Very nice!!!

Thanks Schu & Swm for the comments, A couple of outdoor shots. Odd hazy day or phone camera setting off ? Going to redo the pipe. To much sheen for me. I will use a flat black instead of low gloss and see how that looks. 







 

In the past I used flat black hi-temp paint since all the satin's & semi-gloss I tried were too shiny versus original exhaust paint.  
Then someone posted pics of a muffler painted with Eastwood Satin Black High Temp 1,400 degree paint and it's great match to my enduro's with original paint mufflers - not shiny.  My 2 cents - good luck!

Thanks Swm,

You just reminded me of something. I was trying to figure out what i used on the 68 DT1 so i went searching my purchases and sure enough it was the Eastwood Satin heat paint. So i ordered a can. Sure has gone up in price! $25.00 back in 2022. Now $34.97 with tax on e-bay thru Eastwood. Free shipping on e-bay. 

On a side note there is a restored 1970 DT1 250 on E-bay right now for $8500. I like the looks of his pipe so i asked him what he used. He said he uses regular Rust-oleum flat black paint. Not the heat paint. Says it holds up great doesn't burn off even when he runs the engine. Says it's been on there 5 years. Pretty impressive. Looks great. 

The pipe is much better now. 

Perfect!!!  

Sure is a sweet looking ride you've done there. Kind of jealous of the pearl yellow. I was looking for one in that color and bought a 1973 AT3 125 with 1550 miles to play with instead. Still looking for a decent pearl yellow. 125, 175-ish pre-74. I like the later ones with the engine size on the muffler guard and the flip top gas cap.. Wow! Cheers.

My first bike was a '69 DT1.It was actually my brother's personal bike. He had a Yamaha-Triumph-Bultaco-Vespa dealership in Berkely CA. in the early to mid '60s. I had it shipped to Maine when I went to college there '68-'72.

Still working on the '68 DT1 project. It'll get done this year (I keep telling myself). If I can figure out imgur or the google photo site I'll try to post pics.

I use postimage. Slick.

Custombolt,
Thanks for the comments on the bike. Yamaha calls the color Candy Orange on this bike. I know it doesn't look orange. At least not compared to the 71 or newer bikes.  

Nhsteve,
Imgur is very simple to use. If i can do it anyone can. Once you sign up just click on new post and click and drag your photos into the site. then its just a matter of copy link and paste into your thread here on the Yamaha site. There is 3 different way of doing it. I use the old version but the new version is easy too.
