Hey all, I am rebuilding my 2005 TRX450R for MX this winter. I am planning on running houser a-arms with either elka or pep front shocks. I got my rear revalved with the GT Thunder link by GT Thunder, and also got lotsa powdercoating done by BK Performance (Pappy is the man!) I am going to be running black plastics with nacs tank graphics, and one industries fender graphics (already installed, match perfect with Nac's tank graphic) I will be putting HRC Cam in, and have Rossier exhaust, Dynotech ignition, and kibblewhite springs to put on. I have Flexx bars to go on yet, but I gotta get a big bar adapter clamp also. I am still undecided on what nerfs to run, looking at either blingstar DC racer nerfs or AC propegs. Here are a couple of pics, let me know what you think!

I bet it never fails to make you happy to see your work come together and look soo good! The PC looks amazing in person, and these pics just do not do it justice. I will keep updates here as I go.

I haven't done anything with the front shocks yet. I am either going with Pep or Elka, not decided yet on which one.

Pappy will that sparkle red look good with the stock Honda red plastics....cause I have the older Blood red Maier plastics going on my 250R...and can't decide on what colors to do....thats why I have sent you anything...anyway bpimpdaddy that R is gonna be sweet

I think it would match the newer red fenders better then the older maier. fire red is a better match!

i cant wait to see these 2 quads finished, they will both be sick!

You are not alone there, it sucks having to look at them in the basement. Just did the HRC cam and valve springs tonight, easy job!
