holy shyt that R has a nice assend view....sickness....but the pics that we have on here from an earlier date that 450r with the woody graphics kit...whose R was that....that R and this R has different a-arms, tires, wheels, nerfs, bumper, Etc.


but i see tim is running a protraxx frontend....looks good....

I dont like how that header pipe bows out like that... Why do they have a Sparks head pipe with a DG silencer?

I agree with ya on the bow of the pipe. I asked tim if it got in his way every so often, but he said "its never bothered me." Im more worried about making it go faster than looks. Looks are cool but, unless your fast you wont get looks.

The next time you watch a two wheel race look at Kevin Windhams head pipe it is the same way. I read an article on it but can't remember why they do it, something about it lets it breather better some how.

[norrisboat]

I know... tim was telling me why, but i wasnt listening to him why it is that they make it that long.

The downward bend in the header pipe affects the powerband during different ranges of the RPM, and it also lowers the center of gravity. :devil:

Length of the entire system enables you to tune the engine. Though I have never heard the entire story I do know that the Euro Moto guys have VERY long silencers by companies like Arrow and Akropovic. They stick out past the end of the seat by 3 or four inches. They race on long tracks compared to here in the states so high end hp must be a must.
Here in the states, TC runs those sawed off Supertrapps with stock headpipes and having ridden one I will say it was the torque-iest 440 I have ever been on. I would really like to hear one of the National engine builders explain it.

[r450rr]

i love it...it looks better everyday..and that arse end looks sweet,, coolest arse end by far.. i am sorry to say this but the people that think it doesnt look that good are crazy. 13 more days and i hope to see it or at least no it has been shipped.

[simoniz]

I might be way out in left feild on this but it looks like in the picture that their is a sway bar on the front like for TT. Is that correct??

[quadrcr161]

if another thread they said it was removed after practice. im loving that new hood, that quad shouldnt come with headlights.

[r450rr]

they gotta leave something on there for us to modify...lol..besides id like to stick some hyper whites on there from www.piaa.com since i herd that the dont dim when the rpms is lowered ,,,,how is that with no battery. it must be one hell of a watchmacallit.

[MIA450R]

Probably has a very strong stator w/ a solid regulator that has good capacitance on it to hold the charge up for dips in voltage.

[TCracin440ex]

yea that hood on that bike really set it off...i mean i tought it was a lil ugly and it grew on me....then i saw that quad tech hood...and i was like damnn that bytch is bad....id like to see if quad tech makes a hood that has a scoop on it...that will proally make it look alot better

[Sportrax10]

Oh ok thanks, and the silencer is because DG is his sponser.

[Matt102]

Did they mention how long the LT front shocks are?

[norrisboat]

The pep shocks are 20 inches on the trx450r.

[lukester720]

Norrisboat, I am only seeing 1 picture out of the ones you posted. I'm I the only one having this problem?

[norrisboat]

you seem to be the only one..... I can see all of them.

yes i agree 100%..that side view with them tires, n the hood....all them pics make it look mean as hell

[rollie]

i used to hate the 450R...now i want one!! lol:)

[Billa-bong38]

can only see just one pic as well

[TCracin440ex]

goldenwest cylce alraedy has laeger a-arms, swing arm, and alot of other stuff forsale for the 450r

[ThumPIN_450R]

will the TC shorty silencer fit on the LRD header or does it have to be stock and would LRD sell the header without a silencer i know that's a little off subject but i was wondering about that.

[TCracin440ex]

tc shorty only works on the stock header....and you have to cut 5 inches of your stock head pipe off to make it work

An old trick...

We usually take some crayon. Start a line from the end of the pipe where you put the silencer on and make it like 8" long.

Then, we'll warm up the quad....wherever the line stops melting is the exact spot we mount at. Then we just modify mount to fit.
