Been Around the Block
After selling my successful CB200 cafe racer and pawning off my CX500 resto, I have started a new endeavour. I've finally come to realize that a 400cc bike makes most sense for me. Here in BC, 400cc is the largest displacement in the cheapest insurance bracket. I'm going with Street Tracker / Scrambler purely for comfort. I picked up this beauty for $700. She needs a top end - else everything is mint. Almost to mint to chop...
Plans as follows:
Engine:
- Top end rebuid
- DCC VM32's
- pods
- modern GM coil
- Iridium plugs
Exhaut:
- Ditch H-box
- dual shorty reverse cones
Suspension:
- 2000 Yamaha R1 fork
- RFY rear shocks
Brakes:
- 2000 Yamaha R1 leftside rotor, caliper, lever
Frame:
- chop rear frame and replace with hoop (w/ lip)
Seat:
- flat pad w/ lip dark brown
Headlight:
- 4" bottom mount off-centered
- aluminum raceplate
- HID
Electronics:
- Relocate under seat and behind race plate
- 4 cell A123 Lithium bat
- LED blinkers
Paint:
- since the tank is near mint, probably going to just clear coat
- frame, wheels, etc will be black
Wheels:
- front is original comstar 18"
- rear replace 16" with semi matching 18" comstar
Tires:
- Shinko 705 4.10 x18 w/ tubes
