The Saga Continues!

I’ve continued to putter along on my DT175B barn find restoration-mod. Tonight I finished assembling a tail light from a different bike, though correct for this model. It started out pretty ugly, sorta tweaked, but mostly new rubber and a re-pop lens and it should work well on the bike!









The lens is slightly different than my sticker, but it’s also nice and shiny!

To be continued. On hold due first to a fall bike trip, followed by some medical procedures, then COVID and a messy garage.

Stay tuned!

When you painted the frame black what did you use?

I have two cans of semi gloss black, Rust-Oleum, painter's touch, 2x Ultra Cover paint + primer, spray cans laying around. Thinking about doing the same.
