Kind of an odd question, but here goes:
So after a few hip and knee injuries I find it hard to open my legs. To the point I can't even sit on a quad (at the farm, just to be clear) without going sidesaddle.
I noticed at the track the other day that it's really hindering me getting over the front in corners as the bike is too wide for me to slide up. I currently have a 2015 Husky TC250 which is my track bike. I also have my old bike, 2006 YZ250 which I've been doing up as an off road runner. I don't have as much trouble on the YZ, as it seems the rad shrouds are much thinner.
So my question is, who makes the thinnest 250 2T now? If anyone has tried them, I'm open to weird stuff like TM to.
Thanks!

Swann, we have the big 6 in available around here but not so much the smaller brands. I'm going to start doing some digging and see ifbtheres a way to make the husky shrouds narrower. Thinking maybe someone makes am aftermarket plastic kit
Trials is scary for me.........I'll take moto and triples any day to climbing a tree with a motorcycle......The pro's are amazing........
forget about how it looks or how the shrouds fit or anything like that. just use it to experiment. you never know, you might get on the thinnest bike out there (RM 250 seems to be the consensus) and it may not even help anything. At least this might give you a better idea of where to go from there.
if squishing the tank (not just squishing, but contouring it where your legs will go) offers some improvement, then I would look into a more permanet set-up, that still looks ok. I'm positive someone could modify your tank/shrouds in a way that doesn't look ghetto or jerry rigged. The TC has a single backbone, so its might work for it as well. The shrouds go all the way back to the seat, but I think it might be doable.
custom aluminum tank is another option...considerably more expensive and time consuming though.
