Thats cool, at least your dealer has some kind of idea of what is going on. Are you first on the list, or are you going to have to wait? Where do you ride at and are riding any nationals this year.
How far are you from the motoplex?

yea i am first on the list and then the next 4 are sold after that also.
as for riding around here there is not really to mutch to choose from, just a few backyard tracks and fields and woods trails. that is why i am getting the new 450r to try and start racing...i never have before so we will see how that goes.
the motoplex is i think about 3 hours east of me, but i would love to try it out sometime. have you been before? or ever raced around here?

I have been to the motoplex, but i havent raced there. If my 450r comes in this week i will definately go up there this week. As far as local races i dont know of too many. do you want to race mx or cross country? There are races down at laural IN, and other than that we will do all of the nationals but 2 of them, and we will do some local fair races.

I just talked to my dealer yesterday and was told I have about 10 days

did you guys get any snow down there? i am afraid that when i get my 450r the snow will be to deep to ride it. right now it is snowing like crazy and we just got 2' last week. i am all for riding in the snow, but this might be too much.

Why is it that tim farr 450r has a bolt that holds the plastic near the feul on off switch where the ones we bought don't have one there?? Did honda up date that or will we end up having to replace plastic if we crack it??

Guy400

It is my understanding that the bolt will be added to new units rolling off the assembly line. All the units that are being shipped right now have been manufactured months ago so they'll obviously not get the update. I don't know if there's a mounting tab behind there on the frame but if there is I'd just drill the plastic and add a bolt.

Fox Pro-Pilot helmet
Fox 02 Honda jersey
Fox Honde Gloves
Fox Honda 360 Pants
Fox Socks
Fox Kidney Belt
Alpinestar Tech 8 boots
Alpinstar Socks

I got some more Gear to get! Stuff ain't cheap these days.

I also have a Pro-design Kill switch on order.

I will be ordering Hiper beadlocks, Holeshot XCR's, Nerf's a Bumper and skidplates as well as some Acerbis hand gaurds.

I'll be ordering some more stuff as soon as I confirm information on fitment.

briantrx
01-26-2004, 12:28 PM
all i have ordered as of now is just the hrc kit (already at dealer), but as soon as i get the quad i will get bumpers and would like to get propeg nerfs with heel guards.
any new info from dealers today? nothing from mine yet, just waiting on the call.

granticimo
01-26-2004, 06:30 PM
Nothing from the dealers yet. :( I found out that the AC propegs are not fitting good, I heard this form golden west and instead of those since I already paid for them they are sending me Roll Design foot pegs and standard AC nerfs for Cheap!
They called me and told me that they got their first production bike and have been putting all of the aftermarket stuff on it to make sure that it fits. John told me that everything is good except the pro pegs. It seems as if all of my parts are going to be here before I get the bike. Well hopefully we here something soon here in indy.
