The Spade was going to be a cross between a Tracker and a Scrambler. I love the styling of these motorcycles. However, the Brat Style bikes are really starting to grow on me because they are so different. Lower handlebars, new levers, a flat Brat Style seat and a few other parts have been ordered. The recovered stock seat, fenders and all the factory takeoff parts are going on eBay. The centerstand is next to come off the bike. New Pirelli SL60 dualsport tires arrived a few days ago. They look awesome. When the new seat gets here I’ll be making a fender eliminator plate, a license plate mount and installing the rear LED tail light and turn signals.
This bike project is evolving as I go. It’s a lot of fun for me and great to be working on a bike again. Once this is done, I may just dig that a Buell S1W frame and parts out of my shop and look for a cool engine to go into it. Do you think a Versys 650 engine would fit into it? I just happen to have one. I also have a couple KLR frames.
More pictures after the snow stops.
