          @declan im not that bothered it goes as fast as am bothered on a dirt bike but it's annoying knowing it's restricted some how and the feeling when it cuts ignition for a second bugs me

            @terry-tz yeah coming from my usual bikes the dt feels like a monster but would like a longer power curve so I need to get the restriction sorted

                  about time I was more active so let's get things moving new exhaust chain and sprockets first I think as the current exhaust is, to say the least, f!cked and chain seems to be stretching fast been readjusting more than normal

                        fitted today love it but it won't a straight fit sounds sweet il be rebuilding the carb in a few days when I have the time as I think it's a bit rammy in there not been running right for a week seems lean at full throttle enough to cut the bike out and now I fitted the pipe need to check how she runs new chain and sprockets going on to same in a few days oh and a tach cable to mine broke a few weeks ago

                          That's bloody lovely that.

                          What was the problem fitting it?

                            @calum brackets were not lining up from the silencer to the frame there not to far out I got one secure with a bit or thick tube as a washer makes it stand off a tad and might burn the plastics a bit and it wasn't very well lined up between the expansion and the silencer either il line it up better with a blow torch bit its fine for now its secure and hell ye it fits better than the old one that's been chicken shit welded im gonna only use one bracket anyway reason is to let there be a weak point for if its dropped ect minimise the damage but il cut the brackets off and re do the one il keep im in no rush to do this though

                              also, the front bracket won't too clever but it went on ok bent into shape as I tightened I had to remove the damper that goes there

                                  It looks superb. Get some photos up of it on the bike. It's a shame the fitment isn't on, but the guy makes them by hand so I guess it only takes a few miscalculations for it to not align properly. Mine fitted fine on my bike, but it was much more versatile with it being underslung.

                                    @calum am still not grumbling its what I wanted and I don't mind the extra work but it would have been nice if it fit straight up @Glynn123 yes it's a nice pipe totally changed the bike for the better

                                      The one on the 89 bike did not line up correctly either, had to adjust rear bracket on expansion pipe to obtain correct alignment, otherwise silencer disappeared under rear mudguard and connection to cylinder twisted

                                          rebuilt the carb last night still not rebuilt to perfection far from it some screws were f!cked I replaced what I could il need to get some new ones ideally but the screws I put back on are good there was no gasket for the front of the carb and mine is knackered its sitting ok though ill replace when I do it fully with new screws etc the rebuild kit came with a different needle to the original I eyed them up and the highest setting was equal to the second from bottom that mine was on taper was different to couldn't see the main jet size I had 210 and 225 I put 210 in its now fitted and seems to be running fine might be a bit lean but its reving cleanly all the way through so it seems anyway gonna take it for a run later and see what the plug tells me and if my problem at high revs has been solved
