Lovely old Bike, Can you still get parts for those ? From my era so Yep I love the old Trials & Enduro bikes & would love an old DT175.

Weathers mint here today & I have the day to myself so guess what I'm going to be doing all day. :D
 
Yet another puncture.

At least this time its when there is nothing left on the supercorsa`s :( But still enough for a couple of hundred miles to get me back in the swing of things.

Anyone used opono for biketyres ?

Need 190 rear and 120 front, thinking of trying the racetec`s this time.
 
Well, my Hornet's left fork leg is officially dead and I can't find any 2nd hand ones on eBay. I now have a bike with no forks, using up both my abba superbike stand and front lift taking up space on the driveway (can't move it into the garage because it's on the stand, unless I figure out some way to roll it back on some sticks or something).

**** old bikes. Had enough of them. This confirms why I buy new and keep on top of maintenance from the start. Had nothing but stuck and siezed parts since I got the thing.

Have you looked on Wemoto? They usually have fork legs, not second hand prices obviously but not crazy.
 
Thanks, just had a look, but no full fork legs on there. Only stanchion/separate parts and the rear shock.

I'm thinking I just store it up again and keep a watch on eBay for a single left fork. Was supposed to be a bit of cheap fun, and luckily I've not spent a huge amount of cash, but it's no longer fun and not worth the pain.

Youll soon pickup a second hand leg,pity you couldn't get it drilled then plugged with weld later? Edit,don't any other Honda models use the same leg?

Yeh the shop tried the drilling thing, but it looks like the seal then just broke where he drilled and tried to press it up. Luckily he didn't charge me. He reckons the bushes are siezed, so even if you get the seals out, it'll probably still be stuck.

I bet a bunch of other Honda's use the same leg, but I'll have to find out which ones as nobody lists them by their official part numbers.
