Now just wondering about going to a chain, but I like the clean. Need to bolt up a steering lock too.

Hey! that looks like mine, except I'm using 2 hockey pucks!!!!
Really, that is nice work. Set up as a tracker, these bikes are the most fun I've ever had on a bike.
I need to tidy up some details on mine to make it as clean as yours!
Trackers forever!!!! Cool

Q. is the Cheney both top and bottom? price and seller? Rear wheel size?

Thanks. The springs are the stockers, which are progressive. I'm about 160 lbs and put in 10 fork oil coz that's all I had. A million times better than the standard Ryca fork mod. In comparison to the Ryca mod, I'm on Öhlins GP forks. Next step,will be the gold valves, makE a new battery box for a mini battery and to give some more space to the VM carb.

Shocks are 13.5" from C-2-C, and a little stiffer than Ryca shocks, which were what I started with. The rear wheel is the Ryca standard 18" wheel. Like anything, it looks tidier from a distance. I'll clean up my wiring someday, its not super clean. I do love the light weight of the minimalist bike. No gauges etc.

Not sure, I just ordered the Ryca tail unit and seatpad pan and took it to a local upholstery guy and asked for the snap on kind. I like it, looks the part.

Cheney Engineering by Jerry Cheney, his website here: http://www.flattrackaccessories.com/ He's an awesome guy, retired racer and loves a good chat on the phone. His wife has a Savage.

$395 for the entire triple and stem (both upper and lower and stem). It's a bit wider, so I had him make me an axle also for an extra $65, and got it spaced correctly with some washers.

Rear wheel is the standard Ryca 18".

Rear wheel is Ryca aluminum wheel, 18", with Dunlop K70, 4 x 18". They are actually decent tires for around town.
