Sachs 650 Street tracker/ Now with video !!!!!!

[jeff4uk]

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

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)

[jeff4uk]

put in a bit of body filler over the welds

[peteGS]

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

[jeff4uk]

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...

[jeff4uk]

Man that was a flaff!!! Thats the best i can do ,Im happy with the result and with a pro paint/filler job at Daytona paint will look smooth



Need to tidy up wiring now and fit the K&Ns

[peteGS]

Perfect! That makes the tank flow nicely to the seat and tail, just what the Dr ordered 

[jeff4uk]

So im trying some other shocks (not bad !) Fitted the horn,indis and thorttel cable and trying to tidy up the back of the two seats ill be useing




the holes from the frame cut off will be filled in and painted black, ?

[peteGS]

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.

[jeff4uk]

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

[peteGS]

Nice work! And don't worry about slow progress. Slow progress is better than no progress 

[jeff4uk]

true mate very true.

[Erskine]

Just have to say how much I like that frame of yours. Got a great design pedigree

[jeff4uk]

Thanks Erskine ,here;s a vid of it up and running


Sounds well loud in real life !!!
