Outlaw Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hallo, ich bin Mike aus Deutschland. Von Beruf bin ich Schweißer, habe aber Zimmermann gelernt. Ich hatte schon viele Motorräder, Suzuki, Yamaha, Harley aber die Dnepr ist das einzige mit Charakter. Ich habe das Motorrad vom Schrott gekauft und komplett umgebaut. Es hat jetzt Scheiben Bremsen, Denso Lichtmaschine, Dellorto Vergaser, einen verlängerten Rahmen, eine andere Telegabel und Stoßdämpfer, anderer Schalldämpfer, Tank und Trittbretter usw. Zur Zeit steht sie auseinander gebaut in der Garage und wird überholt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hello, the front end is from a Suzuki LS 650 including brake system. The fork was lowered 4 cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Yes, but I took it down again. I am currently building a leaf spring system (fake). In Germany, every change must be approved by an expert. An original leaf suspension is not possible for the technical monitoring association.

Neat Idea for your Project Tho I prefer the look of a Girder, leafers are very Interesting, and probably more appropriate for this Use..

IronSquirrel Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 New member here from Holiday, FL! I'm working on importing an MT11 into the state (because I can) and tearing it down to ensure all is well before upgrades and rides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooden Nickel Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Welcome It is a beautiful bike. You are so lucky to be living so close to Gene in Holopaw. He is a fantastic source of knowledge and parts for your machine as well as a great guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Keel Dave Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Gene is more of a Ural guy. I've bought Ural parts that are interchangeable with Dnepr's parts, from Gene, like handlebar risers, but most parts are not the same.

He's supposed to be very cool. 12 hours ago, Bilge Keel Dave said: Gene is more of a Ural guy.

Wooden Nickel Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Gene is very knowledgeable on Urals and I wouldn't bet against him on other Russian bikes. I have no first hand knowledge of his skill with other makes but he is quite good mechanically and very friendly and helpful. I always enjoyed my trips to Gene's when I lived in Central Florida.
