The one I'm collecting tracker parts for is an '81 Special. It's mechanically sound but cosmetically ratty. The perfect tracker candidate!

Mine too... 81 Special II

Ah yes, the very, very elusive one hole, one year only 1968 DT-1 rear taillight.

Obviously the owner knows what he has there.

I have a couple 1970 DT-1s as restoration projects too so I'm familiar with how elusive that mount is. He'll probably get what he's asking believe it or not.

I certainly would, yes. But to the purist....who knows?

That first year DT-1 had several one year only oddities to it that make it pretty endearing to collectors (besides being a very historic, ground breaking bike).

The gas tank had two bolt mounts below the front of the tank instead of traditional slip fit grommets that came later.

The exhaust pipe had a small stinger appendage that extended over the right rear shock mount, later ones had shorter, removable spark arrestor/baffle.

It had a mini sized tachometer that was smaller than the speedometer it was mounted next to, later ones were matching size.

Then the aforementioned one bolt taillight which later went to a two bolt traditional set up.

A thousand bucks for a bent taillight AND 15 bucks shipping? Yeah.... no greed there is there?

I`ve had my eye on this $75.00 81 Special. Unfortunately he`s only down to $600.

No title, no spark, bad stator, no shifter, no kickstart, no sidecovers. $75 parts bike all day long.

 

[Vincenthdfan]

Where the hell do all the titles go to all these bikes?? Ridiculous, really....such a waste.
