Ok, here is my brand new 2008 Honda CRF450R. Just picked it up last Saturday.

My daughter loves to be in pictures. And man does she want a 50 with training wheels. Maybe this X-mas...

Please ignore the dirty garage. I would have cleaned it, but I had a new bike to prep. :thumbsup:

The rear sprocket is actually an aluminum unit from SunStar. Quite light, but I doubt it will last long, especially with the stock chain.

Ahhh yes. The stabilizer.

I went through the bike pretty thoroughly. Greased the stearing head bearings, linkage -- both were pretty dry. I found a lot of loose bolts during the process, bike prep fee and check list my ass...

The stock air filter was pretty dry too. I quickly changed it for a clean one I had on the bench with a fresh coat of No Toil. They must have made the hole bigger in the subframe because it came out and in real easy.

Ok, I had a bunch of parts waiting for the bike when it arrived home.

FasstCo Flexxbars
Ironman front and rear sprockets
DID ERT2 gold chain
Utah Sport glide plate
Hardline hour meter
Spider Grips
Cycra roost guards

Here is the new chain and rear sprocket.

Flexx Bars. Man do I love these things.

Utah Sport Glide Plate. Nice and thick, full coverage front to rear.

Hardline Hour meter, still at 0.

Couldn't wait to show you guys. Just got the new graphics on the bike and the seat cover. All from Flu Designs. Absolutely the most comprehensive kit I've ever gotten, and the quality is top notch.

Here is a sneak preview.

I'll get some better shots on Saturday in the sunlight. The picture does it no justice. They are so sharp.
