Did that exhaust start out as one unit you think or is it a combo?

Does anyone have some pic of a clean "Street Tracker"? Perhaps of pic of Robert's TZ 750 miler? I think a 4 cyl Street Tracher could look very sharp. I like the look of the old racebikes, form follows function.

Yanno, as I look at that pic, do you think it wont start and he is deciding to push it or try it again - in the middle of the street?  I hope he pushes it 'cause there ain't no pipes on it.

The bike isnt finished.. Hence no brake/clutch lever, etc. 

As for the wheels/tires, I was about to ask that here.  I know the tires are branded by firestone.  And I do also know he is running 4" wide f&r.  I'll dig up his build thread once I get home.


WOW  :o

I feel as if this bike would just be too cumbersome and heavy to really enjoy, but then again, I have yet to ride one ;)

Neither are finished yet, but 1 for all you CB guys and another for you chopper types

1st one is Benji out of New Jersey (coolest CB pipes ever)   2nd is from Fuller Hotrods out of Atlanta (rear tire is 32" tall inflated !!)



Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

If Benji's ever makes those pipes for 550's I might have to seriously consider them! Beautiful.

Those pipes are flat out SICK!! Im think we need to get a group of ten or so of us together and see if he will give us a group buy special on these.

Info on the front suspension? Looks interesting, possibly just custom covers?

Tire size info?

Whats the deal w/ that rear rotor.. LOOKS HUGE!!!!!
