I'm looking for a conversion kit similar to Omar's to use a 19" front mag on the rear for a street tracker build. attempts to reach Omar's have failed. any help would be appreciated.

Omar's is out of business. The new Omar's is just fiberglass. Jim Henry was making them in his spare time, but is laid up after an on track incident. He is not home yet.
I continue to try and find a supplier. I even tried Phil Little, the original Omar's owner about pipes and conversion. We will see.

Tompac, if you haven't already done so, I suggest checking out the Gemco Exhaust mile pipes as they are far nicer than Phil's pipes. Unlike the XR70 pipes they are right side mounted and look great in ceramic or chrome.

GEMCO will also do left side, if you can get him to respond to emails. I was set to go, but it took him 6 weeks to get back to me, so I went with something at 1/3 the cost. He wants the money up front and at least a 6 week wait.
Get ahold of Jim henry. He made me one not too long ago. I had to wait a few weeks for him to finish his batch order, but it got to me for a very fair price. I've yet to install it though

unfortunately Jim was injured from an on track accident back at the beginning of October. He is still in a rehab hospital with a brain injury. You can get information on Jim at flattrack.com

Nice to see his kits being produced, I wish Jim's kits were as complete as omars, but that's no worry!!

Jim may never be making kits again.
That's what I heard... I sure hope he makes a full recovery, he was a good one to work with.

Some of us are interested w/o pics.
if y'all want, I can post pics of Jims kit. I just got through bead blasting it and am in the process of procuring stainless hardware and bearings for it, as he outlines in his instructions. I can get pictures later today.
Yes, that would be great. Would love to see it...thanks.
