...Here are the foot controls. The shifter and brake pedals are off the factory forward controls. I also cut off the pivots and welded them to the backside of the plate...

I like your foot peg set up. I was planning on going a bit more froward with mine with some Yamaha XS pegs and brake pedal I picked up but the simplicity of your setup look appealing. Were you able to use the stock shift linkage?

I wanted to go further forward but I dislike things hanging under the frame rails. I was going to copy the peg setup from an RD350/400 that goes under the frame across to either side...

The linkage was cut and lengthened 1/4 to 1/2".

Thanks. I have set of XS400 pegs I plan on using.

I'm keeping the low pipe so I can't go under the frame anyway. I'll hang them off a bracket like you used. That will get the pegs forward but my linkages and levers will likely be a bit more complicated. Your setup looks almost fool proof.

Your build is very nice. You pulled it together perfectly without much "fabrication fuss". Simple and elegant in a way. Odd choice of words for a tracker project but it's really well put together.

They look pretty roomy underneath. Enough room to keep the stock decompression solenoid and coil? I was looking at a few on eBay but I wondered if the tunnel was too shallow but your's sits down perfectly.
