Leslie's Tracker Build

[essexboydave]

My mate in work has a Tuono and I must say that is one very nice bike, if I had the spare cash I could quite go for one of those
I did discover what's probably the worst Italian bike ever-the Garelli Rekord! I had one when I was 16 and spent many nights on that sneaking around the back streets trying not to get nicked as the lights rarely worked for more than half an hour at a time!!!

 

[essexboydave]

Fucking ell Essex you on some sort of self harm mission Guzzi's make dukes look like BMW,s LOL

I've had that Guzzi over 21 years now and still got it-it's in many pieces in the living room right now!!! lol!

Certainly did! Did yours work though as mine didn't

 

[Leslie]

I cannot remember,,just remember falling of doing the Estate grand Prix qualifying,,,knocked of by a bastard Raleigh Runabout factory rider LOL

 

[essexboydave]

I fell off mine on many occasions but most often trying to impress girls outside the youth club
This was back in the day when we boasted about power figures right down to 2 decimal places-"My bikes got 6.1 bhp!" , " Yeah right ya loser mine's got 6.25!!!!" lol!

 

[Leslie]

LOL,, don't know what mine had but I reckon it was good for 30 mph

I have decided to have a go at uprating my swing arm, to a modern Yamaha aliminum deltabox swing arm.

That is pronounced ALI-MIN-YUM for my American cousins

Take a good look lads as the grinder and welder are about to come out of retirement

Has anyone got a CAD file of the standard XS650 swing arm.

Damn that thing's huge!

 

[Leslie]

Pre,
I know all the Ladies say that, but thanks anyway.

It will look OK once I have shortened it I hope.

Pre,
Picked the swing arm up for $20 locally.

So not much to loose other than time if it doesn't look right.

[pregrid]

Holy shit! what did it come off of?

 

[Leslie]

A Yamaha 2004 FZ1 1000cc

I don't know if you get that model in the states.

Hope you are going to put a new cross bar in there when done.

 

[Leslie]

Dude,
the sides have to be closed i n a bit app 55mm.

Then instead of a structural spar i will sheet the back end of similar to what the XS swing arm is,

only I will use 1/4 aluminum plate

Strewth, must weigh a ton, its going to make the frame look spindly

 

[pregrid]

I'll bet Leslie pulls it off!
