im sure that you guys are familiar with cafe racer motorcycles if you like board track racers.
i recently bought a 26" cruiser that im gonna build into a board tracker, but as an avid cafe racer rider and enthusiast, i got to thinking and made a mock up in photoshop of what one could look like. i might make something like this too for fun.

Wow!! That bottom pic, of the Puch-turned-cafe-racer, is freaking amazing!!
I haven't clicked on your build links yet, but I'm about to... I just had to get that out...
Great work!

Well, in thinking on just using bike parts, I would think you would want to use something like a new Stingray fork to get that motorcycle fork look or something with suspension. Clubman handlebars are a must. For the tank and seat you got a good idea going. The only other touches that would really make it a cafe would be the two rear shocks and smaller diameter rims (which would mean shorter pedal cranks) to really get that motorcycle look. Might ever get by with 24" rims but 26"s just scream boardtrack to me.
