The Toronto Motorcycle Show went down this past weekend. I dropped my bike off and setup my show space Thursday night then returned Sunday for the custom bike awards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since there was no street tracker class I entered the cafe racer class. Project XTracker ended up placing 6th in the class 3 builder cafe racer class. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm happy with this. It's interesting comparing against higher placing bikes but ultimately I didn't build this bike as a show bike. I did however shoot to have the build quality to be show level</div>

Following a big push the last couple weeks I've got Project XTracker physically back together. This weekend is the <a href="http://www.motorcyclesupershow.ca/index.html" target="_blank">Toronto Motorcycle Super Show</a> and I made a personal goal in the fall to get the bike all wrapped for the show to enter in the custom build show.<br />
It has no oil. Wiring isn't done and it wont currently run but damn it looks good!</div>

One of the last items on the to do list of making Project XT look pretty was to freshen up the 40 year old plastic side panels. To do so I used a product called <a href="https://www.motosport.com/pc-racing-plastic-renew" target="_blank">Plastic Renew</a> from PC Racing (It may be discontinued now. It was hard to find). I had used it before on my old Honda XR200 offroad bike and it worked well. I got started by sanding down the plastics to remove the layer of old oxidized exterior plastic. 400, 600, 600, 1000 grit followed by steel wool and 00 fine steel wool. Then we applied the plastic renew to restore the shine. It essentially puts a thin layer of clear plastic on the surface. I did this while at my parent's place for Christmas.<br />

My Dad loves doing this type of fine detail work so he applied the multiple layers of plastic renew.<br />

Everything went well until I applied the side panel decals. When the plastic flexed it caused the plastic renew to de-laminate from the side panel and the decal was not adhered to the side panel. This resulted in the look of bubbles. So I ripped off the decal and re-applied the plastic renew and proceeded without the side panel decals.</div>

Last weekend Cam and I, along with some other buddies, headed over to Joyride 150 for a session on our BMX bikes. Our man <a href="http://www.davelevittphotography.ca/" target="_blank">Dave Levitt</a> brought his camera gear and snapped some great pictures of us. I'm especially stoked about the one where he caught Cam and I in the same frame. Nothing better than sharing a passion with your offspring and them being as stoked on it as you are!<br />

We rode for a solid 4-1/2 hours and Cam must have done 100 laps on the pump track. He progressed quite a bit in just 1 day and was ripping by the end of the day. I basically had to drag him away when it was time to go. Definitely need to get back for another session ASAP.</div>

I picked up my seat pad from <a href="https://www.haversackleather.ca/" target="_blank">Haversack Leather</a>. I quickly threw the tank and seat pan on the frame to check how it fits up. It's perfect! Natalie <a href="https://www.instagram.com/haversack_leather/" target="_blank">@haversack_leather</a> nailed the look I had in mind. The pleats give a nice vintage feel and matches up with the highlighted engine fins, wheel spokes and tank sticker. The black leather cover is feels really high quality. Give Haversack a social media follow, check out her other leather goods and keep her in mind for your next project. She's located in St. Mary's Ontario.</div>

Cleaning the 40 years of grime off the engine was a challenge to say the least. I think I spent 3+ hrs just cleaning the engine to prep for paint. The plan was to freshen up with new black paint and to sand the paint of the sides of the cooling fins. </div>

The wheels got the wire wheel treatment too to remove the majority of the old paint to prep for paint. The plan was to go with the same paint scheme as stock: black with polished spoke faces and rim lips. i thought about going all black with only the spoke faces polished but I thought it would be too black and make the aluminum finish forks stand out too much.<br />

The bike is now torn down and final weld out of added brackets done and shaving of the rest of the unused brackets like the exhaust hanger and steering lock below. Since I didn't have access to a big sand blast cabinet to fit the frame I went about cleaning it up with a wire wheel on a drill and a scotch brite type flap wheel on an angle grinder.<br />

Here are the wheels and frame drying. I got the paint done at my current employer - <a href="https://www.tigercat.com/" target="_blank">Tigercat Industries</a> (for free...) The paint is a 2 part epoxy paint that is used on heavy equipment for logging/ forestry. I figured that would be good enough for a motorcycle and the price was right. The finish is really quite nice - sort of a semi gloss.<br />

