now i saw this a few weeks ago no bidders. maybe will fit RM 125, as someone said its not for YZ. as long as the bolt holes line up you can machine/modify the chamber if needed

-
feaky
Poor old C2 arm couldn't handle the weight of those oversize shocks :D hes taken it over a jump and bent the arm , then welded a gusset in place so it LOOKS TRICK ;)
-
for the life of me I agree with Oldfart..it does look like the stock arm with a slight kink :D trick as all showsa but eh..can't help first visual impressions ::) I do love those FMF porky heads though and it's a C..hmmmm..I want I want!! :P there's actually a reasonable 125C on egay at present listed as an 80 model..looks like she's pretty original too and it's fitted with a powerband!! 8)

thanks LWC3077 i will be watching this one

What's the score with these DG heads? They weigh heaps more than a stocker, look awful and offer minimal at best performance gains but the price goes through the roof nearly every time one goes on eBay. I'd understand the bling perspective if they didn't look so out of place on an engine, especially Suzukis.

I know that the DG heads used on RD350's and 400 get their squish bands remachined and are very popular with classic drag racers, maybe someone is doing that with the dirt bike heads. MY MX250 Webco head has a more modern squish design compared to the stock head too.
-
id rather a webco head i have one for my 250 b but they are hard to find
-
same here, the Webco ones are real hard to get. the DG theroetically has much better cooling due to the larger thicker fins and more surface area. i know they are heavy! DG got their act together with these in the 80's and actually started machining quish bands. I also found out a little while ago they made them for RM 500's and CR 480's. i bet no one has one on those bikes :)
-
yup..I agree, most DG heads look awful on post 78 Suzuki's, like a pumpkin on a pimple.. FMF porcupine or radial fin as the pick of the bunch for appearances. From the used ones I've seen they didn't detonate as much as the DG, Ocelot or Webco.
-
i reckon one of the reasons they had detination was because they had higher compression ratios but owners never used really hi ocatne fuel like they should of.
-
When I visited Vintage Iron in California back in the early 90's He had at least a couple of hundred NOS DG heads, some undrilled and unmachined. I remember him telling me at the time that they were crap but the bling punters just loved the gold anodizing. I've used Webco heads for years and I'm using a rare ACK head in my RT1 engine right now. I actually prefer to weld and remachine my stockk head to suit my own or my porting guys ideas on squish design. My Maico square barrel has an 81 400 style combustion chamber. It's interesting that nobody ever made aftermarket heads and stuff for Maicos. It tells me that the factory got it right.
-
so i wonder where all those heads are now? everyones gonna be emailing them now.
-
The extrusion is just an anodised heatsink, the quiessent head shape isn't the best for stopping dets. Worst thing is most of them have an angled plug making any sort of machining fix a complete pain in the arse. Apparently Don and Gary bought miles of that extrusion.
-
so if they made so many why are they hard to get. you dont see heaps of people with them.
and so its just an industrial heat sink cut to length and machined to suit? i always thought they were from the same mould and just cut to shape but apparently there were 2 types one had a certain amount of fins and the other had a few more fins. im surprised no one has been reproducing them and making them with better combustion chambers if they are that simple to make. think of how many you could sell on ebay for a couple $100 a piece ;D
-
I found a near new DG head and S/H stock bore YZ125X barrel for $15 at the Cessnock swap meet last year, I was looking in the right place, at the right time, the old guy I brought the head & barrel from did not have clue what he had, had to keep my jaw from hitting the ground when he said $15 :o, also was given another DG head for a late air cooled YZ80 a few weeks ago that a friend had lying around in his shed, it was no use to him as he has Suzuki's, it was given to him years ago.
-
You got ripped off paying $15 and your mate is obviously a VERY smart bloke;D
-
I payed $15 for the barrel, the DG head was chucked in for free ???
-
Loz the thing is..it doesn't really matter if they are the biggest scam of the past quarter century..the fact is right now they are hot property and very desirable to a lot of people recreating the era. A trick head has always been a trick head and something many people wanted regardless of the actual facts or any massive power gain misconceptions :) $15 for a barrel and a DG head thrown in!!..an absolute bargain!!!
-
How much do they pay for DG HEAD's in oz for RM250 n or t mdls
-
i dont think they ever made them for RM 250 N or T. most likely is a modfied PE 175 head.
-
Yep and people actualy stay up and watch Big Brother and buy Justin Timberlake CD's ??? ??? ???However ebay bidders constantly catch gold fever when one comes up, and realisticly the silly money would be far more cost effective if they went to a riding school. A fair price then Betric. ;D
BTW
I met a fellow who had a weathered black "Betric Racing" jersey, he reckoned it was from some back in the day race team that was sponsored by a private hospital of all things.Is that you????
-
im looking for a Webco 250 suzuki head if anyone has one :)

hey betric...did you see that brand new suzuki RM250A tank at cessnock swap meet last year ....
-
Lozza yes I rode for the team in 1981 on YZ's, the owner of the team had a family run private hospital for old people in the inner suburbs of Sydney plus a wheat farm up at Tamworth with MX and SHORT CIRCUT tracks that we practise on ;D, the owner passed away a few years ago I think with alzimers ???
I saw that RM tank a few years before at the Bathust swap meet it was much cheaper, should have brought it then.
