dm250 90011

well this is how she looked when I picked her up
I was most happy with the fact that it had the one tool box I needed since mine had stress cracks in it that were opened up at the Giro this year
The faded decal says Daytona 250, and I like the paint layout on this better than what
I currently have
If you have a good eye do you think this is the correct mach 1 front fender?
The one sticker of note is triangle motorcycle parts in chicago on the tank ... any history?
Note to self: keep all red sharpie markers way from duc singles

last batch of Mach 1 shots

amazing is the fact that the mach 1 has a 26mm carb from a touring bike that has a very odd drip tray set up for the remote float bowl - one nice touch is the air cleaner has all the writing still on it

A great shot showing the home made heel toe shifter made out of a rearset shift arm



nice rear sets and don't you love the batery box/ tool box combo?
yup I need to get that kick starter off
key is that there are all the brackets for the proper tin
check back tommorrow for the "better bike"

life is good

what are these from??

Okay race fans
what are these brakes off of
much larger than your typical Single duck brake, but very narrow
don't want clip ons, rather the easy rider ape hanger look - spacers for the forks!
and if you have a weak stomach for the ham fisted harley hammer please look away
the tech here is a soft piece of Brass between the unknown kick starter lever and the kicker splines - see I warned you

ready to ring a ding-ding

engine together
love the pipes and might need to get a different seat
battery charging
need to get two fuel filters and fuel line
time the sucker
and smoke out the garage

DM250M1 01336

this is fresh from the barn
few things of note:
Check out the square section header and what I think is a muffler from a sportster.
Seller thought the cross bar was highway peg setup, I think it was for a race fairing ... what do you think.
Nice try with the heal toe shifter made from the rear set shift arm.
This is a prime example of when people do damage to classics
I will be adding many more photos and info over the next few days

one he claims is a DM250M1

sunday afternoon

oil pump side

clutch side

I have bling

and a few hours sunday morning

Buffed up the clutch case and installed every thing as needed, two dowel pins, a new gasket, and the little dowel in the release push screw.

Flipped her over and put the rotary cover, my oils pump blanking plate and outer left crank case cover.






I had the wrist pins, needle bearings, and the pison cir clips in a baggy in the freezer since I got them at dougs last summer.
They slipped right in like butter.
Okay, the base gaskets does not fit they look like they must be from a 350, here we go
Screw the coffee get me a woodpecker

Saturday afternoon well spent

lined up the rotary valve, took a while since the crank had the crank shaft collar and I could not see the locator pin. uhhh removed the collar and everything made sense

dropped in the O-Ring, not using the oil injection but just felt good doing it

lined up the dots on the drive pinion and put on the Carb Gasket - this is one of those "Mystery Parts" the repair manual says to install - the parts book does not show it of the six engines on my shelf only two had the gasket

putting the clutch set plate on How tight should you go with the 6 hex bolts?? I brought them half way down
there she sits, all dots lined up and I need to go and get a cup of coffee and check on the kids

now the fun starts

yup the bearing is to far out the case had to come apart (I am getting good at this) bearing adjusted and resealed and the bearing retainer went on perfectly
finished off with the gear selector and the drum stopper and got a coffee in me
yes I did clean up all the excess Hylomar as seen on the side of the bearing

sealing her up

cases went to gether fine and remembered the wise words of Doug inch pounds not ft pounds
set the old torque wrench to 10lbs for the big bolts and 5lbs for the small ones
yes I did use a sharpie to number the bolt order
cracked the bakelight on the 4-5 speed selector and I don't have a good spare
finished off with installing the drum plate and called it a day
