May gets my vote. One piece bodywork reminiscent of the Triumph X75. Metal flake paint. Very seventies!

...I just searched CB750 Tracy on Google. A whole world of one- piece kits for various biked. I hadn't heard of them before..has anyone seen one in the UK?

[SteveD CB500K0]

Not seen one here Andy.

When I was active on the US site (before I took over the running of this one in 2007) they were the go-to body kit.

A bit like our Dunstall or Rickman kits.

There’s a challenge for someone who wants to be a bit different. Source a kit and build a Tracy in the UK

There's a whole world out there that I've never seen before. I wonder if they made the Silver Dream Racer?

I had a look at the Tracy catalogue. Now I know why there aren't any in the UK! 😣 I  couldn't ride anything called a Penetrator!! 😂

Triumph Hurricane I've always liked, shame they are crazy money now.

Theres a Tracy CB350 twin for sale on Car and Classic at the momeny, if anyone is interested!  I think its the 'Starship' from page 11 of the catalogue!

And in case you havn't looked closely, the copy for the 'Penetrator', on page 12 is full of double-entendres.

Some don't look bad though

Even has an "AlanKelly" rear brake conversion too

I thought the 350, March was best, far too 750 orientated IMO. January only won because it was a K0 IMO. Although it was a nice job I've seen better.

That site is definitely 750 oriented although my 74' 550 got nominated for bike of the month it got beat by a really high dollar build 750. I painted my entire bike with rattle cans.

Well you mader a spanking job out of it, it looks great!

In the words of the song, "It's not a bicycle made for 2" is it? Like the seat though, looks comfy.

Thanks, I built the seat from a stock seat pan. The hinge and lock still work.
