Chris,
Gorgeous bike TOO, man! Your baby's pared-down and almost looks like it ready for some flat-trackin'. And as a lot a people around here already know...I LIKE FLAT-TRACKERS!!!
Dwight



Dwight, Thanks, mate.. I'm a long-time fan of flattracking, and my intent is to turn this bike into a Street Tracker that anyone who's into racing would know right away what it is.

Right now I have a guy who builds Flattrack seats/tailpieces and tanks building me a seat/tail piece for the bike. I was going to replace the tank, but I sorta like the Triumph tank as it is, and WTF, Gary Nixon and racers rode 'em with stock tanks on 'em way back when.

Then I'll have a couple Excel or Sun rims laced up on the stock hubs, replace the rear shocks and front fork springs, and do a couple other little things to it, then I'm just going to ride it.

The motor's been tweaked a bit... Right now, before any more tuning she's running 72+HP/60+ ft lbs TQ at the rear wheel, noticabley more than the stock 360 degree crank motor puts out.

There are many more things I could do to it, but my intent was to keep this a low-buck project bike, and so far I've stuck to my plans.

About your mods to the header clamps - what did you do to the stock flanges to allow the vintage clamps to fit?
Thanks,
Chris
