Wang bang thank you mam..
Todays mission, loose weight, the Honda FMF Belladonna tracker project is going apart and we want it to be as light as possible. With some consultancy from long-track word champion Joonas Kylmäkorpi we agreed to loose the back shock linkage and connect the shock direct from the frame into the swing-arm and save 4 kilos. Joonas that raced in Netherlands the other week got the opportunity to see his first flat track race, he gave us several great ideas about the setup.
After a few hours of fighting the shock and the air filter box was out, we have got a new flat track seat from Japan and a short Yamaha TW tank that matches the design of the seat (You want to move forward towards the handlebar wile cornering on the small tracks i Sweden). We are going to replace the heavy air filter box with a light K&N filter, and check the jetting. We lowered the bike to a hight which we felt was cool (we got some tips from the trackers in Italy) Next step is to find the right suspension and the right tires, we also need a 18 inc rim for the front wheel (no we are not going for normal 19 inc front/rear since it going to be to expensive), but more on that in the next post.
