Dirt Bike to Vintage Style Tracker Conversion
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.

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.

+1 on the orange tank. Go for mad max.
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!
"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.

I know what im gonna do this summer! Thanks buddy, it looks great!
Thanks. Very useful for scrambler building!
My first bike was a 125 dirt runner. Loved that bike and wish I still had it.
This is great. I will put this on my to do list. I love it.
Thats awesome,especially because it still works like a dirt bike instead of the normal scrambler that hurts to hit bumps on.
Very cool and you still get the modern ride and reliability
i want absolutly others videos with this bike please! This is the best scrambler video
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
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!
love it..love the functinality of a dirtbike, and the style of a scrambler...good job!
Loving the budget tracker movement.
I freaking love the look of these bikes. Sick video man!
Good job, stunning looks!
Love the final result! 😍😍🤘🏼👊🏼👏🏼
Nicely done and awesome when you were riding with the sunset behind you
That´s amazing. Epic build!
I can see the future, this channel is going to be massive.

Yooooooo this is straight fire !!! Great work !!
looks great
Brother you have mad skills. Thumbs ☝.
the tank in the OG state was fine, i would clear coated ithe whole thing and that's it, awesome build
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.
Thumbs up for Fu Manchu!
Pure gold. Love it
Good job, the bike looks awesome !
Congratulations!!! You tripped the value of that dirt bike
this is a big inspiration for me.

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
Great job.
Great lookin ride
Great job
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
Parabéns cara ,ficou muito top!
Thank you for actually riding it 😘
Really inspiring my friend
I loved this video, plz make more involving dirt bikes
This is sick man
Awesome video!
PRETTY COOL! nice work
I'd love a bike like this for a daily. It looks so light and nimble.
sweet build dude!
My grandpa used to race those bikes there really cool
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.
Shut up, I did do my own mod and now I'm poor having to look up budget stabilizers! Jokes aside nice work, made it look easy. Came for the gimbal, stayed for the bike.

Nice work man!
i love this video, i think ill try doing this
This is awesome! What do you think about installing some phaux (fake) shocks in the back & painting the arm from the frame to the back sprocket black, so it blends in a bit more? Seems like 125 is a bit small, a 250 might be better on the street as well
awesome! crazy how much used bike prices have increased during and post covid!
WOOOWWW you made this look so fucking easy!! Love this
How did you wire up a brake switch...I would love to see a video on the wiring side of this build. It would help me out alot.
Woow, this custom is amazing 😍 from italy👍🏻
great job!
