Nice wheel setup! Looking very symetrical. I will see if I need to shorten the fork aswell. Thanks a lot for the respons!
