great story. it was my first two stroke. I was 13. My dad bought one new in 74 and was horrified when i removed all of the lights and street stuff, put preston petty fenders and number plates on it.
I just picked up a 75 DT175 , been in a garage for 15 years , I bring her home tomorrow, can't wait.. Great video! Beautiful job on the restoration as well !
Wish you would’ve taken us on this journey! Looks amazing though, very inspiring. I’m restoring my grandpa’s old 1974 Kawasaki F7. So it was a competitor to this. I have to admit, I love the look of these better. Great job!
My first was the 73 AT125 with the 175 top end just picked up a 75 a 175 like yours 3 weeks ago done up for dirt no lights what a fun bike to trail ride .
My first bike was a '77 DT100. Got it for a tenner (£10) from a friend. Was great fun until another friend seized the engine because they put veggie oil instead of mineral oil into the tank. The two oils when mixed under heat and pressure become rubber... 😥I need to find another one.
Looks beautiful. I know it’s been a few years, but I am rebuilding the same bike and wanted to ask, did you have to change the jetting? If so, what size jets are you using? Thank you.
I just scored a 75 DT 175 same color but running and complete. Problem is none the electronics work except the horn. Yes, new 6v battery installed. Any recommendations appreciated.
Hey there, is that a 2.75-19 tire on the front? I am having a hell of a time finding a replacement for this bike and was wondering if I could just use a 2.75-19 on the stock 3.00-19 I have. Thanks!!!!
