Been following this thread for a while; some great info here! Tinkering ideas of getting one of these and making some scrambler mods...does anyone know if there is an aftermarket high exhaust pipe for the 165FMM? Would love to swap in a high pipe that runs through the frame like on my DT175.

Exhaust is generally not made for the engine, but rather the particular model bike. You will probably have to find a custom exhaust, or have one made and/or bent for your particular application. You might possibly find an exhaust on CSC Motorcycle's site since they have a cafe-style bike similar to this Dongfang bike. But, my guess it would be for general performance and not for transforming their cafe to a scrambler in the shape you are seeking. I really like your idea, and suggest after buying the bike, you start on the scrambler transformation anyway, and worry about the exhaust later on.

That might work just fine assuming the exhaust port is the same as CCW uses the pushrod engine. Maybe just buy the CCW scrambler and be done with it. Good looking bike.

![]() The ACE might be a good bike if CCW has some leftover. They seem to be in some kind of turmoil right now as we recently discussed them on another thread regarding their 400cc bike they are teasing on their site.

I don't forsee a problem with the exhaust port. I highly doubt CCW spent the kind of money it would take to custom cast or machine/drill some cylinder heads because they wanted to change the bolt pattern of the head on the exhaust side. Lots of us pushrod engine guys rocking exhaust systems made for the OHC engine. Worst case scenario, the studs are a few mm wider or closer together. Easy modification.
If there was anything I would be worried about, it would be the right side cover on the bike. CCW used to sell a metal cover for that side to work with the exhaust, so if there was to be any sort of fabrication work, that would likely be where it is needed.

Me, I dont have any issue at all with my foot rest. I actually like the shifter. I wish it was lengthen a bit. My boot heel never touches the exhaust pipe.

I totally agree, and it's not going to break the bank in price either. That is my next upgrade. I decided to disregard DF250RTR-b and plan to save for the RX4. Pluss if I drop the bike and break something, it's super cheap to buy replacement parts. It will take me 5 to 7 months to get the bike. I would have to save for better riding gear pluss I want heated gear for the cold that is coming.
