Tim why yes it is !!! white with a red stripe lol . The bike worked well for me I really enjoyed it what time we had to enjoy it before the cold came. Im just looking to make it my own with a set of number plates . So many people have asked about awfull awfull that I think stroker mcgurk will never die .

Hows the new bike coming

I too use Maier number plates. Dennis Kirk sells them. The slanted plate was made from powder coated .065 aluminium sign material available at most sign shops. Your right about Stroker McGurk. I had the pleasure of meeting Tom Medley at the Go Kart races at Quincy IL in 2010.

Hey Dan, work on the new bike is coming along well , I think the side plates will be a great addition to your bike. They will give it more of a "competition" look. I will be watching for your future updates.
Halfmile---I'm jealous of the fact that you actually met Tom Medley. I loved his work since mid 1950's in Hot Rod magazine.

Hi halfmile,
those photos show ellipse, parallelogram and rectangle shapes and none of them look quite right to me.
If they were mine to do I'd make 'em trapezoidal to keep the look of the stock sidecovers.

The Tracker and Scrambler are a little too far gone for that stock look but that`s not a bad idea at all to use on a mild street build. Would look good with a triple tuning fork decal or a script Yamaha logo on a tank decal delete bike. Good idea.
