I figured as my first post as a new member on here I would put up my 2018 CRF450R I just built and still in progress. It’s been super fun turning this bike out! First picture is the only one I have stock that I took. I did put on the Ti FMF full exhaust 4.1 here. Some good...

if you follow the clutch switch wire all the way down behind the left radiator shroud, you will see two connectors, one which connects to the switch wire and the other to the bike. if you simply disconnect both from the clutch switch wire and the bike, and then take the two ends and simply connect them together it will...

Yea I do, but it has its ups and its downs....i ride a mixture of track and trails. On the trails its great. On the track, i find myself wanting to have a standard style clutch. the major downside is, this clutch needs to be adjusted every couple rides or it starts making weird noises when you take off without...

I paid around 6k-ish for everything including diff springs, valving set up, shipping etc. they did set them up to my riding style and weight. Pretty darn spot in from FC. I adjusted 1-2 clicks just to dial exactly how I wanted and this set up is amazing. Feels plush, soaks everything up, no harsh feeling in any of the...

Thanks! Sanford is right down the street from me. You ever ride at pax trax in Bunnell? I try and go at least once every weekend. Always looking for people to ride with!

She is finally sitting pretty! I will say putting in a rear shock on this bike was a royal pain in the ass. Required disassembly of the entire subframe, exhaust, air box intake, fender, battery box, etc. I also did not realize that after I put the top shock bolt through and hand tightened the nut...a socket would not fit...

WP cone valves installed! Sorry for the crap picture. It’s dark and my garage is a F’n disaster lol. First impressions...they look amazing. Definitely finishes off the look I envisioned. Just laying some force on the forks I can tell a huge improvement over stock from the get go. These are smooth as butter. Shock going in tomorrow night as...

Hey guys, been MIA for a couple days...work is slammed and Been trying to deal with purchasing a toy hauler RV. Anyway, I got the WP suspension as I heard really good things about their kit set up. I like the looks also. The spring rates in the stock shock and forks are fine. Im just not too crazy how...

Raptor Ti pegs, works connection radiator braces and hammerhead designs foot controls finally installed. Went with the oversized brake pedal tip and upgraded to the pro spring return kit as well. Shift lever went with a +10mm. Foot controls are a lot more comfortable and adjustability is much better than stock. Hammerhead’s stuff is top notch CNC work. The works...

Workshop out of New Zealand are top notch...I have never ordered over seas for my bike before and these guys turned them around super quick. Friendly staff and go out of their way for the customer. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a nice set of custom graphics. The template they used for the 2018 is perfect fit

I’ll check out the other fuels you mentioned and see if I can find some locally. Everywhere I found online, hazmat fees are $100+ and go up from there as gallon quantity increases. There is a sunoco about 15 miles from my house that sells 100 octane race fuel. Not sure how good quality it is though considering its out...

I am waiting on a few more parts to come in. Hammerhead brake pedal and shift lever and raptor Ti pegs. USPS has my parts on detour the last week. From CA, to NJ, to AL etc. It is a long story lol. Once they come in, I will throw them on and detail the entire bike and take a...

Thanks! I am using pump 93 octane in the bike at the moment. I haven’t been able to find quality race fuel locally where I am at in Florida. If I could get my hands on some VP U4.4 I am sure the power would be much stronger. The Vortex has 5 maps tuned for race fuel but I haven’t...

One of the many issues I had with the old graphics. Did not turn out as requested and the fitment of the graphics was terrible. Tried to resolve the issues with them but never heard back after I asked for the final prints of the proofs I originally approved. Regardless they did not look like what I envisioned originally so...
