    Hi, the plan is to get my bike as cheap as possible to be a flat tracker. Bought it 2004. Due to the fact that it is a smr 450, the bike is already alot lower than the tc etc. I hope you guys can give me some ideas to lower it abit further + suspension settings would be a blast too. greetings from germany Armin

    Well I only have limited knowledge of flat track racing, a buddy of mine was into it a bit and I wanted to give it a try but never did. Get some 19" rims laced up, lose the front brake. Buy an assortment of different sprockets and figure out what gearing is going to work for the tracks you're going to ride.

    Keep us updated that thing is going to be cool!

    lower the forks internily, you only need about 6 inches of suspension on a FT bike both front and rear. find a suspension expert, it will b money well spent.

    you won't need 1st gear , so starting in second is highly recommended. depending on the track size, 2nd and 3rd will probably b the only gears you will use.

    all ours are close ratio 5 speeds-suspension lowered about 4",not sure about od of wheel differences
    heavy flywheels are a plus
