Another Suzuki Savage based kit (this time a street tracker) from the folks over at RYCA. I’m already a big fan of their cafe bike and a big fan of 650 thumpers. I may just have to save up a little coin towards one of these. Really freaking cool.

Thanks to Andreas Mikkelsen for the follow up pictures to this post that had a nice video cataloging the build. Great shots by the way.
Ed Shure pointed me to a for sale ad he has in the Boulder (Colorado) Craigslist. You don’t custom Mule’s like this come up for sale very often. Really excellent build. Oh and for the record, I don’t know him personally so if you’re interested in the bike please contact Ed through the Craigslist ad.
From Andreas Mikkelsen! This is no run of the mill build. The work that goes into this bike is amazing. The headlight is a work of art all by itself. And click through to check out the rest of the videos on Vimeo. Great stuff.
Hi mcpotd
A little surprised to see myself on your site 🙂 , thought I’d let you know that I also built the streetbike you can see in one of the other
videos made by Supermotard DK, this spring I want to have made some pro photos of the bike, ill
send them to you.Keep up the good work on your cool site.
Bedst regards from daily reader, Andreas Mikkelsen
Davis May sends these in..
Here is my 1973 Yamaha DT3/250. This is my first and only motorcycle. I bought it off Ebay three or four years ago now. I learned to ride on this machine. Its kinda of a mutt. I was not sure if I wanted an enduro or a flat tracker so I kinda did both.
Things I have done-
RD350 Triple Tree
Honda Front Wheel and Hub (went from a 21″ to 18″)
Fiberglass tail section that was built for a Triumph
Webco High Compression head
Expansion chamber(sorry no photos of it)
Relocated ignition switch
Relocated Speedometer (no tach)
Hand Made wiring harnessI have to give my friend Bill credit for the paint. He did all the hard stuff. I just buffed.
The cake is my wedding cake. My wife had to know what she was getting into.
I hope that you enjoy
That’s a great bike and an even better wife! Nicely done sir!
Edit: I mistakenly thought this was the “not available in the US W800 but it’s actually a W650 with a 724cc big bore kit installed… which does get the mind to thinking… 🙂
A big thank you to Rex Havoc at the Garage Project. Be sure to spend some time over there to check them out properly! They’re a well know outfit and their bikes have already been posted on the irreplaceable Pipeburn and BikeEXIF sites (please see the links section).
Thanks to Dave (AKA: pregrid) over on ADV rider for the permission to post this outstanding build.
In our correspondence he commented that: This has been a labor of love and I guess it shows. Just recently retired, this is my first build, well first BIKE build. Just got it running recently and the motor is really tired, So motor is out, paint work is being done (wait’ll you see THAT). Thanks for noticing
I’ve asked him to keep us up to date on his progress. I suspect that you’ve got some serious skills there Dave. especially for a first build.
