JD -After finishing my Sidecar rig Tracker Build Featured here a year or so ago. I began on this one. 976 XS650 hardtail chopper with GSXR 600 front end conversion. This thing was hacked on pretty bad when I got it and It was a perfect candidate for a Hardtail. I had Jon and the crew @ Monstercraftsman put one of the first Mk21 hardtails on it along with a monoshock seat kit. The front forks were tossed and fitted with a 2005 Gsxr Front end. I spun up custom spacers on the lathe for the wheel and pressed the stem out and machined a bushing to fit the stock stem to the Gsxr lower.
I had cognito moto make me a top tripple with the correct offset and found a pair of speedmetal clip-ons to finish it up. The motor was torn down and inspected Beadblasted and had the valves cut and put it all back together. A Pamco ignition and Hughs handbuilt PMA were installed along with a antigravity batter tucked down where the started used to live. The carbs were also gone through and rebuilt. Pandemonium ya mama pipes were powder coated, wrapped and fitted with a custom heat shield.
The wheels then got pulled apart and powder coated and put a fresh set of tires on, along with a new set of 17/32 sprockets and a DID chain. The speedo is a Koso XR-S and the pick up runs off of the rear sprocket to keep everything tidy.
