That is bad ass! I spent most of my time building a KX 250F after I crashed. On my KTM I have Pro Circuit graphics and linkage arm and John Mitchell revalved suspension. I have just about every pipe made for that bike and tried every pipe silencer combo. I personally like the FMF Factory Fatty the best with the shorty silencer but one of my friends liked the DEP with the P.C. Silencer or FMF shorty silencer and another buddy of mine liked the P.C. Combo the best. In all honesty I will run the Pro Circuit setup because they are helping me out a little bit this year and it still improves the bike. I have to order the stock pipe and silencer because the bike came new with an FMF Gnarly, Shorty silencer, and FMF jet kit. I want to race a few amateur nationals and use this as my stock bike for 250 and 450 stock. Then when I am done the carb goes to Dick's and I will get triple clamps and most likely get the A-kit suspension and all the bling. I don't plan on selling this bike for a long time.

Look at dicksracing.com

It is supposed to really help the top end without losing any of the bottom end.

The OP's bike looks great. Some of the others though, while trick, are over the top fugly. How much orange shit can you cram on a KTM contest?

I have to agree, to mutch orange is no good at all.
Rather have it black with orange accents. But hey, to eatch their own i guess.

What's your opinion on these after using them?

I have a 2013 300 XC and was looking for feedback on these. I am also considering the Xtrig with PDHS as well as RG3's version.

Thanks.

Go for it!
One of the best things I bought for the bike.
They are reducing vibrations and they have a little flex in them whitch translates into less fatigue Smile
The XTRIG and SXS barclamps is pretty much the same so just the barclamps will do it.

My new 13 250SX & after seeing all these pics I'm definitely stripping the bike down as soon as it starts snowing here & powdercoating the frame orange & maybe even flo/dayglo orange.

The PHDS clamps are definitely an investment worth it's money, they even reduced my arm pump.

Probably the best looking 250 I've seen this year, just sent my graphics guy a pic of it for design inspiration for next year. I really like the clean look of it

You have to see my graphics up close & in the sunlight. There are orangy/chrome-ish Fox heads of all shapes ghosted into my graphics everywhere & they look wicked cool. It was TSS Graphics 1st try at doing something like this & I feel that they came out awesome. I can get you graphics just like mine if your guy doesn't think he can do it. Feel free to call me 508 243 1232 Mike

Thank you very much & I appreciate your kind words :-) I have so much help when doing these projects & the guys are very creative when it comes to this stuff. We bounce things back & forth & I think the end result is much better because of it.

I love KTM's and your bike looks great. What I am trying to understand - because I don't have your bank account; you threw a lot of parts at it. Flywheel weight, rekluse, steering stabilizer lowering link, exhaust etc.

WHY? Because you could? If that's the answer then awesome. Why run a rekluse and then run an expensive clutch lever? If you stuff it and break the lever off in a race it's no big deal. You can still shift without it.

Then there's the flywheel weight? Why not get a 450? More tractable and usable horsepower and no need to mix gas. Sure it sounds better, but you have taken the bite out of the bike.

If you got the cash, its great. Just seems to me you built an awesome factory like bike but took the teeth out of the monster.

It looks awesome.

I can assure you that every mod had a thought behind it.
Do you know how the newest recluse core exp works?
Its basicly a anti-stall clutch and I have always ridden the bike with the clutch as usual but I have never stalled it... Win win!
The flywheelweight was installed under winter conditions because I had been riding 4-strokes for some time before I got the 2-stroke.
I liked it so much so I kept it in the bike.
No mod took the fun out of the bike but it was some serious help in the end of 30-minutes motos and trainingsessions.
We tested every mod back to back with my buddys stock bike and mine was faster, better handling and easier to ride.
