Just thought i wanted to share my sweet 2011 KTM SX 250 with the world, and keep posting about the updates done to it.
Here is a list of things done to it:
SXS triple clamps
Öhlins TTX Shock in the rear
PHDS Bar clamps
Renthal Twinwalls
Complete HGS Racing exhaust
Lots of engine work done to it, complete porting of cylinder and carb.
2013 bodywork

Lots of things and more pimping planned for the next months (Winther is coming and I have to keep my mood up)

The 2013 plastics really makes a huuuge difference. Great bike!

How easy/hard was it to mount the new plastic? Did you replace the fuel tank?

Like the 13 look with the no link suspension. Five pounds I almost wished they hadn't added back to the bikes. The PDS was working good there at the end.

May I suggest the fork guards that don't wrap all the way around the fork. Those stockers don't do the bikes justice.

To me the PDS system is definitely the best suspension system ever, and by adding the Öhlins shock it became even better. I just can't get used to the feel of the linkage suspension, the only bike I've had since 85s without PDS was a 2008 250 Kawasaki, and that didn't last long.

Thanks. Yours looks great. I will update to the 2013 plastics as well. Did you just drill 2 more holes in the bottom of the front fender to mount it?

I also cut some chunks away, where the fender is supposed to be mounted on the front of the new triple clamps
