I think I have a few parts of one still around here. I think I have wheels, front forks, and some other bits if you plan to tackle it and need a part or two. :thumbup:

I see that one has that horrible kickstand as well. :roll:


:thumbup:
It definitely needs fork tubes and shocks... and likely wheels.
I won't be able to pick it up until late January.
I'll be in touch !!!

I have a 1972 DT2M motor you can have if for nothing else some bits/parts, let me know and I'll bring it to the gap.

My first "street" legal bike I bought when I was just shy of 15. Cops had a lot of years chasing me on this (no license).

I think reed was a mid-year change in 1972. My engine below is definitely a 1972 (motor #DT1F-25983) and it's not a reed but I've seen 1972 with and without reed.

Just give me a shout. :thumbup: I'll take a look today and see what all I have. It was a parts bike (wasn't totally complete) for the RT1B but I just parted it and put it in buckets.
