This bike had initially been bought for some off road trail riding, but after a couple years of that, our customer wanted something a bit more fun on the streets.
Watch how we turned the DRZ400 Dirt Bike into a Street Tracker. Needless to say the result was awesome. Check out the test ride at the end of the video!

@Jay-mz7dr 3 года назад

Very nice, I really like what you have done with the DR. I had stopped putting my WR450 2007 project bike back together a few months ago as I was considering if I could convert it into a street tracker and because I had already done a WR450 project full refurbish previously. I wasn't sure how to tackle the subframe, but now you have inspired me to re look at it. Did youhave

@PurposeBuiltMoto 3 года назад

Great to hear man, have fun with it!

@Jay-mz7dr 3 года назад

@@PurposeBuiltMoto The last part of my comments didn't load (dodgy internet I guess) I was asking how you lowered the bike over all. Ddi you say you used front and rear 19"wheels? and pushing the forks along way through the triple clamps + building up the mount for handle bar clearance? And to stiffen the suspension I assume stiffer springs and adjustments?

@PurposeBuiltMoto 3 года назад

Yeah mate there’s a bit in it to lower the suspension but can be done by a good guy that knows his way around it. Hit the link in the video description and read the blog it has a bunch of finer details for you

@welly706 2 года назад

Looks fun. The dash/speedo is a low point though.

@greybeard3759 3 года назад

Well done indeed. Looks like tremendous fun! Any idea what the seat height ended up at?

@PurposeBuiltMoto 3 года назад

Ah we never measured that mate so I couldn’t say.

@ericweber1969 3 года назад

This bike is really inhabiting my dreams! Here I am, 5 months later, watching the video again! A question, what machine did the radiator come from? You mentioned an ATV radiator, you wouldn't happen to know which one, do you? Thanks!

@PurposeBuiltMoto 3 года назад

I don’t have the details on the radiator sorry.

@jvogler_art4708 2 года назад

i WANT it. ive rode nothing but dirt bikes my whole life and all the street bikes i see just seem so clunky and heavy. I like a light weight low profile bike like this. Also being a 400 4 stroke that thing is gonna have some POWER! with a broad power band too!

@PurposeBuiltMoto 2 года назад

Yeah it’s a super fun bike! If you want one made hit us up!

@samteebo1994 2 года назад

@PurposeBuiltMoto 2 года назад

Thanks mate, the battery is hidden under the seat

@grahammoore9341 3 года назад

Looks great! Had planned something like this some years ago... But went and bought a Bonneville. Wish that I'd stuck with it. Is it simple to recal the stock speedo for the new wheels?

@PurposeBuiltMoto 3 года назад

Yeah it’s a fun bike for sure. If we did this build end to end I would have done a custom speedo and calibrated pickup. We didn’t mess with this speedo so it’s out, from what I tested about 10kms at 90km/h The rider told us not to worry about it

@ericweber1969 3 года назад

Graham Moore graham, I don't have a DRZ (yet!), but I've read that the speedo can be recalibrated fairly easily.

@Sharkytac 2 года назад

I’m looking to this to my DRZ over the winter. I feel like the biggest challenge will be finding the right tank, would you guys be able to point me in the direction of one that will fit? Trying to avoid too much heavy fabrication for my first custom build.

@PurposeBuiltMoto 2 года назад

The DRZ has a slim back bone so just about any tank will fit. No matter what you’re going to have to make brackets and mounts for it though

@andrewdelturc4098 3 года назад

awesome bike. im working on doing a similar build what size are the tires?

@PurposeBuiltMoto 3 года назад

These are 19" front and rear. 130 wide standard flat track tyres

@zeno1inH Год назад

Whats the price would be if it was for sale ....

@ronanrogers4127 3 года назад

Now all it needs is the stroker, big bore and wide ratio gearbox so it’s got 50+hp and sits on 120 at 5100rpm

@atomariel4849 2 года назад

I wish I knew how to squat the bike lower to the ground... I am not sure do you get a different front fork from like an r6 and a shorter spring for the rear. I just want that hypermotard look with slicks just naked and mean.

@PurposeBuiltMoto 2 года назад

There's plenty of options available to lower your bike, especially with dirt bike suspension. just have a search around

@coldee785 3 года назад

What did you use for spokes? I'm looking at doing the same thing and trying to decided on stock rim sizes, or go 19" like this build

@PurposeBuiltMoto 3 года назад

When you’re doing a custom wheel swap, find a local wheel builder and they will make the spokes to suit your application. You can’t just buy them in a kit

@coldee785 3 года назад

@@PurposeBuiltMoto I was afraid of that. Unfortunately I do not have a local option. Thanks for the response 👍

@PurposeBuiltMoto 3 года назад

Neither do we really, but you give the closest guy a call, send them your wheels and they ship them back with the new spokes and rims

@atomariel4849 2 года назад

What about a hypermotard???

@darmiejr 3 года назад

Suzuki should had made this bike. They came out with the TU250 and that's an awesome bike however, it was always a bit under powered. You had created a nice street bike with the 400 engine that should had been available a long time ago. I'd say your gearing is a bit on the low side probably a 15/16 front with a 39 on the back? Sure looks good.

@PurposeBuiltMoto 3 года назад

I think you meant to say the gearing was a little on the fun side 🙌🏼😅 thanks all he same

@aaronfrederick23 Год назад

@DickDebonaire 2 года назад

Very nice. I have a 2006 E model. The final year before they strangled the engine with California required emissions here in the US. You mentioned the suspension is stiffened up but don't tell if the shock and forks are internally modified. If not, with the fork tubes slid so far up the triple clamps couldn't the lower fork tubes or front fender bottom on the triple clamps?
