Personally I would have spent the money on the KX :-P Those cool looking throttle tubes are just that, "cool looking". My mate bought the same one Blue and put it on his yz. It filled up with water on the first ride and seized up. He rode back to camp pulling the cable with his hand.. He may have just got a dodgy one

Thanks for the warning. I guess It will be a not as cool looking motion pro throttle going on it.

Dropped the bike of at the machine shop for the swing arm bolt. pulled the clutch cover so they can use parallel blocks to get it straight and true.
Pulled the top end and it is in need of a resleeving. I am sending to Eric Gore and having him port it for usable, broader power.
Going with a stock bore. He did one of my old rm250 motors back in 2002 and it was a great job.
I am thinking about doing a compression release. I know theres a guy on here doing them that Gore recommended somewhere.
Looks like I have boyesen reeds on the stock cage. I need to find out which reed cage offers the best or broadest improvement.
All that with the service honda KXAF gnarly pipe and stock carb.
I wont have the top end to mock up with the radiators when my frame is done. I dont think it will be a problem as there is enough room to move the rads up and/or forward.

Still waiting on the machine shop.
The 2015 kx450 front plate and fender will work. I just need to drill new holes in the fender.
Most of the other parts are in except my cylinder and some nonimportant parts.
The green chrome vinyl looks great. I'll wrap the forks and make decals with it.
seems like all the graphics today look like an add kid on acid made them. Plus it's hard to get green kits for a Suzuki.
