In 1972 Phil Little (Omar) left snowmobile racing and began flat track racing. That he ended in 1999. For an 8 year stretch from 1988 to 1996 he was an AMA flat track promoter in Minnesota. During this period he began making fiberglass dirt track fenders for his own race bikes and for his racing friends. He ran an ad in Cycle News and a guy named Bill Birchenal from Pleasanton, CA called and suggested Little make fenders for Yamaha 650. Little followed instructions and sales took off. Birchenal was dead right. Within two years the line expanded to include dirt track tanks.
Expressing a long term wish to own a street going dirt tracker, Little crafted the first Street Tracker conversion kit for the Yamaha 650. This was the beginning of the worldwide Street Tracker movement.
Little then began a line of cafe body parts in 1999. This cafe effort produced a Norton Manx-like conversion kit for the 650 Yamaha based on success of the Street Tracker. A brain full of new products are in Little's head for the future.
Phil Little is nothing more than a 60 year old kid still making model cars and planes. Some guys never grow up but their toys do. On the following pages are a few Omar built in the last 15 years.
