I just saw this thread and realize you are running the turn signals as well. This sure looks and performs better than stock. What a joke that one is. I even took a torch and heated up the plastic and pulled up on the sub fender to raise it up out of harms way but it is still obtuse. I guess I need to think about those little turn signals. :thinking:

Another question. I have another friend who is contemplating the 450 vs the 530. He is concerned that the 450 has too much of a bump in the power band where the 530 just goes all the way. What are your thoughts as to the power band being sort of like a 2 stroke coming on to the pipe so to say? I keep telling him to get the 530 and exercise throttle management.

My stocker survived on the TTR after the first ride, just a little bit got damaged on the bottom. I guess I do not ride hard enough to have the wheel rip it off...:thinking:

The 450 is nothing like a 2t. You can lug it down and it just pulls. No big power hits at all. The 530 was too much for me and the forest single track that I most of the time.

My suspension is set too soft. Or maybe I'm too fat :thinking:

With the Husky, the 510 is just a little to aggressive for forest single track. Could be the same with the KToom. I prefer the 450 power on a bike that you can push hard in the desert and still manage the forest trails.

Nice tail light set up rack. I like the Baja a little better though, it is a little shorter.

Are you telling me if I had a 450 I would have to "Push" it around in the desert? Man I am glad I modded the TTR..:prof:
