Motorsport says the rod needs to be drop shipped and hot rods says they aren't available. So again, Rods are not available. You can try to convince yourself they are out there but they aren't.
Hot rods shows it on backorder. Take a look.
Parts Search (allballsracinggroup.com)
another valid point!
Fine, get it on eBay. Also, just because it’s on back order doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Can't wait to see Yellow on the podium again.

Hold your horses. Roczen was barely able to put red on the podium last year.
2022 SX: one podium (in opener). Finished 4 positions behind the top Suzuki in overall points.
You are comparing the red bike to the yellow bike? There's no comparison. The yellow bike is the fastest on the planet. It's the only bike to have ever lapped the field. The things are f*king fast. Kenny will have his hands full with all that yellow power.
What has the red bike ever done other than pogo Kenny over the bars?
Haha. BDB ain’t lyin. Facts are facts.
Except the fastest-on-the-planet thing.
I interviewed Dustin Pipes earlier this week, for some insight on how this deal happened. There are a few answers in here!
I mainly wanted to know why they were not more aggressive to get him on the bike sooner. Weird they were last up...
Vital MX. How did H.E.P sign Ken Roczen? | Dustin Pipes Interview
Great interview Lewis!!
Lots of people going to be loosing their minds when he runs up front, or for heavens sake wins a race!
Pretty cool perspective. Kenny has enough experience (and money) to not need the corporate structure and strict schedules etc. Plus more freedom on bike setup to find what he likes. Sounds like it will be a cool deal.
It’s my view that how the team works together is just as important as the bike and the rider. If one of these 3 is really off, than being brilliant in the other 2 is still not enough. e.g brilliant rider and brilliant bike (base) and team that can’t work is a problem.
The point is the team influence is bigger IMO than is often talked about. I would suggest Tomac this year is an example.
Some ups lots of down. The only race that he could win is A1 but very unlikely in my opinion. You can't just handle that Dinosaure 17 SX races straight trouble free. No way even if you are called Ken Roczen.
Kenny has always been fast, but always been mental...even with his intense injuries that have to have left some "mark" on him psychologically as well as physically. He always seems like a guy who likes to keep things chill, and have some serous play time away from the grind, plus from his interviews you can tell that he seriously loves being a Dad and husband...loves his family. I think the freedom the HEP team structure will allow him to have, and with their (and Suzuki's) commitment to put 100% into things, this might be the environment that KR needs in this stage of his career to motivate him to get some wins, and actually be a title contender...for the whole season.
Oh yes, the race bike from a top pro is going to be such a dinosaur with all it's titanium and aluminum parts and factory suspension and other goodies... Not to mention that it's a bike known for holeshots.
Looking good. Those shroud graphics are an improvement, as is the black seat cover. That number font reminds me of Mad Skills lol
Pit Row
I wish he went with the RCH font for his numbers. Big, bold and smooth lines, not jagged corners.
numbers look like the "last second electrical tape special" i ran as a kid
Odd question that has no real relevancy, is Ken still a German Citizen? He doesn’t have dual citizenship right?
Something-else that Sleet-Dog covered on the Gypsy podcast…
KR is alllll about feel. That’s something that a lot of us seem to “under-value”. He, Kenny, has already stated in interviews that he’s really stoked on the feel of the yellow bike & has really been benefiting from having Chisholm as a team-mate and set-up/test guy. He’s surrounded by a team a that’s “all about Kenny” (as far as WINNING ON the Suzuki 450 is concerned) and he seems to like that, too.
Combination of yellow bike and yellow wheels is pretty hard to screw up, but they appear to be trying their best to do just that. The HEP bikes looked great when 180 was handling the aesthetics.
Regardless of your preference of seat color or font type, we all know what color that background will be:
I think his bike would look better with a blue or yellow seat cover IMO.
That's a clean look and very possible after this Saturday night.
Bike looks good, but I hope they take a little slack out of that chain before Saturday!
Damn…I’m gonna have to build…
”Another one!”
Suzuki always has some of the best looking bikes out there.
Even the production bike, with it's "moles" is the best looking bike... The lines on the new Yamaha are it's only competition.
Post a reply to: Rozen to HEP Suzuki. It's official.
