GFrench- Another 1971 DT250 Enduro Restoration was created by GFrench

As I mentioned earlier.. In addition the my Current 1971 DT1 250 MX bike that I am Restoring now (Other Thread Titled- GFrench- 1971 DT1F MX Restoration)....

I also have an ALL Orginal 71 DT1 250 Enduro that I will be Tearing Down and giving it a Fresh like new update.

I found this Bike a few years ago very close to my home in Colorado when we were living there... it is in very good shape and Runs perfectly- will be a very easy clean and restore bike.

Will be pretty cool to have the DT1 MX and this DT1 Enduro sitting next to each other when done.

Here are just a few starter pics- I am currently working on getting the Gas Tank- Oil Tank- Headlight Bucket and Ears ready for Paint- (Mandarin Orange).

Now that the MX Project is down to just a few more parts to put on- I can now starting taking this one apart..... More Updates and Pic's coming soon!

Were the chrome fork caps stock on the '71 DT? My '73 has them, and I think '72 also did. I was thinking '71 had black rubber, but I've been proven wrong many times....
