2008 DS450 MX Build

[xrxmxcx]

Figured I would start a thread on the new build for 2009. I would like to thank everyone for the help with this, Can-am, SF Racing, Columbia Motorsports, and most importantly my dad (Co_Racer).

I wish I could say it was done, but then again I would be lying....

SIK!! what else are you doing?

[ProConcept]

Can you take a pic of how the radiator guard mounts up? I have the race parts but haven't installed them yet and was wondering where to cut the plastic shrouds.

[Blizzard24]

Are those the aluminum or the carbon fiber shrouds?

There should be paperwork included with the parts and it gives a good description of where to make the template.

It is 60mm back top/bottom where the black inset plastic is in the front.

I didn't get no paper work or templete, I was trying to figure this out last night. Can you put some close up pics and show us what your talking about better. My mounting holes didn't even line up that well on the 09. Thanks!

Im assuming thats a BRP race team louver made out of plastic and sheet metal.

xrxmxcx-sent you a message.

[spanky101]

Good god man, that bike is sickkk! Its looking great, i cant wait to see it finished!

[xrxmxcx]

I will take a few more pictures of how the shroud mounts up. It is a very easy install and cutting the plastics is done nice with a very sharp razor blade.

I have everything for the bike on hand and done, except for graphics!

:o

How does the Can Am compare to your hybrids?

[xrxmxcx]

Still getting used to it, and working on different setups. All in all I would say a big improvement in weight and handling. This bike is very comfortable and I am adapting to its new riding style.

[HOBS DS450]

Looks good!

Did you ever get rid of those other a-arms?

[yfzracer14]
