Yeah unfortunately that's the way it is when it's a one off job. If you want the pipe to fit perfect, he needs the bike. He's pretty much on the Hume HWY so there should be some cheapish transport options.

I remember J & R making a pipe for the DTs but the cone joins were brutal,

note front forks are dt200 ie no rubber mounted bushes..

UN-related to your vibes issue and more so just out of interest -
How did you fit the DT200 front forks are they the same diameter as the original ones and did you use the DT200 or the original triple clamps? I have a DT400C and the original forks are in very poor shape so to make it useable I have fitted a combination of XT/AG200 tripple clamps and forks and maintained the original front wheel but due to the XT triple clamps being less of a V configuration they clash with the original tank so I have had to fit a different one for the time being.
Here's how it looks at the moment


Am interested to hear more about yours. Do you have any pics?

Cheers Troy

Hmmm, What should I buy next?
In case you were wondering it was an 85' CR250R. Then a 76' DT250 and a 01' XR250 and it didn't stop there
