DT1 flat track project

I got started on the right side low pipe for the DT. I'm using the pipe that came on the bike when I got it. I don't know what it is, but looking at pictures on the interweb it might be an old Moto-Tech chamber. It has an auto parts store exhaust reducer welded in, so was probably adapted from something else, but looks to be about the right size for what I need. I got a 2" u-bend to make the downpipe.

I started at the front, running it under the footpeg bar. Right side cornering clearance isn't a concern on a flat tracker, but I wanted to keep it as tight as possible.

And here is is almost done. I still need to make a mount bracket and finish weld it, and need to look into what to do for a silencer.
