From fighter to track

It had the top triple drilled and dirt bike handle bars on it.
I had those off in a flash!
So now it is headed for track only.

Why not street fighter for both? I am currently building a streetfighter 51 project right now that I will continue to use at the track.

I like the track version better! Even the color. I have never been a fan of any Street Fighters, and I think I may be the odd one out.

Post a pic with the dirt bike bars if you have any. I am about to drill mine and want to see how yours turned out. Where did you order the risers and bar?

Did you lay the bike down after I sold the pipes to you?

I couldnt bear to have the dirt bars on it!

As a fighter it was not at all what the boy was intending.

So flat black track here we go.

Ironically, I am turning my flat black track into a street fighter. I will be starting a thread on it here soon.

Just an update.
I felt the urge Sunday.

The 05 has gloss wheels and the 03 street has matte wheels.

Well I had the 200/55 d211 Dunlops on the street bike and I decided to move things around.

Now the 03 has gloss wheels and pilot power tires,
The track bike has matte wheels and Dunlops.
I thought that I would get a lot more fun out of the d211's on the track bike.

Gloss wheels for the 03 for me........

If you are asking me, yes. when I changed the wheels I found spacers were on wrong side, I changed spacers and everything went on with arrows in correct direction.

Trackbikes often have tires flipped to get another day or two out of them....not a big deal.
