I’m trying to figure out a decent headlight setup for my yam 750 streettracker. I had an ama # plate with a small rectangular light assy. mounted under the triple tree, looked cool but kind of hoakie for the street. I just tried a rectangular 5 x 7 with the tomasselli type brackets, brackets good but rectangular assy.shows too much steering stem. I have to go to somekind of round light about 6″. I don’t like the headlight # plate combo. Nice harleys here but even though their headlights are round and period correct they look like crap and suck! They need to be drawn in as close as poss, etc. and maybe even a different style. If this message isn’t posted I guess your not into constructive criticism. Thanks

The bike in the pictures is indeed our prototype. Check grandnationalreplica.com we are finishing our 6th machine the price is currently $24,605 with a powder coated frame. This bike is licensed in Minnesota. It has a side mount license and tail light. These bikes are made to order. So if you need fenders, evaporative canisters, etc. we can do that.

The 750 motors are not practical for the street. The motors we use have an alternator for the lights, electric start so you don’t have to push to start them. Virtually the same power output, Johnny “Showtime ” Murphree was riding it on the half mile in Davenport IA at speed. Let’s see some one do that on a 883R.

We have chassis kits available too. They currently accept the Buell XB motors in either 900 or 1200cc configuration.

Of course I remeber Chubby & Denny they got me to jump out of my first airplane. Plus Chubby & I used to race together. We were roomates in Sacramento. I could many many stories.

You can go to http://www.grandnationalreplica.com to find out more. Bill has trimmed the price a little from what is mentioned above. It seems a bit spendy, but you get what you pay for. All of the core components are per spec of Jay Springsteen’s miler. ‘J’ of C&J chassis built the first frame and they are now being production run in MPLS. The XB12 motor is being used for durability and cost. Face it, an $18,000 XR-750 motor would be a gernade on the street.
