Could you describe how how you made them and maybe a few more pics of that area of the bike? I believe you did a good job on your Scrambler. Kenny G

Thanks! The mid controls is something I did in a hurry just to get going.
It's the stock plates and leavers that is mowed and mounted on a new braket. The problem is clearens to the chain. And the looks of the stock stuff. I can take some pics. Hopefully there will be some time soon to build a braket simular to rycas.

Thanks all for the comments! I really do like the bike.
On the track I road in a KTM skinn suit if u look closely Wink

It was a small track and I had no problems keeping most of the street bikes behind me Cool

I resently put clip ons on the bike and it really behave well in the curves.
The tkc 80 tires is obviously not the best on the track, you have to be careful with the right hand out of the turns.

Thanks, Kenny G

Just awesome!

As for racing, it's 99% rider until you get to the upper echelon. Obviously you can ride!

I would be interested in more details on your build. I found this forum when I was searching for cool LS650s and S40s for inspiration for my project. This is one of the coolest builds I've seen!

Great job and great pictures. Very nice to see you back here.

I'm doing a similar build with the remnants of my 1998 Savage. was going to be a chassis donor for a rigid build, but, I like the local dirt bike park and don't want to buy a real dirt bike. Have a donor bike lined up to replace my destroyed factory engine/electrical. Have the 7/8" bars with drum front brake control, bike converted to drum years ago. Building a BSA racer seat to go with the race tank it already has... Even have a period looking chrome/stainless fender for the rear, with a period taillight.

Can't wait to see pictures of your foot control set up. Local shop has offered to build my 18" rear wheel and custom cables. Your bike has inspired me to build an actual for fun bike, that just happens to be (barely) street legal.
