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.

Nice!

Stock offset.
I do like bar mount position more than the stock.
I'm 6'4" and don't feel the need for lowered pegs or brackets.
On the way to the track now I'll post something up later.
May also have a fast guy rip around on it for his feedback.

Ray you should be up here!

Your probably working Saturday but you can hit support one day only also.

As for the clamps hard to tell
It's blowing like 40mph out here today so I did 3 sessions and called it a day.
Rather not make a mistake and miss racing over the weekend.

Major final on me
Put my back spring in and did not order the fronts......

I kept those on the stock rims
next set I'll change over.
Ride clamps and pull rods go on tomorrow
When I first saw this i wonderd what pull rods were . I have disassembled my linkage since and see pro circuit
Have them out now. I have run the different ratio on many of my bikes as I prefer that feel with the rear slightly
Lower. Keen to hear your feedback.

My new girlfriend.
Pretty sure she used to be someone else's in this thread, and I agree with everything he said about this thing. Best bike I've ridden in my life.

Decided not to cut corners and get the quality TJ stuff. Plus it just looks rad.







Just got the wheels on today and they are bitchin. HAAN Wheels build quality. MSR 41hundred (iron man) sprocket, and galfer rotors... couldn't be happier!

Had a chance to Race 4 motos last weekend.
I messed up by not having the springs in front and I fought the bike a bit.
That said I would take it all day like that over my 2016 Kawi 450.
Springs are now in and I'll do a few rides before any revalve.
I bought the shorter of the two link set s up from Ride.
I am 6'4" so I didn't really want to lower the rear too much just even things out more.
Also tossed on a Honda Dampner just to see if it is needed. If not I'll toss it in the parts box for when we hit Lacr in October.
100 percent happy that I bought this bike.
18 should be some tweaks I'll be checking out the Honda 19s.
I'm sure ktm will release those in about a week since the 18s are out...

Picked me up a freshy today. Shared the first ride with my 2.5 year old son, special day. She's all broken in and I can't wait to give it a real shakedown soon. Feels great already though!

It should look like this after a 45km loop of hilly, muddy, rutted, tree rooted single track bush riding. All I did was 50 tooth rear and this thing rides awesome in non mx technical stuff. Feels like I'm riding a light 250 2 stroke but with amazing traction.
