River Rat Rider
So this might be a slow build thread but I was so inspired by all the people making trackers in this section I can't leave her stock. I plan on keeping all the original parts and not making any permanent changes to the bikes frame. So more of a bolt on build for sake of the bike.
I found it on a classified site out here in Ut. 6k original miles, she hadn't been run in about 10 years. Cleaned the carb, changed the oil, fresh gas, she fired up 4th kick. Idles perfectly, its kinda nuts how well it runs haha. She has a few oil leaks but I might do a motor tear down this winter, until then Im just riding and checking the level!
I just bought new tires, shinko 244s, so I dont really plan on changing the rim sizes. This will be a around town hooligan bike/camping desert sled/canyon beater, so it will be an all around bike.
I plan on getting some fat bars
Modifying the exhaust-Kind of want to go the low SR route but I want to keep my skid plate. so maybe the swept back motolanna? Or get another XT header and chop it before the carb and have an outside the frame scrambler style system.
Custom seat for sure- Hopefully I can find a thrashed xt seat and modify it
Taillight/rear fender- I want to change this up some how, smaller taillight and more upswept rear fender
Any ways those are my "plans", might be a while before I actually do any of them since it is such a fun bike to Ride!!
