DT1 MX project

The head pipe was just slightly too large to fit the DT manifold, so I made four cuts, shrunk it, and welded the cuts. The silver paint was just to mark how far it needed to go when fully seated in the manifold.

Here it is fitted to the bike. I love it. I had taped the front fender in place to make sure the exhaust would clear it. I need to weld on the spring tabs, and I'll likely buy an aftermarket silencer/spark arrestor. In case you are wondering, the gold handlebars are just for mock-up, and won't be used on the finished bike.

I need to do some work on the rear fender. It is for a later year DT, so I have to modify the rear mounts so it clears the frame, and also make a patch panel to fix where the tail light use to mount. I looks like it got ripped off at some point.
