just wanted to re-introduce myself to the forum I originally signed up under a different user name but was not aware that there was already a member with a very similar name so i decided to change it.been picking up great info and have seen some very impressive bikes that have given me some...

yep folks september the 2nd is etched in my mind as the tracker roared into life today. it is F*cking LOUD The whole street came out, dogs barked, cats ran off. Its a beast, it shakes and burbles and... and I'm stoked :bike: the front brake needs bedding in, and I need to fine tune...

Its here! the tracker tank has finally arrived. I still have to finish off the rewire, but the end is near! this is the only picture you're gonna get till i get it running and some decent pictures done.

well folks, started the rewire tonight and will add the stages as and when I complete them. If I do it this way, I can remember what I did rather than trust my crap memory. this is for my tracker without starter, indicators and with an ignition relocation. Plan This is the most important...

You've seen it here first fellow XS400 owners. Drewpy's Clutch window.... :bike:

So my last remaining 4 stroke needed to some attention. I decided to build a Tracker. It's not yet completed. I'm fabbing a headlight...

Well i picked this thing up a couple months ago in the ghetto of San Antonio non running for $100....Today i have another $75 invested and a lot of time. Not quite finished but pretty happy to say i rode it today! I was going for a bratstyle but as i got deeper into it, it took on a shape of its...

Man, I had all of my wiring issues licked. I then decided to simplify the mess, and now my lights don't work. I'm trying to figure out where I went wrong. I removed the right switch (run/off/run) wiring, and all of the turn signal stuff. My bike is just a kicker. I'm running a head & taillight...
