Got The Holeshot
Arm chair racerJust too addicted
Maybe some nice lime green for the hubs, bumper, grab bar and get some nerfs and paint them lime green too. Just an idea. Great quad, I know what you mean about an everyday rider. Be careful, after riding and racing my Raptor exclusively this year and not getting much seat time on my Tecate, last time I took it out I had lost the feel for three wheels.
It came back after a little while though.

It always comes back.
I cannot get over how quick this thing revs. It doesn't like to go slow.

Did some more trail riding today. Caught the stock skid a couple times in some ruts and kissed every rock I seen with it. I want 22 inch tires for the rear. I also have some PRM skids coming and Cycra bark busters.

nice choice! you cant go wrong with the new 450s. I would get some large 22'' holeshots or razrs, a too agressive of a tire ruins the fun of a sport quad I think. The PRM skid and cycra hand guards are great, I have both on my yfz.

I've had the moose mounts on my Tecate. Would rather get a 1 piece mount.
I'm thinkin pink hubs in the future. That or black hubs and black shock covers.
Ordered the steering stabilizer and wide grab bar this morning since it is still raining hard.

Lord of the trike
Very nice. I love the 450r. Until I did some research the other day I didn't realize there was such a difference between the '04-'05 and '06+ (like 5+ hp, electric start, etc)

Everything except the HRC kit and seat are ordered plus a twist throttle kit.
I'll leave the motor alone until winter comes and I want the extra power for the lake/snow.
Ordering my tall seat foam and cover in the morning.

They are quite strong stock...wait until you throw the hrc kit and a few other mods in, it can turn into a bit of a handful at times even for a very experienced rider. There are a few issues that need to be taken care of for serious riding, but overall I still feel the Honda is the 450 to have, atleast for me.

I'm with you there. It fits me great. I don't want to make it too high strung, it has to go slow too. Some of the trails here are 1st gear all the way.
