Welp...time for another build. Sold my 2017 FC450 and recently purchased a used (40 hours on it) 2019.5 Rockstar Edition FC450. I'm not committing myself to a full blown build thread but I'll try to post here and there with a few pics. If you happen to remember the Honda CR 250r I built several years back...I'm convinced this thing is going to rival that one once it's done.

Stay tuned....

I hope you don't use the same engine builder on this bike that you did on the Honda CR250R...

What's your source for the Ti bolts? I'm using the DRC aluminum colored Ti for my engine and really dig their products so far.

Moto120 doesn’t mess around, I bet those are Racetech titanium bolts.

Getting closer. I think this thing is going to turn out pretty cool, I hope to hire a professional photographer to shoot some legit photos of it before it gets dirty haha

Incredible build!
I hope CRM makes a FX tank soon because I want one.
Does your FC have magura or Brembo brakes?
So is it an after market swing arm? Very curious

Sorry guys.

Frame guards are from Legacy Carbon out of Canada.

The swingarm - stock that was polished to a mirror finish (literally) then Type3 hard anodized.

So I was literally about to buy from Legacy Carbon... then I looked them up, how long did it take to get the frame guards? They seem to be a thief on the interweebs
