Re: Sachs 650 Street tracker/ fork brace/back light
I like what you've done so far, but that number plate idea looks off, man. If you're running a single seat, chop the pass peg mounts and that triangle brace the bolt into, then fab some side covers to go over that air box area or leave it open. But that squarish bit throws off some good lines.
Re: Sachs 650 Street tracker/ fork brace/back light
Thanks for the input Kev, Im running two seats on this bike duel seat for when the misses comes with and the singel for blates with my mates,The air box is going and will use K@Ns as for the number plate is a bit tricky here in the UK if i have it mounted on the side it will have to be on the right (number plates always spoil the look)
Cheers mate
Re: Sachs 650 Street tracker/ fork brace/back light
AAAAAAAA gotcha, No this idea has been ditched to a straight through and use K&Ns and hide the reg under the seat, the seat on it as in this pic is the duel seat and im fabing up a single at the moment (cant use a standard tracker seat there to narrow at the tank end for this frame and it kicks up at the back after 6 inches)
Any more obs and il be pleased to here them
Cheers
Re: Sachs 650 Street tracker/ No more air box / single seat fabbed
So spent today on the bike (wife was out) rear wheel has to come out to ditch the air box !!!!
and i fabbed up my single seat (spayed it to stop it going rusty and to give me an idea of colour view)
Re: Sachs 650 Street tracker/ No more air box / single seat fabbed
Mate well done! That should work nicely.
Can I suggest one little addition though? Maybe fab up a little trim piece for either side that extends from the front of the seat under the tank a bit to blend it in a little? Just to get rid of that very obvious step from tank to seat... just a suggestion though, that tail piece is a great shape
Re: Sachs 650 Street tracker/ No more air box / single seat fabbed
Thanks pete, ya this was always gonna be challenge to get this idea to flow with the tank, because of the shap of the frame under the tank, I may try exstending the flange at the base of the tank just to tayper it in???

Actually yeah that should work! Extend it down from the very front of the tank so it's just a gentle slope back, and if you can extend the white area down a bit that should help blend it in so it looks natural too...
Re: Sachs 650 Street tracker/ shocks and bits and bobs
Definitely getting there, and those shocks look the goods!
As for the open frame ends, I've seen that done two ways.
One is to weld a circular steel cap on.
The other is to use those plastic rubbery bits they put on the bottom of round steel chair legs, although I'm guessing you want a perfect fit with those or some glue so they don't fall out while riding.
Progress is slow now but the K&Ns came so there on
Also fabbed the seat ends, One the single seat i welded it on but on the duel seat this end bolts onto the frame via the washers inserted into the cut off holes
