Project flat tracker

[degsey]

I want something like this

From this

 

[Rushy]

Call me a pedant but isnt that a bobber not a flat tracker

 

[degsey]

maybe but its a tracker in my book, a bobber in my mind is a solid rear end with a sprung single tractor seat

Couple of things I am going to have difficulty sourcing or getting made over here is a longer throttle and choke cables

 

[abrasion]

Venhill cables will sort you out no problem

 

[Rob Farmer]

The bobber in your picture has low bars so you should be ok with your standard ones. If you do need longer cables then the GS or RT cables are longer than the standard ones.

It's a tracker

That Bobber would look better with slightly upswept pipes JMO of course

Yup, have to agree - as Bobbers go it's ok but a smal change to the exhaust would make a big difference

Oh......and PLEASE don't use exhaust wrap

ok ok ok bobber

I know what you are saying however I do like the parallel lines between the seat and the exhaust.

Done a bit last night and this morning before work stripped the rear end to start to work out the chopping of the sub frame, have some pics later

Ps I hope am not boring you

would MX bars and noblies make it a tracker ?(question to all )

thats the way I may have to go as I am having a hard time finding firestone champion tyres in the UK

 

[degsey]

just having a look at what to do witht the sub frame. It appears to have a twist in it which I will sort out.

A load of bits ready to be off loaded

Bobber ......

 

[Shep]

Dump the old subframe and make another, sexier one

A new subframe incorporating a small seat, stubby rear guard, light and numberplate. Bell mouths on slide dellorto pumper carbs, battery in where the airbox should be. 2-1 exhaust exiting through a modern looking 'stubby' just to one side. De cluttered beach style bars with an old school chrome headlamp 'French' the forks and fit some billet yolks if the budget allows

Job done in time for christmas

 

[degsey]

the battery in the airbox is a good idea tracker

 

[Shep]

Looking at that you could fit the battery below the swing arm pivot then fit the shock centrally where the airbox was, a bit of clever fabrication on the swing arm along with the redesigned sub frame and you'd have the start of a slick looking back end, maybe not by christmas, perhaps finished by the new year

 

[Paul Rochdale]

I'm almost tempted to offer you money to leave the old girl well alone, as I think she looks superb as she is. Bobbers and Flat Trackers are strange terms to me, and seem just another way to ruin and devalue a nice old bike.
