2 stroke street tracker build

Hey everyone,
I hope some of you might be interested in my TS185 street tracker. I know its not a mx bike, but it does have a lot of moto parts on it and I wanted it to have a moto influence rather than the usual cafe racer style.

Ive listed all the info on the build below, but there are also full build pics on my instagram - @speaksy_
and a cool feature and article on BikeEXIF detailing the build - https://www.bikeexif.com/custom-suzuki-ts185
