On a 07 Yamaha YZ450F what would be the best ice/motard suspension set up. This bike will not be used for motocross. He is looking for like a professional type set up and not afraid to spend the extra cash. Also I saw on here a while ago after market body work for the same bike that would turn it into a road race type bike. Thanks for the help and replies

Check out dieseljo's site. There's bunch of resources listed and a forum there where you can ask Qs.

Good luck!

Do or do not, there is no "try".

I think motard and ice are a little different.  Seems like an ice/flat track set up is lowered a good amount.  I'm not sure if there is an inexpensive way to do that.  Does make it a lot easier to control sliding around.  I might be able to point you toward someone, Tom.

Lowering the bike is what he wants to do, This is a tricked out show quality bike. He currently has it on display at "Ride". Ohlins forks and shock would be way to go with this set up or would there be a better way to go? Not a cheaper way but looking for the best possible set up.
