Hola from Spain

[Tattoo2851]

Hi everyone, I am restoring a 1989 DR800s and enjoying all the small challenges....clutch cable retainer snapped off housing...missing tank rubbers ...lots of non standard rusty bolts etc...But I'm getting there The Exhaust can is badly corroded so I've cut it open and am making new baffle plates and diffuser tubes as I need the original can on the bike so it can pass, hopefully, a Spanish ITV test.
I'll post photos once I can get the hang of this site !

Welcome and good luck getting the BIG on the road

The 800 was made from 1990-97 so definitely not an 89.
Is it a Spanish or UK model?

Bigbob,

Yep, just checked the documents, imported into Spain April 1990. I stand corrected Its Spanish reg'd and been standing for years so I'll get it running and use in the riverbed where my house is, once I know everything is ok I'll put new tyres on and take it for its ITV test.
