Ok guys as the title suggests I'm trying to plan a tracker build using a Ninja ex650 and want to get as much info as I can before I even purchase a donor bike. If I was independantly wealthy I would use a modern Triumph Boneville but that's not in the budget (actually my sons budget).
So I will be leaving the engine stock at least initially. I definitely want to use 19" wheels with dirt track tires so I need suggestions for wheels that might work. I would really like to convert it to twin shock rather than the mono I can build my own swing arm. I may change out the forks also. What kind of geometry do dirt track bikes typically run and would that work ok for a street bike? I will build my own tank and seat also exhaust so that's not an issue.
Inspiration for this build would be any of the Mule motorcycles tracker builds!
Has anyone seen or built a tracker from one of these Kawi's?
I've attached a pic of what I hope to start out with.
