Ok so this is gonna be my first ever winer rebuild. I basically plan on doing a new top end, tearing everything down and painting or powder coating, and refreshing the whole bike. I plan on adding as many goodies as I possibly can. Questions, comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Here is a list of parts I plan on putting on:
Wiseco 86mm 11:1 piston
Stage 2 hot cam
Crf450 timing chain
Port and polish
New axle bearings
+2 a-arms(not sure which ones yet)
Seat cover
I'm probably forgetting a lot but you get the idea

I'll post pics in a couple as it sits now

looking good man, the +2 a arms you want, i would really recommend GTT +2 a arms. They are $400 and GTT is a amazing brand.

Idk just getting ideas in your head haha
:D

Thanks and yeah that's not too bad. I havent heard many good things about the full flights and they're about the same price. I'm not looking to spend 900 on some Laegers either so the Gtt sound like what I'm gonna go with

Just to give an update I got the motor back together and it runs awesome. Me and my buddy built an aluminum air box last night, I just gotta give it to my friend so he can weld it up. I'm also waiting for my buddies powder coating connection to finish the big oven. I'll post pics of the box later when I get home
