Another small update. Things are just VERY busy around here with trying get my small cycling company off the ground and running...trying to build it into my full-time job hopefully soon :-)
Replaced the 2 large steel motor mount bolts with Ti (needless to say, Ti isn't the best investment...but damn it's cool haha)
Also replaced the upper and lower shock mounting bolts
Yoshi head and pipe installed...this thing is AWESOME!!!
Front brake setup coming together. I hate the stock routing of the Husqvarna throttle cables (on the rider side of the handlebars)...replaced throttle tube, throttle tube housing, and cables with a mix match of Kawasaki parts. Cables are now "correctly" (haha) routed in front of the handlebars. That ARC lever is on point!!!! Don't mind the lever pivot bolt...just haven't replaced it yet
Wanted a cool stem cap bolt and noticed they didn't machine out internally nearly as much as the stock silver bolt...will take care of this at work shortly :-). I'll post an updated pic of this once complete.
What is the company that you are starting Moto120?

It's called SLF Motion...you may have seen a few of the Pro moto guys post some stuff about SLF on their social media accounts. Just trying to build it up into a full-time for myself (and hopefully many other employees eventually too haha) and have fun doing it.
The bike is ridiculous... very nice work! You helped inspire a lot on my Husky build.
By chance did you weigh the stock fork guards vs. the light speed CF ones? I told my wife I am done with my build but after seeing those I have to have!!! Also can you remove the Lightspeed sticker from the fork guards? Would love to have a cleaner look.
I like you got the orange removed from the number plate! Do you have a model number to replace the orange with white? Any pics of the front of the bike? The gap from the number plate and front fender looks a little big?

I did not weight them but could probably pull one off, I'll have to dig around in the back shed to see if I kept the stock ones or not. Yes, the Lightspeed logo is just a sticker and can easily be peeled off. For the # plate, it's kind of hard to explain but I ended up buying a black front plate too so I could use a piece of of it. The "brake lever side" orange piece I actually had to paint because it is melted onto there...it is not removeable. The "clutch lever side" orange piece was attached by 3 small screws and the black # plate comes with this piece in black...SO, I bought a black # plate and swapped out just that little black part. Not sure what you're referring to about the gap, if you blow up the picture you can see there is some black bracing on top of the fender that the 3 plate sits down on...so there really isn't any gap at all.
Saw these from phil denton engineering over here.......not sure how good they are? but phil is respected and knows what he's talking about so i thought i'd post it here.

I talked to Phil about the knuckle and he wrote, "This knuckle applies a revised lever ratio to the shock and, when used with a revised (heavier) spring rate, it will give a much improved feel and stability to the handling.
The price is £135.00 + shipping (£18.50 if, as I suspect, you're in the USA). We can, also, supply the linkage bearing kit at £54.56 and fit the bearings to the knuckle for you, so that it's ready to fit to your bike."
It's a pretty big investment for that part and a stiffer spring. I wonder what feeling it gives.
This is the sort of bike I come to the bike build forum for, good job man, looks mint.
How do you rate the guts seat cover, did you get the ballistic nylon?
Have fun shredding that thing
Well...it's done :-) I will post some more info later on but wanted to get the pics posted!

How'd you take care of the orange on the front plate. I'm considering doing this to my 14 Husky. I don't like the front fender and # plate and would like to update it to either the newer KTM or Husky style. I'm also wondering if the Cycra Stadium plate for the Husky would fit on a KTM front fender. I think that fender matches up better with the 2014 Husky plastic better than the rounder shape of the Husky.
That bike is so bitchin'! I love how the plastic and graphics flow.
Bike is beautiful and mean look'n as H#ll !! Got a few question's, where can I get the silver fuel cap ? (hopefully it will fit a 18 KTM) and out of curiosity, is the fuel tank opening offset like the KTM's or centered (like normal) lol. Thanks.

Great looking bike, I'd be curious how much it weighs, especially in relation to the showroom weight.
Such an incredible bike!

Pit Row
I recommend 140psi, 15 out on the rebound, and 20 out on the compression. That was perfect setup for me.

The subtle graphics do it for me.
The Matrix Husky stand is a underrated component to the clean look.
Im surprised you didnt go with the full carbon Yosh. As a carbon slut myself, I nearly went that direction.
