I like the more low key graphics black? You stick with a 49 tooth to ? I guess your tracks are faster more flowing?
I went to a 50 tooth sprocket.

Why not go black number plates and fender? Are you waiting to do it or are you keeping it like that?

Finally got a guard for my Yoshi, thankfully before it took any damage to the header pipe. Anyone with the Yoshi setup will know how far it sticks out, a bit vulnerable to rocks and footrests.

Acerbis has some plastics available. I just ordered some black plastics yesterday. And I believe red was available as well.

Correct and then the Red Cycra stadium plate.
Just picked up my backgrounds and shock spring.
I should have the Ride Engineering pull rods tomorrow.

What did that wheel setup cost you all in? That seems like a good bang for the buck setup.

DID rims off eBay: $103 front, $125 rear
Tusk hubs off eBay: $110 front, $120 rear

$458 total and all free shipping.

That's with using the existing spokes and nipples, if you need new spokes and nipples, tusk has them for $50 front or rear.

Spent the day with Michael Lindsay, GuyB and Michael Morgan at Cahuilla. ML512 rode our 17 CRF450 with a stock exhaust and then our full system. He said he'll put up his impressions by the end of next week. Thanks GuyB for the photos!

Did you make some sound measuring comparing the stock exhaust and yours? It's the first time I feel like my stock bike is noisy will riding it. I don't care about the power but more about the noise level.

IMHO the stock system is pretty quiet. My standard full system you are looking at here is louder than stock and does pass the AMA 94db test. The FIM 2 Meter Max is a harder requirement to meet. Unless you are racing AMA SX or MXGP it's not necessary. For most of our systems we offer a FIM 2 Meter Max muffler option although I don't have that option avail yet for this bike. If you have more questions or would like to talk email me don@rocketexhaust.com with your phone number and I'll I'll give you a call.

Once I added a yosh slip on my 49 tooth has been perfect. 3rd gear starts even.

I didn't add the exhaust for that purpose. Just what I noticed after.
