LastTracker Build Thread

Looking great as usual Phil...love the stance.
With the addition of 'tracker holes' you should notice a significant better cooling of the cylinder.
Since this is your last build, maybe use that BBK on this one.

Oooh very nice looking! Love the star mags, the mono shock, and that under seat tray. That almost looks like a modern sport bike tail.

I`m seriously thinking 750 but it will take another $1000 on top of what I have in the BBK.

This bike has a great look to it...well done

I got the motor back from Jim last Sat. and was inspired to go out in the garage and actually do some work on it. Jim did a complete top end job and new clutch. What a meticulous job. I can`t say thanks enough. I should have it all buttoned up next week. I didn`t use the 750 kit because if I did I wouldn`t have any excuse to build another one even though this is my last tracker?

 

[Jim]

Your welcome. Looks like the bottom end prettied up real good.

love those valve covers.

 

[Mailman]

Oooh! That’s a nice looking motor, I too like those valve covers!

You sir, are a man of many talents!

OK - I gotta ask HalfMile - where do you get your stock (steel tube, plate etc. etc....)???

 

[halfmile]

For years I had to drive to KC to get any metal or aluminium I needed. They finally opened a store here in Topeka. It`s called "Metal By The Foot". They have a huge stock of aluminium, steel, chrome moly, brass, copper etc in most sizes and shapes. The KC store has laser cutter and water jet I`m told. They have a web site with prices.

COOL - thanks!

Now which state is KANSAS City in....hmmmmmm....lemme see now.....oh yeah, its NOT in Kansas.

Yup - that makes perfect sense.

 

[halfmile]

Actually there is Kansas City Kansas and Kansas City Mo. Kansas City Ks has the NASCAR track. Kansas City Mo. has everything.

 

[MrBultaco]

Nice Phil via Jim...like your breather fix.

 

[Jim]

We have all the museums Pete.

 

[MaxPete]

You guys are awesome. So many states....and so many Kansas Cities....

 

[WideAWAKE]

Wow!! Motor looks fantastic!

 

[Signal]

Oh thats nice. I would put it in my lounge for a bit until its needed so I could admire it I went past.

Honey Do`s completed it`s back to business. Installed the clamps to hold the rear brake line, Fit the under seat electronics tray, and finally roughed in a chain guard. Don`t laugh at the double welds on the rear chain guard bracket, it had to be done like that.

The 1/2 mile pipes from Hoos Racing came and with a few tweaks mocked up and ready for brackets to mount. Not much left before the swing arm, pipes, motor mounts etc are going to the chrome shop. Frame still needs a couple of brackets for the pipes and a good going over before it goes to the "expensive" powder coater.

 

[Mailman]

I love the look of those pipes, I bet they will sound Thunderous!

 

[MrBultaco]

I see you re-worked the left header... . I can't believe Gary is still selling the same left side one that looks like crap. (like mine)
