That's a Tracy body, as to what it's worth there seems to be a big range of opinions when it comes to these. What is the owner asking and how bad do you want it?

They seem to pop up on a fairly regular basis, most times the seller believes they are made of gold. I would put them into the "only if you find it local or at a swapmeet category" due to the fact that the shipping will be a killer. I guess if you look at what a complete stock set of body parts will run you it isn't too bad of a deal.

What is it suppose to fit. That piece looks like one of the later ones.
I bought a very early Tracy at Mid-Ohio for $25.00 and resold it the next year for $200.00 or $250.00. A very nice one will sell as high as $750.00.
There is a lot of weight savings using a Tracy.
They became very popular on the dirt track but were outlawed because of thier aerodynamic advantage.

It could be a investment. I would buy it if it were near me.Now i know what the hole is for on the seat pan.Mix oil. Roy

The one on my bike is for a 900 and it doesn't fit the 1000 very well. It sits too far back.
The early one were made to fit several bikes. One i had would fit a triumph or 450 honda.
I paid $125.00 for the one on the bike. The week before i lost a auction on eBay and i bid $600.00 for a very nice one. Roy
