Quote from: RDnuTZ on May 12, 2024, 10:33:41 AMI had a 200 electric exactly like that around 1978. Same color, condition. I basically just did maintenance on it and replaced battery. Think I paid $100.00 for it. Owner said it had sat for years (indoors) and they just wanted it gone. It replaced a 1969 125 twin Scrambler I rescued out of a shed. These had the chrome up pipes and bulbous tank with the rubber kneed pads. That 1 also only required basic maintenance and clean-up to run. Think I paid $50.00 for that one around 1975- as I was still in high school, and hand built some rolled cone chambers with internal baffles as my semester project in meatal shop. Used JT-1 60cc specs to make the pipes and welded them onto the existing chrome headers. It was all top end and sounded like a can of angry bumblebees :burnout: Funniest memory on that 1 was I actually got a ticket for speeding, following too close, and unsafe lane change after weaving around a couple people clogging both lanes coming out of a red traffic light  :vroom:  A cop was back aways and made his own illegal maneuvers trying to light me up. He actually was never close enough to me to see any of what he wrote up, but decided I HAD to be speeding to pass those couple cars- but I never passed the speed limit the whole time. I went to court to explain that and the judge blew me off and I had to pay a fine  :bang:

out curiosity I did a search on aftermarket chambers for it and did not have much luck. I did come across some custom fabrications as yours.

The paint is original and does have a different look in the picture.
I will post some better pics

I am going to make the plunge, Dts points location are not easy access to gap and set without a metor. where did you purchase your VAP from.

not sure about the exhaust pipe and have never seen one in that design before, maybe custom fabbed and if not I would think that they would have been popular and seen on bikes more often. Cool looking design for the application. How is the Vape working out for you, I am wanting to purchase one for my DT 175.
