Hi Ola
My HL pipe may fit your bike, but as you say you would have to fit the mounts yourself, & probably fit the engine spigot too so it's at the right angle.
If your looking for something this side of easter though then I don't think I could help you.

John, the mufflers are the same on both my HL & XT / TT pipes.
Let me know if you want a baffle put in yours if you mthink you might need it a bit quiter

Thanks Geoff, I'll send you a mail when when I decide on the pipe, want to get a bit further on the bike first.

Ola,

If you deside to go down the route of making your own pipe, here is a picture of what I have made so far for 2" stainless steel pipe I am making for my bobber.


Hopefully I will get a chance to TIG weld these sections of pipe fully while I am at work tonight.

Hey Ola,
I am undertaking the same project and would appreciate it if you could post or email me more photo's of your frame. Great work!

Ola best mod I have seen recently is the HL in the latest Classic Dirtbike, they fit oil inly on top of the motor rather than run the side pipe under the engine. Rest of the bike has some tasty bits as well.

A friend got hold of a Cheney XT500 recently. It had the oilinlet on top of the engine mod. They had welded the original hole shut and drilled a new one in the same line on top of the case. It saves the oilpipe in case of a chainthrow.

 Was it issue 10? I just bought all 9 backissues of CDM, and intend to subscribe from now, so hopefully I'll get it in a while...

its in issue 10.

these bikes definitely throw chains and the bike in issue 10 has oil line modifications and crazy rock solid chain guard.

Hi marcFX.  Do the XT aluminium tanks fit on the frame?  I do have the YZ125 tank but also I'm interested in a larger tank?

Hi John,

I am building TT as well (easier to build 2 bikes as a production run) you can see in the photos that the tank of the XT comes back further and  thing you will run into the tank mount and front frame loop.

Why not build a TT as well ;D my TT will also be MXer with Simons forks and White brothers swing arm and my big head motor.
