I've got lots of projects waiting but all this talk has pushed me to get my RT1 ready for next Septembers CD. This one started life as one of Nathan S's projects nearly 3 years ago. It's a racer so looks aren't priority but we'll have it looking pretty reasonable.



Tank still to get painted black with yellow strip. Waiting for rod kit to re-assemble the motor. MX360 gear set to go in. New rear shocks.

I have to thank Firko for an old frame he gave me which I ratted bits like the rear frame hoop which had been removed for some reason.

 Mine is a yellow stripe model as well, I will see if I can find some yellow stripe stick on tape as my tank is presently plain black.
 I wonder how many more yellow stripe models turn up there?
 The more the merrier eh!
 Looking forward to a great event!
Cheers pancho.

I'm shooting for October for my RT-1.  I sent the tank out to get painted the other day, the Works Performance shocks are bolted on and I'm installing the emulator forks this week.  I added 30mm aluminum risers to get the Renthal Vintage bend bars up to a more comfortable height.  I'll monkey around with ergos a little more (clutch and brake levers, shifter and footpegs), but that will be it until I race it a few times.

Here's how she looks with the painted tank.  The only things I can think of for the future are install the RT-1MX cylinder and head, PVL with flywheel weight and maybe some Excel rims for strength and weight savings.

Thanks Vandy!

The tracks I'll be racing on are pretty smooth (grass fields with some rolling hills or creek beds).  I wouldn't want my "Batcycle" out on a toned down, semi-modern track.  It does have sorted out Works Performance shocks, Emulator forks and an extended swingarm, but no frame lowering.

My current vintage (pre-75) bikes are a '74 Ossa Phantom and a Model 135 Bultaco Pursang.  I may already be too spoiled to race the Beast much, but it's been a fun build so far!

Sweet job Jay. You've raised the bar a fair bit. I'll now have to try a little bit harder but the job will be a bit easier by my picking up the rarest of trick DT1 gizmos last week. I'm keeping schtum as to what it is until it's fitted to the bike but I can safely say you won't have seen this particular item on a DT1 for a loooong time ;D

Iainyz,

That would be the Holy Grail of the DT-1 stuff, but I'm thinking maybe he found the "Chalice from the Palace" (Mag Clutch Cover).  ;D

Hmmm.... I thought Firko once told me he already had one of these...