I also cleaned up all the aluminum parts to have them ready to be anodized. I sanded down each part to have a nice, smooth brushed finish. Any scratches would only be exaggerated with the anodizing. I ended up getting the anodizing done through my previous employer <a href="http://www.ddsamdi.com/" target="_blank">DDS Automated Machinery Design</a>. The majority of their parts are aluminum and get clear anodized so I was able to get my parts thrown in with one of their batches. Thanks Darren!</div>

This will be another lengthy post... </div>

I wanted to make a new seat to fill the gap between the seat and the tank that exists now. The seat pad shown is the same one my Dad used all those years ago. I decided to go the fiberglass route so that it will be formed to match the profile of the seat pan and tank exactly. </div>

I put down some carnuba wax on top of the saran wrap hoping it would help with the removal. Turns out it didn't make that much of a difference. I ended up having to take a wire wheel to the back side to remove the remaining bits of saran wrap.<br />

Turns out some of the resin leaked through the saran wrap and garbage bag and left some residue. I'll need to sand this down and re-paint the seat pan.<br />

I cleaned up the fuel tank mount by making up some spacers to accept a countersunk head screw. You can actually buy a very similar setup through <a href="https://www.thevintagespoke.com/shop/TT500/Fuel-Tank/Assembly/p/Yamaha-TT500-XT500-UPGRADED-Aluminum-Fuel-Tank-Mounting-Set-RH-LH-Set-00-003-x4523296.htm" target="_blank">The Vintage Spok</a>e. I figured since I could make my own on my lathe. I used some 1" aluminum round stock that I had from making my front number plate and tail section mounting washers. The fuel tank mounts also match the same design as these washers to tie it all together. Fun little project on the old belt drive Atlas lathe...<br />

This will be a longer than normal post as the installation of the <a href="https://motogadget.com/shop/en/motoscope-mini.html" target="_blank">motogadget motoscope mini</a> speedometer had a lot of details to sort out...<br />
I bought the unit from <a href="https://perthcountymoto.com/" target="_blank">Perth County Moto</a> back in the spring but only now got it installed - It was a busy summer but now its time to buckle down to get this think finished and prettied up.<br />

The sensor is a M5x0.5 thread. Super fine thread. I ordered a tap off chinese ebay and waited the month and a half for it to show up...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to mount the speed sensor off the rear wheel to keep the wiring as clean as possible. If I were to mount it on the front wheel there would be a wire running up the front forks which would be nearly impossible to hide. </div>

The kit comes with a magnet to use as the speed sensor target. I mounted it to the rear sprocket by drilling a small locating hole roughly half the depth of the magnet thickness. I ground off the end of the drill bit to get a flat bottom hole. </div>

Then I used some epoxy to stick it to the sprocket.</div>
<br />
To hide and protect the speed sensor wires I wanted to use some tubing ran down the swing arm. I got this idea off a previous bike of mine - a KTM 250EXC and I actually came across an old speed sensor and tube in my bin of old parts. This probably came from my Dad who never throws anything out (thanks again Dad!!). To attach the tube to the swing arm I drew some inspiration from bicycle cable housing routing and planned to machine some small tubes, weld them to the swing arm and route the plastic tube through them.<br />

Then came the 'fun' part... wiring it up. I suck at this stuff. Soldering the tiny wires took me forever. I didn't really take any pictures of this. The wiring circuit is fairly simple: power, ground, speed sensor, tachometer input and push button signal. For the time being I just wired in a simple push button loose dangling off the side of the bike for controlling the modes and configuring the unit. I will eventually add another of the same push buttons I'm using for the signals and horn on the handlebars. </div>

This was a great moment! I was able to take Cam along for a ride on project XTracker. What makes it so special is that I remember riding on the same bike with my Dad as a kid. My Dad actually made some foot pegs that mounted to the frame with some hose clamps to allow me to sit in front of him and stay comfortable & safe. Luckily my Dad is cheap and doesn't throw things out so naturally he held onto these footpegs for 25 years in a box in his garage!<br />
I mounted them up on the bike. They didn't fit 100% since I welded the rear brake master cylinder mount to the frame but they still worked.<br />
We went for a little 15 min ride and it was great. Cam had a blast and I loved bringing this full circle getting 3 generations of Bellamy boys onto this 40 year old bike! The XT isn't going anywhere so hopefully Cam is able to recreate with one of his kids in the future. Now that would be cool...<br />

