I consider myself a fast b mid a rider.
I have about 4 hrs on my 22 Kx450x right now and I will say overall am very impressed.
I want to go with fcp mounts to ease the sharp roots /square edge jar a little.
It really doesn’t need it but they look great and if it can be a little better why not.
Do I need both the uppers and lowers or just one half of the equation ok or better?
Let’s not start a WCL pissing match there’s plenty of that already.
Purely about the FCP parts.
Pic just because my rig makes me happy.

Carbon or fiberglass?
I got some epoxy and newspaper clippings I could use too!

Based on what they did for my ‘21 crf450, I’d just stick with getting the tops and running the oem lowers.

BUT, the CRF set comes with titanium lowers where as I believe the kxf FCP lowers are aluminum.

I think that’s what I’ve heard.
I know when you buy they come together.
I wanted to chuck the factory ones in the Cnc and whittle away some material to see if I could fee a difference before I dropped the big coin on some metal tabs. 😂

I had a KX450x and am now on a 250x. The best thing I found to get that sharp jolt out was the Mako360.

Go to the replacement parts section of FCPs site. They only offer set but you can buy just the tops in that section.

What is FCP? Never heard of it. I googled it and it looks like a VW parts website.
