I think it's cool as hell Nick! Way to go, bud.

may have sorted the solution , measured everything and stuck with 250mm brake disc but had adapter plate machined and will try on sunday to fit and start the bike - also machinined 5mm off the contact area on the caliper-
tank came back from the painters and removed all dents and painted in retro white with 1985 rgv 500

looks better, still is raked out good i think. what rear fenders you planing on using...white LT250r might look and line up good.
tank is on and fired up the bike- it runs nice but has no compression and can kick over like its a 2 stroke
125 - will remove cylinder head cover and see if decompression lever is sticking . Just need some luck now . Got the front brake on still some minor adjustments to do - but its on and looks ok
bike is finally is finished and gone for mot testing , rides nice plenty of power with new wiseco piston and is very comfortable without being very tippy to ride. Placstics are all 86 260r with major section removed without comprimising strength and sheet aluminium plate for re-enforcement were needed .

if you dont want to mod the frame to get rid of rake you can get costom tripple clamps made from aluminum
Sweet Dr350 or is it a dr450...jk
Haave you ridden it? how is it?
I know old thread, but somehow I must have missed this. I would try and work you front end out a little better. You would be amazed by how much the rake affects your handling, that is ALOT of rake.

I’d love to do this! I hate my dr350 never ride it, trying to get rid of it. If I could make it into a 3 wheeler I’d absolutely start using it again! Too bad I don’t have the know-how, time, or anything. Wouldn’t know where to start, parts to get, etc.
