So I just picked up an '05 TRX450R. It is in great condition but now its time to make it look good. Right now it is mostly stock, it has a DASA intake, Sparks exhaust, HRC cam, Custom Axis LT, JB +2 Arms etc.
Ideally I would like to Powder coat the frame, arms, swinger, clutch cover, stem, bars, hubs, spindles, so on and so forth. Also looking to either buy a set of stock plastics and get a hood and lose the stock lights, or go with a set of after market plastics.
I'm leaning towards this so far:
Frame/subframe - Gold or Red
Spindles - Gold or Red
Hubs - Gold or Red
Upper arms - Gold or Red
Lower arms Black
Swinger - Black
Wheels - Black
Plastics - White/Silver???????
OR
Plastics - Red
Tank - Natural
Wheels - Chrome
Hubs/Spindles - Red
Frame/Subframe/Swinger - ???????
Just looking into some input as to what would look good. It has black plastics right now, and I am going to avoid black plastics (except maybe the tank) and avoid a black frame. I might entertain the idea of black plastics if I can refinish the ones that are currently on it, but not looking to buy new ones.
Also, Looking for information on polishing the case and head as well as the exhaust while it is out of the frame at PC.
Last but not least, I want to find out what I can take off as far as un-necessary parts go, I.E. Heel guards, skid plate, brake covers, all that kind of stuff. Not looking to make it lighter, just to reduce some of the clutter as far as wiring and excess parts goes.
This bike will be mainly ridden in the dunes.
Thanks,
Mike
