Yep it's the same as the 16-18 the one we went with is pro circuit but boyeson makes one as well.
Thanks that's what I thought. Just order me the PC one ??
Very nice should look good with your pro circuit oil filter cap!

Impressive build. Such an awesome bike you got there.
Thank you all the bikes my dad wrenches on turn to pure excellence. I'm just glad I can learn from him. Even at 27 years old this last year working along side of him has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Thanks I agree! I wanted to do the whole PC engine plug kit as well, but where I get help from WC I just couldn't see spending all the extra cash for literally the same thing just with a different logo haha

Thanks man! I haven't had a chance to ride with it. I can tell you it sounds real mean! When I send my suspension in I'm going to send the ecu in to be tuned for the exhaust. After riding both my dads bike(ktm) and brothers bike(honda) before and after a tune with the exhaust I can honestly say there is a huge difference and well worth the price to have it tuned!

Looks Stellar! Even better is the family aspect!

My little guy (6) has NO interest in bikes yet, and while I am not pushing whatsoever, I do hope we can find a hobby that bonds us as well as what builds like this suggest! Good work!

Here are a few more pictures of the bikes cleaned up. My dad spent about 46 hours the last few days making these things pristine. Totally eclipses the 10 hours I put in. Lol My brother rides the 18 Honda and my dad rides the 16.5 KTM with cone valves.

When changing the water pump, did you have difficulty in removing the stock impeller?

The impeller will keep spinning as you try to loosen it. We very carefully used a flat head to hold the impeller and gave it a quick turn to get it to loosen up.

Mine is beyond tight for some reason. I may end up leaving the stock one on.

Hey man you need an extra set of hands. Trick is to have someone hold the impeller while you use quick impact to loosen the bolt. Hope that helps.

Haha we were both doing it the hard way. So I asked my dad to help me with it... he slaps it in first and takes it right off. Face palm moment for sure

We had ours in gear as well I figured you knew that. Lol the impeller still spins in gear there is just more resistance. Ha ha either way glad you got it.

Haha guess I'm just the dumb one then! But yeah i guess I had it lose or something in regard to why it didn't spin at all in gear. It makes sense it still would obviously though
