Thanks very much invaders some love them some hate them i tell you what it was a job fitting them as they were for a harley but managed it in the end the front brake is not very good so thinking of putting a disc on.
 
Just noticed you are located in London, which area do you live in mate? I'm up in north in Crouch End.
 
Small world mate, I've got a few mates in Hackney, I was there only yesterday. I will have to come over and check out the bike in person to see how you managed to get them wheels to fit and the wicked tank.
 
certainly is yer pop over whenever weekend is best i often drive through crouch end up to Barnet are you building an xs?
 
Looks great my lodger has built a brattstyle xs400 i will get him to post when he is back in the uk, its your lucky day i got a welder so if its not too much i can weld your tags on for you.

hi drewpy thanks the tank is a weird chopper tank from the 70s i think moulded fiberglass original paint with white gold sign writing, i was watching your tracker build last year on your blog i had a xs400 tracker but sold it in december.

wow, that's high :D

mines taking a bit longer, but I'm enjoying the learning curve though.
trying to finish it this year. got a few updates since then
 
I've seen that picture before...I may even have it on my computer...do you have a website for your work/business that you've posted pictures of the tracker before? Graphic design or something like that?

Thanks for the offer of the welding, that would be brilliant. I need two crush tubes welding in the seat brace. I will pm you a picture, see what you think.
 
Hi its a reproduction bates seat 1'' thick from bearparts co http://bearpartsco.com/seats.html in my opinion they are the best reproduction there not cheep but comfy, i got mine wet which was a mistake but hard not to with uk weather but it is helping to add to the patina.
