XR Flat Tracker enthusiast from Australia looking for frames and Iron Sporty Engines
Hi all
As the Title may suggest I'm from the Antipodes (Don't all PM at once -)
Looking for 79-81 Sportster Frame, which I'm told is the same as the Cafe Racer item (That, or they used those years sportys to get rid of unsold CR frames)
And I Believe 70 - 73 Ironhead Sportster engine I'm told is correct look for replica of early XR750
Kind Regards and hope to talk to you all soon!
Tom Serna.

Although the XL900 or XL1000 Ironhead motor would do as a cheaper substitute for the XR750 motor, the XR750 motor is unique to that model. For a start, the XR750 motor is not an Ironhead, it is all aluminium alloy, the heads are totally different to the Ironhead too as the exhaust ports are on the left hand side, not the right like the XL models, both inlet ports face rearward, the XK has the rear inlet port facing forwards as both cylinders on the XL models share the same carburettor. The primary drive case is also unique to the XR, as are the dual carburettors with a large air filter on each one.
