Everyman Tracker Build Pt.8: Pre-Wiring Wrap Up
I know, I know. I promised you wiring in this installment, and it's been so long since you've seen anything about our Honda CB550 street tracker project that you forgot where we even left off. I could make some excuses, tell you I've been busy, but how about we skip all that and get to the point? While wiring is no doubt a daunting task, we've got a good chunk of the build done, and it's time to start thinking about the final stretch.
In this episode, we tackle a few tasks that have been lingering in the background while we focused on more pressing matters. We replace the OE clevis with custom Punisher XL foot pegs using our trusty welder, giving us factory-style fitment without sacrificing pivot adjustability. Next, we swap out the center stand for a spring and pinch bolts, shaving off several pounds of unnecessary weight and clutter.
We also tackle the pipes, finally affixing them to the engine with some clever frame mounting solutions. It's been a wild ride trying to navigate the numerous hardware options that mount these pipes to the bike, but we manage to come out on top. Now it's time to move on to the next hurdle: wiring.
I won't claim to be a master of anything, but I'll be the first to say that wiring is my kryptonite. It's an evil I can avoid no longer, and I'm both excited and terrified about what lies ahead. But we've made it this far, and with the help of some amazing sponsors, we're ready to take on whatever wiring throws our way.
