I know, it was acting funny before but they are showing up now right? Can you see them?

I like how you have the gauges mounted, reminds me of this guy:

J/K man, build is looking good!

 

[drewpy]

I can see it now, that seat is the same as mine for my tracker!
Ah Marty Feldman, saw him in Beau Geste

 

[NewChurchMoto]

Hahaha!!! thanks man! It's actually gonna just be a tach, and all that other BS will be gone.
Drewpy, did you get the seat from Glass From the Past? (I'm sure other people make those too.) It was originally from the Harley XR750 Dirt tracker, exact replica. I do all the seat uphostery for Glass from the Past and he gave me this one when I told him I was doing a street tracker build.
Tank is gonna be satin black, then I'm getting custom gold vinyl decals to match the ones like on this tank:

Speaking of...does anyone know what the difference is between the model with those decals and the normal ones? Is it a European release or something?

 

[drewpy]

those are the normal decals for me

it def is an xr750 seat, but i got it from a guy who abanded his project. Got the seat, front fender, pad and Tank for £70 ($130ish)

 

[NewChurchMoto]

Awesome!
Ahhh...then it must be a Euro version of the XS! I like those so much better than just the decals around the edge.

 

[drewpy]

you can still buy them as peeps remanufacture the graphics

 

[NewChurchMoto]

yeah, I've seen a couple on e-bay but none that offer them in gold. My sign guy is making me vinyl ones in gold to go with my theme and then I'm gonna clear coat the tank! I'll put more pics up this week, it should be done soon!

PS: Crush, you can call me man, I don't mind but I'm actually a woman, haha!

 

[crush1776]

whoa man!

 

[NewChurchMoto]

exactly.

 

[NewChurchMoto]

Here's an updated pic, it's getting there! Just needs the seat, tank coated and painted, then decals and I'm good to go!

 

[isigt]

looking good!

 

[bcware]

How are you mounting that seat section anyway? I am jealous! Is there anything under it for support? I need to figure something out for a seat on mine and I was worried about clearance over the various silly bits sticking up slightly on the frame. The frame is also not flat in that area, but rather has a bit of a curve. Is the fiberglass strong enough to bear weight with no base? I have a bunch of fiber glassing materials already.

 

[drewpy]

BC have a ganders at my tracker blog and I have the same seat. I also have the 2A2 frame. the seat just needs to be supported across the frame and will support your weight!

 

[NewChurchMoto]

Yeah, it's strong enough! There are some rubber shock mounts on the frame, and then it's bolted through the side rear section on each side. Also, when I do the seat, there is a separate upholstery pan that fits snugly onto the seat, with layers of foam so it ends up being pretty strong.

Yea I'm going to be buying a cafe seat from Glass from the Past!! They got a good slection. NCM you probably well being upholstering the seat, you guys do a great job!!

 

[NewChurchMoto]

Awesome! Look forward to it, thanks!
