Street Tracker Part 11 - Seat Frame and Tank Mounts



Well I finally got the tank all mounted. Ordered some bungs from my favorite bung dealer. Couple bungs, little flat bar and some bolts and there you go. The sub frame is just tacked in there. Is it perfect? Not at all. Do I care? Not a bit. I just want to ride. I could spend a few day just on getting the frame perfect but I just don't have the motivation. Anyway, it doesn't look too bad.

Street Tracker Part 10 - Another Frame and More Tires

Well I ran into some problems. After looking and looking for an 18" rear wheel that actually fit, I went back to Cycle Salvage and looked around. Ended up walking out the door with a 1987 XR600R roller in really good condition for $75. So got it home and chopped up. I ended up buying a 17x5.10 tire for the rear so I could use the stock wheel. I also picked up a 18x4.60 for the front because I was still getting rub even after I shaved the forks.

Also spent several hours today cutting the gas tank apart and making a new bottom and tunnel. It's a ton of work and I'm not great at it. Stitching the sheet metal together with a MIG is another huge challenge. Now I need to make my mounts and seal the tank. It's progress.


Here's a pic of my growing bone yard. Maybe I should sell some of the parts?
