My son is in the process of moving up to the 450 class from the 300 class and I just bought him a 07 ltr 450 to ride. We are looking for a good builder that can help us with getting the bike ready. We have just done the basics so far including nerf bars, tires and tims and handlebars. Need direst on what should come next. Exhaust, shocks , steering stab, motor work . We live in Northern Canada but Michingan is just a few Minutes away

suspension should always come before motor work...

suspension suspension suspension. not sure how long your son has been racing, some kids come from the 300 class to A class, others dont.. If he is an A class rider then supension AND motor work is almost a must. But otherwise focus on suspension and seat time. then when the motor isnt cutting it send it to a reputable builder. Wouldnt hurt to go ahead and throw on a pipe, cherry bomb and open up the airbox. Im not familiar with LTRs but but someone will chim in with a good intake setup.

you should get a hold of KOQ racing, we just came out with a new pro-comp a-arm for the ltr, and have the link to go with them. we work with Motowoz performance shocks to complete our suspension packages. For engines we use swp for all of our team bikes, and Jake has a very nice package for the ltr, we also work with Barker exhaust, and have found they have the highest hp # with the best torque curve. we are all located in michigan, and all work together to make it easy for the buyer. call the shop at 616-363-1215, and we will hook you up
