First off that is one nice looking 650 you have going there. Love every bit of it.

Secondly, I would be riding wheelies for DAYS on that XR80!

Ok it's been awhile but things are coming along. Got some works shocks put on, getting wheels spaced up, steering stem bearings, adjustable handlebar risers. Working on finishing brake set up and need to purchase a PVL ignition unit. Disassemble and paint frame, and still having fun!

Thank you to all the other builders on this forum for keeping us all inspired!

Most likely a PVL from Hoos Racing, I wish they were a little less expensive $$$$. For racing I think that's the best way to go, don't want to cut corners now this close to the finish. It's only M$NEY right! LOL

Thanks, Yes almost is the correct answer. Pregrid wasn't your Street Tracker up for sale? That bike was beautiful......

 

[Street Tracker]

Yes that is the way to go for the bullet proof racer for sure and you get to run Shell style cam covers!! I am seriously thinking of going that route on the street with a battery to eliminate all the issues the tach, and lights ect. Your sure close only several hundreds of dollars away now. Make sure to document the first day at the track for us.

You bet I will..
