| In April 02, a sad looking DS7 appeared in our yard in need of a good home. Not having an example of this model in my collection, it soon found it's way into the back of my truck. |
| Before it came to me, it looked to have been used by some birds for target practise. So my first job was to give it a good clean. |
| These photo's show the bike in a cleaner state. I still need alot of parts but it's now looking more respectable. |
| Aug 02 I've now got a nice tank which makes the bike look much better. |

| Spring 2004 I have just changed the rear rim on the RD350 due to cracks in the side wall. That rim I have put on this DS7. The tyre is larger than stock but what the heck. A front rim with new tyre was for my R5 but it too is now on this bike. The machine now looks alot better and is much easier to move around. |
 |
| The original brakes were a real mess when I took the old rims off but that problem is now sorted. The next job I have to sort out the carbs. |
| Late 2006 Update This bike is no longer for sale. I seem to be spending more time in Canada than I first thought. So along with the two DTs and the XS11, I will have something to play with, when I am there. Focus for now will be on collecting parts to get the bike on the road. A set of carbs, ignition switch and the carb to airbox joints have been aquired. As the better half (the girlfriend) wants to ride this bike, I will have to recover the seat. Also forkseals, plugs, points and condensors will be required. When the replacement carbs arrive, I will rebuild them. I have even found an air filter. Once the mechanicals are complete, I will get it resprayed and spend some cash on a pair of tank emblems. |

| Who switched the lights out? |
| For Sale: In England I have a pair of silencers (�140) and a set of front forks (�100) surplus to requirement. Both in nice shape but not perfect. |
