Here's my 79 XS chop. Finished? Last year. Re-phased 707cc mikuni flatslides. TC bros hard tail. Smedspeed cam. Yes, I know the motor belongs in a flat tracker but it makes me laughOk boys show the goods .... You have all seen mine, but I'll start off the thread .....

Hi @xs707 - BTW, what shall we call you? - welcome to the forum.
No wonder that makes you laugh, a well-sorted engine in a hard tail chop. I'm making the assumption the engine is well-sorted coz the bike looks well finished? Nice bit of moorland road too. Hope to see you around, Cheers, Raymond.

Hi,
I'm Charlie. I need to sort my profile out. I've been using the forum for info but not really engaged with it. So, now that the bike is finished (are they ever?) perhaps I can be some help to others doing similar builds.
Cheers, Charlie
Welcome Charlie.
I like your bike. Pity you didn’t run a build thread.
it would have been interesting.
Ads.
I did a thing on Instagram @xs707chop. There's a lot of the build on there.

Does anyone know who still sells that exhaust or its custom the only option left?
There are a few options left: the Ebay British listing works ok, but takes a bit of fabrication to get decent; the Pandemonium likewise need tweaking and the ends cut off to mount staggered silencers. Then there is Gunn - essentially custom made stainless $1200 - but direct bolt-on

Gunn:
OK, Im intrigued now....what concealed headlight set up are you running right there?
I've been so busy compiling tidbits of information I've liked from all the gazzillions of different Tracker pictures I've been looking at...I need to add your headlight to the mix now.

The Gunn one looks amazing but thats almost the price of what I paid for the bike.
That's a bitsa creation: homemade fiberglass enclosure (behind number plate) housing all the wires, a 3" LED driving light (for a jeep) and a normal off-the-shelf AMA plastic number plate clamped to the forks with regular hardware store p-clamps (also a flat track thing).OK, Im intrigued now....what concealed headlight set up are you running right there?

Awesome, that'll work...thanks.
