The works OW27s had a pipe like that - the white guards suggest that it might be a very early (air-cooled) version of the OW27??

Shame the pic's so blurry...

Good to see you back Nathan  :) Can you Modify a GMC YZ 125A pipe (the best pipe ever made for those early 125s  ;D ) to fit the C or X  ??? would have thought so as i modified one for my MX 125C  ;D

it was actually chopped off an RM125N but while i had it in pieces, my mate {the numbskull sandblaster at work} blasted a hole staight through the header section, to which i did a pretty rough patch job on at the time.
it's been that way since i rebiult the bike and will one day fix it up, probably when i do a top end fresh'n up on it as it hasn't really had the top end off since CD5 at raymond Terrace ???

This is the correct way for your YZ X petcock to be facing! i had no idea.
