Good work so far mate! I like what you've done to the bike so far with the subtle changes as to not stray far from the original looks of the bike I respect that
.. That heads cleaned up really well what did you use to clean it?Every problem has a solution

and GT85 and a tooth brush! Works a treat, and a small brass wire brush for the mating face to get the bits of old gasket off -
Right on man, wish mine was as clean as that! Stick in some EBC pads and Steel Braided brake line and you can enjoy the front end a little better,
-
@Burridge Nice job there man! I have EBC red stuff pads and Wemoto braided lines on my DTR, they do improve the brakes for-sure. I'm going to be adding some Kyoto wavy disks next week, hopefully they will further improve the braking and reduce the stopping distances too!!! ;O)
SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!

Set about fitting the 3MB head today.
My torque wrench is too big so went to halfords for one, now if anyone here lies in Derby they'll have heard about the round about in Kingsway that has recently been made larger and now has a load of traffic lights on it. Well long story short, it's fucked everything up and they're shit, the retail park next to said roundabout was completely grid locked. It took about an hour to et out of the retail park once I'd been to halfords. Fabulous.
Anyway, £80 later-

http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w402/Burridge1/Mobile Uploads/image_zpspbkvmfas.jpegNice clean 3MB head on and all put back together, with genuine yam head gasket.
http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w402/Burridge1/Mobile Uploads/image_zpsiqzqopgs.jpegStarted about 4th kick, took for a ride and can tell it's got more compression, it vibrates more too and seems abit nippier, will be better when I get my new zaust.
Unfortunately the sender wotsit in the head for the temp gauge looks completely different to the one in my 3BN head, hoped it would work but it doesn't.. Stayed at cold the whole time I was out. So I'll need a new one of them:( -
Hopefully I don't get the ban hammer for posting pornographic material but I'll take the risk.
Postie brought this today

Unfortunately it turns out not to be the best of fits.
Got it on tonight and will need to shorten the end by an inch or more to get my dep can on, it's an uncomfortable amount too close to the frame and touches the top of the bracket where the standard pipe bolts on, and I'll have to find a spacer for the bracket on the pipe that mounts to the frame, as there's a hefty gap between the pipe and where it's supposed to mount to, and I'm not about to rip the bolts off the head torquing it down!

It looks fairly badass though, I'll hopefully have resolved the fitting issues by tomorrow.

This was the trouble I found with getting one of his pipes. I asked for a twin pipe to fit the DTX, and what he sent me was made to fit the DTR, and although the frames should be the same, I had to adjust two of the mounting holes to get mine to fit. Even then, it didn't look completely straight. He does great work don't get me wrong, but I paid so much for it and to have it not perfectly fit was very frustrating.

Well guys I've managed to get it on, all be it big faff. Haven't bothered with the bracket as Calum's said, cut an inch and a half off the end and got the dep on, the 2 pipes were so far out they were almost side by side. Put a spacer on the front bracket of the dep to pull it out more to like up abit better with the main pipe, used the original grommet with a piece of handle bar grip packing out the main pipe cus it was far too big.
Next problem!!The pissing front midguard hits the pipe when turning the bars left! For now I'm gonna pack out the 2 bolts holding it on
closest to the engine to angle it away from the pipe, and maybe get a different midguard later on that I can butcher abit to fit round the pipe.@mightyman I know how you feel, this thing wasn't cheap and as good as the workmanship is I've been pretty pissed at how badly it fits, with the equipment the guy has to make these things and how much he's making off them I'd have thought he'd have some decent jigs to make sure they fit better than they do. It said in the title that this was for a dt125 r

Shut up it is!!! HahahaSorted the midguard problem out, a nut between the top of it and the bottom of the yokes gave enough clearance and it looks no different so I'll be leaving it like that. Everything tightened up I took it out and the faff has been worth it. It's transformed it completely, power kicks in at 6000 from the pv opening then at 8000 the pipe kicks in with a nice rasp, and goes on to go off the clock at 80mph
Next problem: melted my boot on it.