With the extra holes in the tail section/ seat pan filled it I could now get down to painting it to match the fuel tank. The tank and original paint are in great shape so I couldn't strip it to change the colour. I originally didint like the brown but it has really grown on me. Keeping the brown will maintain a vintage feel of the bike and tie it back to when my Dad owned it.<br />
The Yamaha paint code is a 00V0 GGB Ginger Brown. While searching for that info I came across a thread on the XT500.CO forum with info on a readily available <a href="https://www.xt500.co/excellent-ginger-brown-paint-source-t7315.html" target="_blank">paint that matches really close</a>. The paint is from <a href="https://www.montana-cans.com/en/spray-cans/spray-paint/gold-400ml/montana-gold-400ml-colors" target="_blank">Montana Cans and is their Gold Series G 8100 Orange Brown</a>. I found a source in Toronto and ordered a can or paint and primer. This paint is geared towards graffiti and its a bit different than your standard aerosol paint. It's lower pressure and comes out slower in a larger 'cloud" so you can get a bit closer to the part you're painting. It ended up working out pretty good and the colour matches great.<br />
I picked up a can of higher quality (than tremclad) aerosol clear coat from my local Napa. It ended up with a bit of an eggshell finish but considering my minimal paint experience and small $$ invested I'm happy.<br />

This is the same flat track style seat pan/ tail section that my Dad had when he owned this bike. Like I said before he doesn't get rid of anything (thankfully!) There were some extra holes in it that I wouldn't be using so I wanted to clean those up. 1 on each side, 1 at back middle and 2 under the seat. I picked up a fiberglass kit from Canadian Tire, roughed it up and laid down some chopped mat and resin on the underside. I then filled the holes from the outside with bondo. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Later I'm planning to made a new fibreglass seat pan base so that the seat will extend right up to the fuel tank. </div>

License plates are a necessary evil for road motorcycles. They are ugly and clutter up a good looking bike. I opted to go with the vertical orientation mount off the left rear shock. Apparently this isn't quite legal as the plate is supposed to be horizontal but I'll risk it...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made my license plate mount out of some 1/8" aluminum plate and 2"x2"x 1/8" aluminum angle. I opted to drill and thread the mount holes to keep things clean and avoid needing nuts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The stock footpegs are pretty spindly looking and I heard elsewhere that YZ450 footpegs were pretty close. I found these stainless steel ones on <a href="https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Stainless-Steel-Foot-Peg-Rest-Pedal-For-Yamaha-YZ85-YZ125-YZ250-YZ450F-WR250F-/322106178954?hash=item4aff063d8a" target="_blank">ebay</a> for $25.<br />
The foot pegs took some machining to make them fit. They came with a 8mm mount bore. The XT is a 12mm shaft so that bore had to get drilled out. I also had to grind down the mounting boss to be more narrow. Finally, I had to weld in some new pivot stop points so that they pegs would sit flat and allow some rotation upwards.<br />
The gear shift lever is also new. I came across an<a href="https://www.thevintagespoke.com/shop/XT500/Frame--Body-Fenders-Side-Covers-Kits-Mounting-Hardware-Seat-and-Supplies/Foot-Pegs-Rubbers-Gear-Levers--Kick-Start-Levers/p/Yamaha-SR500-TT500-XT500-XT550-XT600-Foldable-Forged-Aluminum-Longer-Gear-Lever-01026-x4523310.htm" target="_blank"> aluminum shift lever on The Vintage Spoke</a>. It was supposed to fit XT, SR, TT500's but it required a bit of bending to get it to fit tighter to the engine side cover.<br />
Looks pretty rad now. Little more MX influence...<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since I diched the stock
airbox and other covers that functioned as an inner fender I had to make my
own. I started out making a cardboard template with cut outs around the chain
path, rear brake line and rear brake master cylinder actuator link. Then I
welded on some mounting tabs to the frame. I transferred the cardboard template
to some 16Ga aluminum sheet. It mounted up nice and closed in the frame to
protect the air filter. The clearance to the rear tire was a bit tight. After
riding it a bit I noticed a scuff mark where the rear tire was actually hitting
when the suspension compressed. I hit up Trevor Daley at <a href="https://www.onespeedchopshop.com/" target="_blank">One Speed Chop Shop</a> (again)
to help with adding a recessed section for more clearance.</span></div>

