DG Silencers for 1980 YZ125G
ByOne of our readers wrote asking which silencer was used in building Project YZ. I really thought that I had listed it someplace on the site. But I guess I just forgot that part! Sorry about that.
The silencer that I used was a DG Aluminum Silencer from a 1984 / 1985 YZ125. It is DG part number 21-4111 and I purchased mine from a company called Dirt Overstock.
In order to install this silencer on the bike it requires all the fitting pieces from the 1984 bike and the long part of the silencer needs to be bent slightly. I also added a small piece of rubber between the silencer and the frame.
It appears that Dirt Overstock has some kind of licensing agreement with DG to make more when they run out. From the note I received I believe that the magic number is 15 orders before they will make more.
Here is the web address for the silencer http://dirtoverstock.com/detail.aspx?ID=217
If you need to buy one of these silencers for you YZ, it would be a good idea to leave a comment here. This might help get enough people together to buy the 15 needed to get them to build them.
Good Luck!

I am definitely intersted in purchasing one of these DG Silencers. I think they look great. Hopefully folks will express enough interest that will prompt Dirt overstock to build more…count me in!

If you click on the Dirt Overstock link above, it says that they are $79.95 But you would have to check to make sure they are in stock!
Good Luck!
