I guess that makes you Capt Hazelwood!

then that is something I would have to overcome or just sell the wheels if it didn't work. I wouldn't invest too much into it because I rather keep it for dirt.

Off road wheels are 21" front and 19" rear. SM's use 17 in rims right? So actually your front will already be 2 inches lower, you will just need to lower the rear 2 inches. Either lowering links or a shorter shock. You could adjust your sag lower but that changes your preload.

Great pics! Glad your doing well and having fun. Wish I was there!

What lean angle?

SO like I said I would post my little hello again and then leave for the track for 5 days

I'm back... sucks. I could live up there.

Racing that tard was fun and I did well on it... had some more ups and downs on the big bike... Actually I can copy/paste a race report from my local forum if anyone is interested. Hopefully will have some photos soon

nice motard

lol... worked overtime to build up and then applied it to days off. I don't get paid more for it but I can build/use it... i.e. work an extra hour a day for 8 days then take a day off, etc....

Lets see pics of the inside of the trailer.

What are the Pit Bull restraints?

Took some for you. You can also see the light and a couple of the outlets I put in. 3 bikes in there at the time I took this... rear two are my race bikes, other is my buddy's tricked out drz street/trackday toy.

The main thing I have left to do to the trailer is use some of the airspace... I want to put in a tire rack up on the wall... some hooks on the wall for wheels and stands... and build a bench and a couple cabinets into the front of the trailer. All in time...

I really like them... not only does it save you from using straps, and save the stress on the suspension of compressing it all down... but also it's just so damn easy especially after a long day of racing... Literally you roll the bike into the trailer and hear the click... you let go and walk away. PB restraint FTW!!!!

Hows the garage?

THe garage is great... pretty much in the same state as before. Dicking around with garages and trailers and stuff can wait until the offseason at this point too much to do with the bikes and everything

Good to see things are still the same around here

All I need is wheels to fit good tires and spacers really, I could probably find those used cheap. I wouldn't bother changing the suspension.

True, but if he really wanted a true SM he wouldn't do it to that particular bike hahah...

But for a td fun time it would be fun... just pick up some cheap wheels and spacers like he said.

To build a real one though... def mad $$... hence why I bought mine already built. Hell, if you add the wheels, the brake setup, the clutch, and the triple clamps, that's pretty much what I paid for the bike right there
