The pipe was about a years worth of ebay waiting NOS for $250 au I wasn't keen on DG either and the NOS one was cheaper so no contest! The hardest part is the waiting but they do come along and if you buy an aftermarket one you can garentee there will be a NOS pipe on ebay a week later!

Great stuff and has motivated me to get moving on my resto.
Tell me, what brand of foot pegs and fork gaiters are you using there?
cheers

The boots are made by polisport I think they were from eBay and the pegs where eBay as well they are for a mid 90s yz but work fine you will need to drill out the peg mounts to 10mm to make them fit but the kick starter will hit o/s pegs it's ok I just don't kick all the way thru the stroke. Buy the way there's a outfit on eBay that sells some nice stainless pegs for about $60.

Wow how were the numbers at CD7! What a great track Green park is I had a ball blasting around there apart from a gear shifting problem (bent gear lever rubbing on clutch cover >:() everything went good    well almost my inlet manifold is forked and its getting worse and I'm having no luck finding another NOS or second hand anyone have one or know of where one is?

Very nice J.  Shame to get it dirty.  I have one running and one in bits ready to rebuild.  Great old bikes.  Had one new and nothing but great memories.  Mine are/will be riders.  Not too pretty to look at, but nice to ride.  The rider is yellow and the parts are for a white one.

Retro.
Apparently you can only ride one bike at a time, and hence you should only have one bike.  :(

Have fun with your resto and hope you don't need a new inlet manifold because thet don't seem to exist! oh well out with the black sikaflex and a pointing trowel ;D
