Hi everyone. Just bought this 77 flat tracker but i think it is mainly stock. (I know very little about flat tracking as i come roadracing background and flat track here was a very small scene). Can you tell me what brand of fiberglass this kit is?. What flat track mods do you see in the pics.( i think its all stock but you will tell me) and can i have some fun as is or do i realy need to do some basic mods. Thanks

That looks like it could be a real serious flat tracker.

Good looking bike. Welcome to the forum!!
Its hard to tell from the photos but it looks to me like a basically stock frame.
The body looks to be a one piece unit, the only make of those I know of is Tracy (not even sure if that's the correct spelling).
Tracy bodies are sought after.
I know nothing about flat track racing but get out and ride it, then work out if it needs changing.

Looks like 74-79 standard frame.
PWK carbs?
Unusual plug wire routing indicates a possible aftermarket ignition.
Hard to see, but looks like the camchain adjuster cover is missing...
If you take the plugs out you should be able to shine a light down the plug hole look for a flat ridge around the piston , this will show if it's got over sized pistons in,
Looks like a totally standard frame still has the rear footrest loops and plates for the center stand, difficult to see if the lug for the side stand is still there.
Tracy used to make one piece body's, if is Tracy or fiberglass works as they later became known there will be a red star with the name written across it normally under the tank cap on the top of the tunnel or if you turn it upside down either under the seat or under the rear cowl/ mudguard
