Dirt Bike to Vintage Style Tracker Conversion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 янв 2018
- I love the look of vintage style motorcycles, but I don't have the $$ to buy one. In this video, I'll show you how I took a basic dirt bike and converted it into a sleek off-road tracker. This can be done by anyone with a little metal working skill and a vision of what they want.

This video feels WAY longer than 4 minutes, in a good way! You packed more content into 3 minutes and 46 seconds than some youtubers fit into 25 minutes. Fabulous video! It just gained you a subscriber.
Thanks man!!!! 🙌
SO BEAUTIFUL! teach me senpai .D
Great point this is exactly what I like to see
-Shouldn’t be too hard
* 2 mins in *
-Now I’m going to use my welder
Welding is not hard and you can get used ones for free or next to nothing or get a friend to weld it
kinda liked the original wasted orange of the tank but hey the result looks awesome!
Yeah, honestly, I probably would have just sanded it a little, and clear coat all of that story-telling goodness.
Tristan Wilder tbh I would have went with a much darker grey
Yeah orange was better...
I was just coming down here to say the same thing.
+1 on the orange tank. Go for mad max.
"make your own" that is message we need. Thank you!
Cool video. To all those arguing about making the original bike was better/worse, it is all about making the bike "Yours". Those who truly love bikes already know this.
One suggestion, I'd like to make to those who may attempt this, make sure the bike you want to buy, actually runs well. If the seller claims it wouldn't start due to dead battery or some lame excuse, bring your own spare battery or battery jumper to see if you can actually start the bike to minimize the chance or getting a real POS that will create additional headache, time and money on the project.
Turco949 👍 Great suggestion
High quality video man, I wish it was longer and more in depth! Would love to see the process of how everything came together, how you restored the tank, how you did all the wiring, what parts you used (brand of headlight & seat), and more footage of the bike!
this is truly inspirational and i thank you so very much for giving me an idea of what to do with my childhood dirt bike!!!!!!
I know what im gonna do this summer!
Thanks buddy, it looks great!
I freaking love the look of these bikes. Sick video man!
This is great. I will put this on my to do list. I love it.
your channel is pro. Keep putting out vids like this and you'll get your subs up. Good luck man, I enjoyed this so much!
love it..love the functinality of a dirtbike, and the style of a scrambler...good job!
"don't have the cash to buy one" ...dude you have a 5 grand toolkit, a 10 grand car and a huge garage (ie, huge house), you got dis!!
That car is waaaaay over 10 grand!
Yeah because he wants to spend another 15k on one of this vintage bikes
He probably made his tools from scratch, then built his house with them, and then rebuilt a go-cart into that car ;)
Tocko Efterbliven Yes!! 😂👌 exactly
Anyone can afford anything, just not everything ;)
F%€# yeah! I've been wanting to do this to my Yamaha tw200 for a few years..I think it's time I got off me a$$.😬 and 👍👍👍 on the track🎶, Fu Manchu!
Good job, stunning looks!
Love the final result! 😍😍🤘🏼👊🏼👏🏼
That´s amazing. Epic build!
Super inspirational, man! And great story telling! Also a super cool bike!
isnt it COOL??
Awesome work man! That thing looks great!
Great build man!! I also love the sunset view! That's dope!
KINGINAMOTO THANKS!!!
i want absolutly others videos with this bike please! This is the best scrambler video
Swietna przebudowa!
Very cool and you still get the modern ride and reliability
Great video! Instantly inspired; already on Craigslist! Keep up the good work!
Legoinmyfoot That’s Awesome!!!!!
Awesome video, great looking bike!
Nicely done and awesome when you were riding with the sunset behind you
Thanks. Very useful for scrambler building!
Great job! Congrats!!
Great job!! Your video skills are top notch too.
Nice job mate, really inspired me one day I'll try making my own
guys with all the tools and skills making things look "easy". A simple fabrication of a couple of steel extenders for my cruiser and reinstalling the rear lights took one entire day
you're an inspiration man 💪
Yooooooo this is straight fire !!! Great work !!
Very nice! I did the same because I share the same idea. Keep up the great work!
2:40 best line ever
That FU MANCHU I hear!? Love those dudes man, sweet build btw
Good job, the bike looks awesome !
Thats awesome,especially because it still works like a dirt bike instead of the normal scrambler that hurts to hit bumps on.
My first bike was a 125 dirt runner. Loved that bike and wish I still had it.
Brother you have mad skills. Thumbs ☝.
At least 2 weeks of work condensed into 4 minutes
Dodek72 #truth
just needed some inspiration, thanks man
Loving the budget tracker movement.
Fu Manchu... hell yeah dude
Parabéns cara ,ficou muito top!
This is reallt cool! Great video😄
Great build! Impressive with the limited budget.
I have watched this video 6 TIMES, NO JOKE THIS IS GREAT!!
Awesome video!