I bit the bullet and shelled out some $$ to but a set of aftermarket rear shocks. The stock ones were functionally OK but a little dirty & rusty. I felt like this project was progressing in a manner that it needed some aftermarket shocks to look right. I shopped around a bunch and settled on a set of <a href="https://www.yssusa.com/series-z.html" target="_blank">YSS Z-362 shocks</a>. I went with non-piggy back style shocks because I wanted to keep the shock mount license plate bracket.<br />
These shocks are custom built to you and your application . On the order form you give rider weight, bike model, type of riding, mounting dimensions, swing arm length, shock length and swing arm pivot to shock mount dimensions.<br />
I'm really happy with how these turned out.<br />

My parents were in town this weekend and the plan was to send home all the unused stock parts from the project bike with them to give back to George who gave me the bike. I thought it would be cool to take some pictures showing how much I've changed on this bike. Definitely #NotStock anymore...<br />

I welded in a piece of flat bar for a seat pan mount. I used some masking tape across the frame tubes to mark the existing holes in the seat pan. Drilled holes then welded in nuts on the back side. I'm using a counter sunk head fastener to bolt down the seat pan so it sits flush under the seat pad. </div>

I picked up these <a href="https://perthcountymoto.com/collections/builders-corner/products/motogadget-m-blaze-disc?variant=1799328727061" target="_blank">MotoGadget bar end signals</a> from <a href="https://perthcountymoto.com/" target="_blank">Perth County Moto</a>. MotoGadget stuff is so nice. Super high quality. Not cheap $$$... but I think its worth it. These bar end signals keep things real clean - no blinkers dangling off the side of your bike. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Up to this point I just had my little LED light bar strip on the back of the bike and the signals were not very bright/ visible. These signals are really bright and will definitely be seen plus no more hand signals! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was able to route the wiring through the handlebars to keep that hidden. Wired back to the MotoGadget relay for using the push button switches to control the signals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They mount with the simple rubber tube/ nut that wedges to the inside of the bar when tightened.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are some other less expensive bar end signals out there but none are as nice as the MotoGadget ones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I just got to keep from dropping the bike and smashing them...</div>

With a little help from Jeff at D4Performance I got project XTracker safe-tied, transferred into my name, insured, licensed and on the road.<br />
Since the bike was so old I also had to get an appraisal for the MTO so that they dont miss out on $20 worth of tax $$$. Luckily I found a dude online who for $40 will write you an appraisal for any value.<br />
Time to ride....<br />

I've really been slackin' on the project bike updates.... Sorry, not sorry... It was summer and I actually got project XTracker on the road! I've been riding it & BMX bikes and spending some quality time with my family. Now that summer is over and things are slowing down (kinda) I'll get some updates posted.<br />
Then it'll be time to tear the bike down and make it pretty!</div>

I tore into the front forks to change the fork seals. Once I opened them up I figured I should change the bushings and other seals & o-rings too. 3 trips to the bike shop later I finally have the right seals. When I picked up the donor front end from the salvage yard it was marked 1992 GSX-R 750 so I bought seals to fit. Turns out these forks are off a newer model because the '92 would have had 41mm lower legs and these ones are 43mm. From what I can gather off the interwebs they are most likely 1996. A note for all you builders make sure you check the parts and verify sizes before ordering parts to save headaches like me trying to force a 41mm seal onto a 43mm shaft...<br />
<br />
To get the forks apart I had to make a spring compression tool to access the nut to separate the top cap from the dampening rod. There is a 'special' tool you can get from Suzuki for this but I opted to make one. The spring spacer tube has 2 opposing holes so I dug around the garage and found that my tap die holder has to handles with tapped ends that fit the holes. I cut 2 pieces of steel angle, drilled and tapped holes for the handles and welded them together. Voila... worked like a charm.<br />

I also wanted to shave the unused brackets from the fork lugs. Since I'm only running a caliper on the left side and no front fender there are a bunch of ugly extra brackets. Once I got the lower fork leg apart and cleaned up I ran it though the band saw a couple times, then smoothed things out with a flap wheel on an angle grinder I cleaned it up more with a hand file, ran a wire wheel over the entire lug and buffed with a scotch brite pad. That seemed to produce a fairly even finish. We'll see how it looks after some time. I may need to polish the cut areas further to blend better and clear coat them. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. It'll look way better.<br />
