Wanting to have the whole thing gone over and decked out. Thinking of sending it to PC, was curious if anyone has done the same? If not it's going to a local guy doing motors and suspension right near me called Bonzi engines , Kevin Ganoe doing motors (barcias old practice mechanic) and Levi Kilbarger handling the suspension. Just looking for some options/reviews. Thanks!

I know KTM factory service used to do them but they stopped. You may give them a call though and see what they say. You never know .

I'll give them a call. I want to have a two stroke ripper. It's a lot of fun to get off the 450 and on to that thing can't beat the sound

Whats Levi doing for you?
He does the suspension for Bonzi, him and Kevin I believe are co owners of it. But I been thinking of having him do my FE 450 stuff. He's got a few good places he will go and test and tweak with you as well.

Have you seen the stuff Chad Watts posts on Facebook. That is where I would be sending my stuff if I had the cash. His work looks amazing. Hit him up. I think his reputation speaks for itself !!

Right on, I used to work for Levi driving his rig. Good dude, and yes hes spoiled with amazing tracks to ride! Logan is such a small town to have such awesome tracks near it. Tell him Farva said hi and good luck to ya.

PS if you have the balls to hit the big up hill triple out their post a video of it! I love that jump but wouldnt hit it myself! I was too chicken

Will do! He's a pretty cool dude. I think his Moto track was in one of the mini warriors I believe. Him and bowers. It was so cool watching them hit those booters out there as amateurs, massive!

Give JBone Motorworks a call. He's a local guy to me. He did my 2014 250SX and it was awesome. Had him do my cylinder, head and cases. Rocketsocks had his 300 done by him too.

I don't know a ton about Kevin, but we (Race Tech) work closely with Levi on the suspension side of things. Keep in mind, with Levi doing the suspension you'll have the local guy to tune it in and build it without shipping it while still getting the resources of a larger database of settings and larger R&D budget of a big company as anything available from Race Tech is available to Levi as far as settings/data/parts.

He gets lots of compliments on KTMtalk, too...mostly for his work on two strokes. I'm sure you have many closer options, but if you have to send it somewhere, it may be worth calling him.
Josh Lyon JBone did my 15 300SX as well and it was awesome. It was exactly what I asked him for, more bottom, smoother transition into the middle and make it run up top and he hit it out of the park for me. I highly recommend him.
