Have it on my 2017 kx450. Get that and the valving done and you are set, way better front end felling and you dont have to mess with all the air combinations all the time.

Tech question. There have been some reviews posted as well, in the Product Reviews Section.

Ha, I thought I was posting in there, sorry.

I was having trouble finding any reviews, but I searched a little different and found some now. Thanks.

I should have posted links, my bad. Glad you found the info. Good luck. From what I've read it's a good conversion if you can't get the air forks to work for you.

If you can do a basic service on your forks, is it a direct bolt in that someone could do on their own or do you need to send it off to them for any machine work?

It was selected as 2016 Product of the Year from Dirt Rider and in their long term test of their KX450f was mentioned as the best mod they did. As our techs say, "It's a 5 minute drop in."

Anything for the CRF yet? 2013. Still don't like the air forks.

Have it on my 2016 kx450. Absolutely love it. Way better feel in the front end, and it actually feels planted. Also, you can actually feel changes when adjusting the clickers on the left fork.

Unfortunately, no. We have a couple of pre-production kits out; however, a final product has not been completed. Our suspension department is slammed wall to wall right now not allowing us to finalize the full R&D process, and we don't want to put something out that we can't 100% guarantee. Customer suspension and base development on new models has to come first.

The MotoConcepts team is running 2014 production CRF250R forks on their 450 SX bikes, so if you can get your hands on those you'd be set (along with re-spring/re-valve to compensate for the bike weight).
