thats a TRACY body kit...well, it sure looks like on.

The bike is in bad shape are these worth anything? $500 for the bike

flybox1 · « **Reply #4 on:** August 17, 2012, 02:53:28 PM »

parts bike or titled? either way, they dont come around often.
only seen one up here in the PNW. it was a 400F with a tracy body.
looks like there are braces over the rear suspension

for $500, i'd do it, with the thought that a few years and $2000+ could easily go into making it a solid bike.
check out the chrome 836 tracy that seaweb did. pg 25

Motor kicks, title is there. Pretty much looks like everything needs to be gone through

Tracy Body kit, not valuable. 70's cool but kinda ugly today.

Many of the Tracy body kit I've looked through this forum are mostly rounded especially the tail end???

Valuable to someone who wants one but otherwise, yeah.
The rims would be worth something but it looks like they've been painted which means they'd have to be stripped & refinished.

You were right! I looked at them closely and they were covered with black paint, grease and dust! Underneath looked gold

Dyskord mentioned these are called kimtab snowflakes wheels

Each wheel is worth more than $500.....I don't know if its a Tracy body but it dates to the late '70s early '80s.

Well here she is.... 3 hours later sitting lifelessly in my Honda element in front of her new 'home'. My oldest son on the other hand seems to be very excited about the "red" bike

You bought it?! Congrats. Welcome to the "I have too many projects" club!

goldarrow · « **Reply #14 on:** August 17, 2012, 07:44:12 PM »

4 Benjamin in exchange for the title, bike, carb and air box!

Thanks Steve. Someone here said one can never have too many projects and bikes, and that mentality stuck in my head ever since! Lol

Get a hitch and a cheap ass utility trailer. My wife would kill me hauling a bike like that

I dont think he's selling. I know he likes mag wheels!

Really? · « **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:25:38 PM »

I have two projects and that is too much. I woulda turned it into three!

goldarrow · « **Reply #18 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:34:39 PM »

Still cleaning up some space for the bike. Undecided on what to become of it. Won't have detail pics until late tomorrow.

Parting out?
Cafe it?
Restore as as runner?
Whatever the case, I'm keeping the wheels!

Steve you know me too well hahaha...

I like mags, but not that crazy about them though...just because I tried to true my cm400 spokes for two afternoons and I got no progress whatsoever.

Quick glance at the bike

- some 60k miles!
- oil cool unit but missing hoses
- electrical looks shot
- 4 into 1 exhaust system, cannot see brand marking. May be a MAC system. Looks rusty but no dents.
- clubman bar. Are there such thing as 'real' clubman bar? ( thats what the seller said) I see these all over the net and I don't see anything so significant about them....just curious
