Project TriBSA Street Tracker

Having discovered that long low custom bikes aren't really my thing I have decided to rebuild my TriBSA as a street tracker, that is a street bike that takes its styling cues from flat track racers.

Progress so far (Feb 2004) has been limited to

Extending the slots in the box section swingarm to shorten the wheelbase

Purchase of longer shocks from Hagon to restore ground clearance

Purchase of a fibreglass XR style seat unit from Unatec Product Design

Purchase of rearset footrests from Barleycorn

Purchase of a set of steel flat track bars from Flattrackmotors

Purchase of a pair of TZR wheels

Machining spacers to fit TZR in box section swinging arm

Machining cush drive to restore chain alignment

Purchase of a set of TZR forks

Purchase of a set of billet alloy yokes from Bowden Auto Engineering in Bristol. These yokes allow me to use the standard A10 headstock with the TZR forks


This picture shows the TZR wheel in place, but before the spacers were made up. Since this photo was taken I have fitted the yokes, forks and wheels. This means the bike is at least a rolling chassis, which makes it easier to move about the garage.

The bike is still a long way from completion, but I'm in no great hurry. The major tasks that need doing are

Obtain a tank, either a suitable second hand tank or a custom made alloy one

Fabricate a subframe for the fibreglass seat unit

Mount the rear set footpegs and convert rear brake to hydraulic operation to match the TZR disc brake

Rewire

etc.etc.etc.....
