My daily rider 1978 DT175E two stroke

I did a quick rebuild last summer, put an RT180 front end on it for better forks and disc brake, swapped in the RT monoshock (much better ride)
and did a new top and bottom end. It still runs on the injector so all I do is add gas and oil. I get around 60mpg with it and ride 40 miles round trip.
Once I get my new project done (My 74 Honda/Lifan Hybred) I will likely be giving this to my 25 year old son to ride.

It Cruises at 55 easy and will top out at 70 if I wind the guts out of it. (max speed limit on the way to work is 45 I think. I have under 1K into it.
