I found it vibrates less with the '79 head.
Yes the head and barrel are vapour blasted. We did a '79 with a flat red bottom and "Au Natural" top end a year or so ago. It looked really sweet!!

Love 78-80 Cr250 threads
Here's a picture of a 1980 wearing the stock pipe,,and the original DG pipe for 1980 held up to it so you can see the difference in header pipe length. The original DG pipes did not have badge welded on. They are tough to identify for many,,,as they had a sticker on them that burned off. The bracket was brazed on,,and ther is a small DG stamped there tough to see. This bike I drove in a snow storm to Ohio to get. Has a true DG head,,and the DG pipe. I kept the DG parts and sold bike with stock stuff.
Here's another article. My dream someday is too finish my CR250s. 1-1980 motofox cr250,with fox shox,forx, proform pipe, fox banana arm,NOS sun rims,,new metzlers,,bike 2 is a 1980 DG version with the DG head,DG pipe,Simons,DG swingarm,DG gas tank,DG side panels and DG front # plate,,,,,and bike 3 is a 1979 CR250 motofox with the thor version fox arm,,fox shox, simons, sun rims, and custom painted fox gas tank. When done I want to have a 'shootout' of my own with them. I was fortunate enough to gather my stuff up 12-15 years back and I held onto most of it even during the great depression of 2008-20012. I bought several bikes, just to pic a few parts off them here and there for the project,,then re sold the donor bikes.
I have moved 3 times and multiple storages along the past dozen years. Some of my bikes are dismantled, boxed and shelved. Some like the one simon/fox bike is under a tarp waiting it's turn. In order to work on anything I really need a bigger garage. A giant garage is planned this year and then working on them won't require moving 10 bikes to get at one. The white frame crapper bike has the original DG swingarm....what looks like junk was a treasure to me. How many have seen a red DG gas tank for a CR250? Or the red DG front number plate ? Imagine if I die,my wife will have this stuff and tons more hauled away as junk.

1980 Yamaha YZ250G
The differences between bikes now and the swings in which one is better from year to year are a lot less than they were back in the day. I mean, I bought an OSSA Phantom in late 76 early 77 and less than a year later the 78 CR250 came out. Given I was supporting my fix on gas pumping money, I've not felt more defeated very often than the first time I lined up with a bike that looked like Marty Smith's and had 4 inches more suspension travel than I did.
Was the 79 the six speed 250? I know Joe isn't keen on his 81, so I'm thinking that 250G was probably one of the better original mono shock bikes (before the 82 or 83 rear suspension change). It and the RN were the two better 250's that year in 80, right?
