MX Racers...

[motox_rider695]

did any of you guys do any modification to your bike for mx racing? besides pipe n motor work... Like a lowered subframe or frame supports?

if u did how did it feel before and after the fact?

Thanks!

The frame supports are basically mandatory.

do the ds450's sit higher than the other 450s?

i have the factory widened a-arms, and axle, and kyb shocks. also the anti-vibe steering-stem, and streamline steering dampener is a must! What ever you can afford to make the thing more powerfull as well. and get 18 inch rear and 20 inch front tires, depending on your terrain. 19 inch rear tires are better for sand and tracks you need more ground clearance for.

I would watch that streamline. I broke mine in half after a few sx races. But until than it worked great

i havent even had to rebuild mine yet. It is a little tricky to mount though, I had a problem with it hitting the radiator fan at first.

also having your electrical gutted is somethign to look into . bcs does it. the radiator mod is another great idea. (there are coolant hoses around your gas tank that will cause your gas to heat up and actually boil.) the mod removes them and replaces the overflow under your seat with another at a different location. dont forget to replace your stock carrier or your nice axle may pay the price
