That is one rad tracker! Lots of things for me to look at there for ideas, looks like its finished to a really high standard. I was looking at the FTR's before i got the CB but they are really rare and expensive imports in the UK. Finally got round to doing a mock up of the end bike today:

can you share what tires and sizes those are? Really like how they look.

Cheers! Its the stock rim on the front with a 3.50 Cheng Shin C180 tyre and then a new wm3 rim on the rear with a 4.00 Cheng Shin C180. Think clearance is fine probably 5mm at least at the front with the front forks either side and as far as i can tell loads at the rear, probably as large as you can go without major mods as far as i can tell. Liking the progress on yours sbaugz

like those tires. Unfortunately they are not available in USA from what I can see. Guess I will have to keep looking for some tires for my CB360.
Thanks for compliments regarding my build- I seem to be at a standstill for the past 5 months while I wait for the fabricator to build my seat. Should be getting it back next week and then things will go together quickly. Put some Duro tires on mine but I really like those C180's. Just wish I could buy them here.

Keep me posted on your progress, ive got to tackle the seat soon so am interested to see what you come up with! I think those tyres are pretty much like the Dunlop K70s which i was originally going to get but the Cheng Shins were cheaper in the UK

I have the dunlop K70s on my RYCA cafe bike. I love those tires.
My seat is going to be a traditional cafe style seat. I have a guy making one for me because I couldn't find a fiberglass one I liked. He is making mine out of sheet steel and hand forming it using an English wheel. Should be nice if he ever finishes it.
Now, my CB60 build on the other hand is going to have a tracker style seat like your Deus inspired picture above. I was hoping to put the sheng chin tires on that bike too, but will have to look elsewhere. We can still get the K70s in the USA but not in the smaller sizes needed for my build.
Good luck with your build- I will be following.

Did you use the stock rim width for a 200 to accommodate those tires? I have a cb200 also and I want to do 3.50 front and back but i'm not sure if the stock rim width is enough for that size?
