KTM Flat Tracker Projects
The custom work continued in 2015, after making up my own Moto trailer I went on to complete more custom bikes.
I had the opportunity to run some events at my local Moto Park and we had the speedway to run flat track events.
This meant I needed a flat track bike so I decided to build one up.
The custom cafe racer was turned into a flat track bike. This meant building a new swingarm, adding some R6 forks, a new subframe, exhaust, radiator and seatpan along with a custom fuel tank.
The first test went well but the 250CC engine needed more power.
It was still a fun ride though, the dusty conditions and perfect track prep made it exciting.
I went ahead and fitted a 350cc engine from an SX-F and converted it to carby, it was an incredbly fun machine.
To this day it’s probably the peak of all the KTM’s I built but it wouldn’t be the last.
Get anytime access to the best Fabrication Courses, learn the staple skills of fabrication all the way through to roll cages and turbo manifolds.
Max from Akin Moto reached out to me and wanted a KTM tracker, this time a two stroke 300cc street registered machine. I picked up a stock bike locally and went to work.
It started with a custom tank, I used an old Honda CB tank and added a substantial amount of extra capacity.
I made up anew subframe and added a new expansion chamber.
A neat sheetmetal tail section and some paint later it was ready to assemble.
This was a cool build, I sent it up to Max in Queensland and the bikes still working perfectly a decade later.
All this messing around with KTM’s gave me the opportunity to help build a factory flat tracker for KTM Australia.

Building bike’s is fun but riding them and hanging out with mates is the real motivation.
