XS650 Enthusiast
My name is Richard aka Mule. I have a website www.mulemotorcycles.net
I've built bikes for a long time and have kinda found a niche building streettrackers. Everything I do is frame up with the intent to improve whats there and how it works and looks. I don't really do the cheapy Walmart streettracker thing, such as an XR750 seat and Kenny Roberts paintjob.
I have a ton of experience mixing and matching parts to get a certain level of performance or a look. I know what works and what is usually too much effort for the final end result.
I'm totally willing to share what I have learned with anybody that wants to know. If I can save you some headaches, then I've done a good thing. Also, after reading a lot of the posts here, I'm sure I can learn a lot too.
That said, if your bike has apehangers , a hardtail and tassles and skulls, I probably won't be able to help much. I'm not much of a "Lifestyle" fan, I just love motorcycles. I like streettrackers because of what they are, what they're intended to do, what their history is and how they ride.
I have a lot of years of racing in MX, Flattrack and a bit of Roadracing. I have about 30 years of senselessly crazy/dangerous street riding in the So-Cal mountains. Now it's just flattrack and bike building. I'm happier in the garage than riding now actually, but I just bought 2 KTM flattrackers to race. One is ready to go and the other needs some love. It may become an electric flattracker if everything goes right.
It appears that this forum doesn't have the usual pizzing contests and bad vibe, so I'm glad to be here.
