Side Tracker build

RFLIVES · Jan 23, 2011

Here's my progress so far.

Its been slow going on this build lots of staring at this thing. I'm still looking for a sidecar for it. so if any one has a chair laying around let me know. Got the wheels done this weekend and I'm really digging the gold

A little bit of progress I got my rotors back from http://www.anubiscycle.com/ It took a wile but the price was right and I was not in a hurry, got a big box of brake stuff from mikes as well. This weekend I'll strip and powder coat my calipers,caliper brackets and rotors and rotors. I just need to decide on a master cylinder. anyone have any suggestions?
Also I got my battery box shaped up. I think it came out good it hugs the frame perfect.

love the gold! i think black bike gold wheels is the way to go.
what will you be using for the rear wheel?

RFLIVES · Feb 8, 2011

I have a matching 19" rear on it. Thing is I still haven't decided what color to paint the bike. but I am going to leave the frame black

I'm also going to stick with the TX500 tank I put a flush mount cap and welded in new bungs for 3/8 petcocks.

I have used the low profile ones from Mikes and been pleased.

I like the low profile one's he has but I'm looking for one that has no mirror hole and has a big enough bore for dual disks

Got the front end done shave fender mounts.Thanks Hugh! I got around to powder coating them and installing new legs,emulators and seals. rebuilt and powder coated the caliders and cleaned up the trees powder coated them and installed a set of tapered bearings. Just need to finish the subframe for the lower sidecar mounts and test fit the pipes coming from gordonscott and I can break it down for the last time :thumbsup:

Aren't the rear shocks upside down or doesn't it matter?

They are right side up and I don't think it matters.
