Re: [ST] Sprint RS Conversion

I would suggest that if you want to go that far in setting up a bike up for the track, then a second dedicated machine is the way to go. If you try to set up a bike for both it will end up being a compromise or you will spend hours changing the fairings, tyres, set up etc each time you go from track to street and back. Theres also the consideration that you could bin your street ride at the track and be bikeless...

Subject: [ST] Sprint RS Conversion


I had a thought (smell the smoke? ;-)

What would it take to setup a SPRINT RS  for the track?  I know the stock 
suspension sucks so I'll at least need to rebuild the front forks.  I think I 
can get away with leaving the rear shock alone, however it's got 25000 miles on 
it.

How about rear sets?  Are there different foot pegs to add?

How about body work?  I haven't seen anything that says it can be mounted to a 
Triumph let alone an RS.  Anything to replace the front fairing with that 
doesn't have headlights?

Final question, should I even bother or just save up for a separate bike setup 
for track only?  I figure if I have to drop $3000 into the RS I could buy a used 
SV650 ready to go already and not have to worry about trashing my street ride.