Congratulations!!! You tripped the value of that dirt bike
I can see the future, this channel is going to be massive.
You mean , you can see the past. The dirt bike was the future 😂😂
🤯 major inception going on rn
Dude I like it. Good job 👌🏻
Pure gold. Love it
sweet build dude!
PRETTY COOL! nice work
the tank in the OG state was fine, i would clear coated ithe whole thing and that's it, awesome build
Brother.. this is straight fire
Just watched this in 2020 and it’s awesome I wish I had the smarts and stuff to do that!😎
Lance Bowers Hey! Best way to learn is try! Just start somewhere!
wow man that is so cool. i didnt know there was a name for that style. and i thought it could only be done on certain bikes. i guess it only takes a little frame reconstruction.
Totally going to do this and make it street legal with a 83 Yamaha 500 I'm buying used for 450! Love it so much
Really inspiring my friend
Nice work man!
Amazing work Boss :)
I loved this video, plz make more involving dirt bikes
Thank you for actually riding it 😘
Great lookin ride
Thats just super awesome
This is so cool love ur idea
this is a big inspiration for me.
blue105 That’s Awesome!!!
Same
I am probably going to buy a Tao Tao 140 and do this to it
awesome! crazy how much used bike prices have increased during and post covid!
Great job.
Dude, this is awesome! Nice work!! Makes me miss my old 2001 YZ125! I'm slowly building up an old Honda CB750 on my channel.
The Moto Barn That’s awesome!! I’ll check it out!
Thanks man! I'd love for you and anyone here to subscribe! I'll be putting another video out this weekend!
Nice build man!
WOOOWWW you made this look so fucking easy!! Love this
This is sick man
looks pretty cool
Woow, this custom is amazing 😍
from italy👍🏻
Wait you only have 811 subs but yet you do these amazing videos?!?!
2k now :P
I know right?
Great production value.
*5.1* *k* *now*
*5.3 k now*
5.5k
Thumbs up for Fu Manchu!
That really looks sharp. I'd only add two things: Preston Petty fenders. The fenderless look works for cafe racers, but if you don't want dirt and mud burying the bike and you, gotta have fenders. A dirt bike looks strange with out dirt filters.
I came here to bitch at you for ruining a Yamaha dirtbike, but upon seeing that this was some off brand bike props to you sir. Good job!
Alex Khoroshilov Build on a budget bro!!! 😂👍 I needed something to do
looks great
simple and nice changeover
Subbed. Also thanks for putting in the desc how much it all costed to make this, I also plan on turning my dirt bike into a vintage look so I can ride it anywhere without buying a new one.
Great video.
Your comparison was to street trackers but all you have is a dirt bike-- no tags, no insurance-- you still have to haul it to and from the trail. By the way, it looks sharp as hell.
Great job
i love this video, i think ill try doing this
I have a 1985 klr 600, damn I want to change it into a scrambler too now. But it's already a vintage trail...
But the look of it worth the modifications. I will think about it
Nice Project!
Fu Manchu on the soundtrack!!
Yeah, you got a new sub. Cool video
Sexy vintage bike build off bro ...👍
dude that is sick! how much steel fab skill would you say is needed for a build like this?
Danny A Thanks man! Just basic cutting, bending and welding!
Absolutely love it!!!
Danny A non get a mate with skills to help
Subscribed!!! I recently tried flat tracking and I got such a buzz off it (first on Honda CRF100Fs to learn then onto a Harley Davidson Street Rod!) I wanted to make my own flat tracker out of a little ybr125 or cg125. Do you think these types of bikes are suitable as a donor bike or would a dirt bike be my best bet? Absolutely loved this video. Thumbs up!!!!
Awesome job, man! Congrats!
Video tip: lower the music a bit so we can hear you better! If mics are possible, that's appreciated too.
Awesome video brother, I’m Building Cafe Racers on my channel and about to start a Scrambler/Tracker on a budget soon with a full price breakdown like you did. Love your video and editing skills :) who is doing the filming when you where riding the bike? Those were some bad ass shots!
Thanks a bunch bro! Means a lot. I’ll definitely come check your videos out! My brother helped with the action shots, check him out @thechrisbrent
Another thing to add. These bikes are great for folks who want a custom bike , but have limited $$$ and skills. Every bike I've started on seems to draw good people out that have good ideas and skills to share. A young Buck should tell others what his plan is and try to get in with others to find ,get ,or borrow parts from. Most people who build and ride these beast just like working , building on them and are happy to help a new friend to get the wind whipping on their knees.
Talent
And passion
Congratulations
Awesom :)
That came out awesome. I’m surprised you don’t see more people doing this
I know right!
Probably because it's not Street legal.
mojots can’t you just add mirrors and turn signals and then get it registered??
Good Job on the build, have you thought of putting the fiberglass flat tracker seat fairing on it to give it more style 👍
