I think it would be perfect something in between the current shade and the flo.
You know, I think that guy I spoke to on the phone actually said something about that now that you mention it. I just remember being surprised that the team wasn’t using the Flo orange. Their bikes look very bright

True. This is the normal orange (not flo) Acerbis plastic kit, looks slightly different on different pictures.

It’s a little blase / not done to show up like Factory KTM TLD & Co at your local track ( over here ) everyone wants to stand out in a positive way with their own style / look... same with gear sets as well...

Must me not so hard for your local mx graphics printer to come up with something inspired on.

I agree on that..
But in Spain the menatlity is a bit different, Replicas are loved Tongue
I live in southern Spain and on my local tracks you see plenty of replicas, and lots of crazy other graphics.
Guess its hanging after all those years with Repsol replicas from motoGP and similar.

I would never put a logo on my bike that I dont have a connection to.. but thats just my opinion..

RedBull is fighting a uphill battle with their strict logo protection policy, especially on Athletes wear, that you can get on aliexpress for dirt cheap.. Gone are the days where a RedBull cap meant that you are a RedBull athlete.. I have been working with RedBull for some years and the frustration and daily battle to keep that logo holy is just a PITA for the people involved.

To the OP.. im sure you can get full on replica graphics printed in Spain.. The established printing houses in the US will never do it due to fear of being taken to court, losing goodwill etc.. so if you really really want it you can find a way..

Awesome. I’m probably going to get on for my kx125 ‘18 conversion, but didn’t think it looked very comfortable Lol

There are 2 different versions. Soft and hard. I have always used the Soft because the hard incredibly hard. The soft is still pretty firm when it's new but it gets softer after hours of riding.

But i would be open to trying the hard version and see if it gets a bit softer after a few hours of riding! I'm a huge fan of firm seats. Soft seats are horrible for cornering in my opinion since you move around on the bike way more compared to a hard seat.

Unfortunately Acerbis didn't have an Xseat for the latest YZF 450/250 so i had to get the Guts firm seat foam and a seat cover. Once i wear out that i'll get the Xseat for my Yamaha.

And btw, a brand new Xseat is the seat solution with the most grip that i have ever tried. No gripper seat cover have been able to match the Xseat in that department.
