Hey guys new to the site, new to building a flat tracker, but not to building bikes, looks like this site is going to be an amazing resource.
Anyhow not lucky enough to be able to locate a XS but did pickup a running 1977 KZ650 for $500, plan is to make a nice little street tracker, although it's not a light twin it is a pretty light 4cyl.
My plan is to use the tail below, looking at the tires below (Vee Rubber VRM 163), and the tail light setup below, still not sure where to go on the headlight, would like to do a number plate with two 1" cutouts to put round projectors through, kinda like below.
One question I have is, is it common for street trackers to run rearsets? I have a few set kicking around from old cafe racer builds and race bikes and thought about going that route.
Let me know if there are any do's and don'ts I should be looking out for, or if this bike is going to make a poor street tracker candidate to begin with.
What style of bars is most everyone running, seem to be an mx bar but not sure the common rise and pull back?
Here is a picture of the KZ, figured dual disc up front and disc in the back was a good start.
Thanks in advance for the help.
