You've been asking for this bike for some time now. I found this for you on a Euro site:  Here's a link: Carclassic.com They also have some VERY cool cars and bikes. You can even buy a used Formula 1 race car (if you have some DEEP pockets) | ||

Nice site! Will be visiting it frequently. Note: The other model available was a tad cleaner. LOL Still, this is an actual dirt track racer and I am looking for a StreetTracker (street legal model) for Styling, Profiling and some country thrills. Can get one out in CA and a perhaps a few other domestic locations. Bartell's even had a conversion kit for Sportsters at one time (cafe racer kit too) but I haven't seen it on their website lately. Would like to do something like that with my X1 motor in it. That is if I can't buy a ready made model with a V-Rod engine or some other monster motor. Would like to give HD the business but alas, first come first sold. | ||

stortz markets the flat tracker and 60's style road race kits. i really like the road race setup. | ||

Still, this is an actual dirt track racer and I am looking for a StreetTracker (street legal model) I suspect that this is actually street legal, just made to look more race, i have yet to see a dirt tracker with a front brake, i bet there is a small headlight and tail light tucked some where R | ||

Used to see both style's up at the Rock Store all the time. Great looking conversions. That Cafe racer is really a hot number. Gee, looks like now all I need to do is trade the Buell for a souped up Sportster. Yeah, like that is going to happen. The conversions won't work with an X1 frame and I don't want to give up the X1's performance. FYI, it is Storz, not Stortz. Had a major brain fart with my search engine until I remembered that. LMAO | ||

Rog...the site Dennis referred to lists two real XR's which are track only. You know, magnetos, no lights, no smog, etc The Storz Kits cosmetically change a Sporty and provides for some handling mods. Looks great, but nothing to write home about in the performance department as the engines are not up to Buell standards. Big difference between a Buell and a Sporty spec engine. | ||

NRHS used to sell street trackers, 120 RWHP and 350 LBs makes for a scary fun ride. I'd opt for the front brake though.  | ||
| Outrider |
Ahhh, would that be the Dual Disk Front Brake??? | ||

sorry about misspelling storz. been a while since i drooled over their catalog! i was looking to buy a used 5 speed sportster and build a killer motor and use the roadrace kit. total was around 12,000 dollars or more. stopped by the h-d-buell dealer and was talking it up with a salesman when he said "we have some buell m-2's for 8,000 bucks". i would still like the roadrace looking setup but i have not regretted buying my cyclone at all. | ||

Hmmm...now you guys have me thinking and, at this age, that usually ends up in me getting into deep yogurt. LOL | ||
| Bomber |
that is, in fact, an XR750 -- I've seen a few street legalized, and ridden one . . . . .good fun, but spendy if there's lights on that sled, they get really dim when idling | ||
| Outrider |
if there's lights on that sled, they get really dim when idling Are you implying the same applies to the fellow that covets one? Like me? LMAO | ||
| Bomber |
outie -- I'm not sure I've ever seen you idling go ride for those that can't, fergoodnesssakes! | ||
| Outrider |
Hey...Life has a whole new meaning. Well, at least for my X1. Jens just posted a website for Hillbilly Motors and look what I found in their project file...  I know I could live with this bike for a long long time!!! | ||

Outie: Yeah, it looks good to me too, but jeez it's so green!! rt | ||
| Bluelightning |
Well, ya know green is the color of money and you gotta have plenty of green to make all of the changes that bike has. | ||

The thud you just heard was Bill falling into his monitor. | ||

Oh Oh....Glitch has his crayon box out again. I still wonder how a guy that creative can keep it inside the lines. Man, I draw all over everything. LOL | ||
| Outrider |
RT...Just as long as it isn't OD Green like Kawasaki did to the KLR when it got drafted by the Marines. | ||
| Outrider |
Mike...Nice Pic. Remember when those bikes did everything from the mile to scrambles to hillclimbs. Now that was "Multi-Purpose." | ||
| Mikej |
More like multi-use, back in the days of run what ya brung races. So, have you pulled the plastic body parts off your X1 yet????? | ||
| Outrider |
Not yet...still looking for the hacksaw! | ||
| Buellkowski |
If I'm not mistaken, the bike in the background of Mike's pic is a H-D Sprint (Aermacchi). Never saw one in a dirt-track config... | ||
| Outrider |
Hmmm...didn't Harley sell the Sprint in a Scrambler version as well? Can anyone confirm that with a "coffee table book" or something? | ||
| Outrider |
Ok...got the hack saw and the hammer. Am ready to tear into the X1 now, but first I need somebody to answer me one question... What happened to the Battery in the pic I posted? Any suggestions? | ||
| Glitch |
What happened to the Battery in the pic I posted? I left it right there, never touched it, I promise! | ||
| Glitch |
Oh yeah, crayons are cool! | ||
| Darthane |
Glitch, you need to send me an address and directions... |
