With the passage of SB5800 I knew it was time for a sweet plated dirt bike.
I had made my XRs all they could be, but they were still slow and heavy.

so I looked for a good 450 all around bike. It was a decision between the KTM450/525/530 and the WR450F. Too many valve parties with the Hondas. I have always liked Inspectors WRR, and found a good deal on a 2007 WR450F, so I went blue.

Friday, February 17
$3400
Still on the original tires, good shape, good deal

I think Ill run the 09 YZ450F exhaust with PMB SA + Ultra Quiet tip for now. That Leo Vince will see adventure days so it doesnt get bashed, its too nice. The 09 system has 95% of the power gain that the LV gives, so I am not missing much. I like how it is tucked away with the short can.

the 09 yzf pipe. The header is HUGE.

I have a IMS 3.1G tank on the way.

This thing is FOBAR. Farkled out beyond all recognition big

Wow, sweet bike, congrats!! Major upgrade from the "L"! Does Cyclebuy have that 2 finger clutch lever in stock still? I couldn't find it on their site and Rekluse don't have them anymore!? We have to go riding some time! :)

Bike build is complete! Less than two months and it is set up just how I want.

N16ht5 WR450F _MG_6119

Put the 07 YZ450F pipe on.. Definitely my favorite. Very quiet, but sounds great when you rip it. Probably right up there in power with the Leo Vince w/o silent insert, but about as quiet as w/ silent insert. The silent insert on the LV is smaller dia than the YZF. Sounds a lot better than the 08 YZF too.



Put a spark arrestor in
