Default street tracker build
This is a street tracker I just finished. I did it "dirt track correct" with 19" race wheels and front rotors/carriers from A+A racing, Storz aluminum tank and seat, fully adjustable Showa big piston forks from an XRX, traditional dirt track "Lockeed pattern" Brembo rear caliper gripping a Galfer rotor, 520 chain drive, and a hot rodded engine.I did the design and fabrication, modified the engine, and made all the adapters, mounts, brackets, integrated turnsignals, etc.
Compared to a store bought Harley XR 1200 this bike is 150 pounds lighter, makes more power, and is physically tiny. The theme of this bike is minimalism.
The first pic is the donor bike, an 2004 XR1200r bought locally in prisitine condition. The forks, brakes, and wheels, and a few other bits are still for sale.......

Truly AWESOME Dave. I'm on my way, really want rearsets, and new pipes. A/C next though. Can only afford to do a little at a time. Congrats man, very inspirational.

Looks great!! Im really interested in how you did the forks... Did you use the XRs triple trees, and how did you mount your speedo and such? Did you have to moddify the trees?
