Here they are! Rath LT a-arms for the KTM 450/525XC. THese arepics of the first set. They have swaybar tabs that can be added if you need them. They can build them for MX or TT. They are made to work with the stock Ohlins length shocks. They come fully assembled with the heims, lower bearings etc, balljoints and tie rods. I believe they will be $925. Call them at 320-234-7223 and talk to Kristi or Jennifer to order a set.

Here's a pic from sunday...I think I'm going to turn them out so I can adjust the compression easier and see the little tick mark on top.

If it's not a problem. I'm just curious what Seth used for an MX setup.

I'll get my sheets out when I get home and look em over. Seth didn't touch em, they came strait from Wayne, so that way you can see how he set them up.

You've got a rear on there too or just fronts?

Awesome bro! Can't wait to get our bikes together! Ice ride? :)

Also, I am hoping that I'll have my SX in my shop by Nov. 1.... Just got sure if I should get a 450 or 505. If I get a 505 I might be kickin myself since I won't be able to run production. Hmmmm......

Yea, we need to to some ice racing this winter.

You should just get a 450SX. If you want a 505 later all you need to do is buy the 505 piston and cylinder.

I suppose that is a good way to look at it. I'm gonna use my XC over the winter,and get my SX ported and stuff while out on the ice.

My KTM head is almost done as I finally got my oversized valves since they were on back order forever!!!!!!

Jay, your head is almost complete.... The exhaust is complete and the intake is shaped... valves are already cut in, so all is left is surface finish the intake, unshroud the compression chamber and polish, flow test and its done...

In parallel, I have 3 of Daryl Rath's Polaris (KTM) carbs I'm boring,... Daryl plans on testing multiple carb bore combination to determine the optimal setup...

that 'special' piece was a fci transition ring that didn't fit the Ktm intake boot.
