Faster USA did this color on the Husky hubs I'm running if you want to have a look when you stop by.

Ordered a set of FasterUSA wheels! Colin was awesome to talk to, and heard nothing but great things about them at FasterUSA!

Went with blue wheels, burnt mag hubs and Colin is upgraded spokes at no charge.

With that in mind, will probably be selling my stock blue wheels if anyone is interested. They have about 10hrs total on them.

Motostuff 280mm rotor came in along with their front and rear pads! Wrong bracket came though, so waiting on correct bracket and new wheels. Scott was awesome to work with!

Brakes should work real well with 08 crf450 set up, steel line and 280mm solid rotor!

Picked up wheels today at FasterUSA! Look great!

Billy @Luxon MX is the man! He modified my caliper carrier for the 25mm.

Blown head gasket that caused a scored cylinder or just a scored cylinder & the water was from dissembling ? Either way that stinks & sorry to hear about that. Hopefully they can get you back up & running quickly.
How many hours were on it when it happened?

Tom thinks it's just a cracked head, causing the head gasket to leak. No damage top end itself, was running find just the water was in a sense, putting out the spark.

8.8hrs on meter

Cylinder and piston look brand new still. Cylinder only has few hours as 315, but 8.8 total since piston is the same as 295.

By the way, thought you guys might like this pic while I have the head off.

Graphics are changing temporarily for rhythm. Going to find a spot for TMR and luxon though for helping with the build!

Dang, I should have sent you my A kit suspension for tevin to ride and be set up with Enzo while it was there. That would have been a win win. Little late now lol

Tevins dad owns a suspension shop 3t performance, so he's running his sx suspension. So mine isn't even on now. Enzo was way too soft for him anyways.

Knocked out first round by Roczen, but not complaining. Not many have a build thread on vital and get to see their creation go head to head with one of the fastest SX riders.
Had a freaking blast!
