Its pretty easy. Just unbolt them and pop the rivets out. They go back on just as easy... But I'm warning you man, If you ride sand or other loose surfaces you will probably be eating alot of debris. I used to have cut fenders on my 440ex w/ +3 a-arms and ate alot of sand.

Yeah, buddy I murder everything out. Cant wait to powdercoat that bish. And I would trade my left nut for some LT suspension right now

powdercoating your frame black would make it look even better.

i'm gonna do semi gloss on the frame, subframe, swinger. And then do a flat textured ceramic coat on the engine parts. Possibly coat the Yoshi black, but most likely I'll get a Black tip Dasa down the road instead. I think it would be awesome to do the motor in black too but haven't researched the $ yet. I have a feeling it wouldn't be worth it for me. Especially because I plan on racing it this season and the paints gonna get beat up anyway. I need LT before I do anything really, we'll see what happens

Sweet bike,LOVE the black!!!IF i ever build another 450r its 95% most likely gona be COMPLETELY blacked out or mayb put some chrome with the black.

Oh and if you get the DASA you'll be more than happy with it!!!
Nice bike!!!

i'm trying to come up with what scheme I want to go for with my black R. I've never owned a black quad before, usually you try to put black parts on all the other colors but a black quad i'm not so sure yet. either black it out or try adding some other color. yours looks good though

Here is a lil video I made last weekend at sandlake with the helmet cam. Nothing special because there are no jumps at sand lake, no razorbacks, nuthin. And Youtube compressed the vid so much it looks about 1/10th as good as it does on my PC
