African Twin anyone?

Not a lot of chatter in here. Whats everyone think of the new African Twin? I'm kinda of excited but also disappointed. I have a short inseam so it's really tough for me to street tall bikes, not much easier in the dirt but I manage.

Also kinda sad it's a 500lb machine.

FS: 2005 Honda CRF450R frame, swing arm, rims, shock + misc

Hey guys I just updated my for sale thread. If it's not in the test list it's gone. I don't have any paperwork for the frame and it has the typical cable rub that's worn away the center digits on the vin so I think getting paperwork for it would be tough. Everything is located in 21048 and I'm willi...

You'd be surprised. Programmed correctly I can't imagine that cover taking much more than an hour to cut out. The triple trees I posted above, take 12 minutes for the top to be cut out and 15 for the bottom. Obviously the cover is a little more intricate but I can't imagine much more than and hour a...

All years clutch cover will physically bolt up. Most of us buy a 2001 right hand case and the quick change cover. The clutch cavity with the quick change cover is a little deeper so you may need to space your brake pedal over with a shim/spacer. The only other issue you run into is the newer covers ...

crf450 fuel tanks: FI vs non FI

Can anyone do me a huge favor and snap a few pics of a non-FI tank next to a FI tank, focusing on the the differences in the bottoms I'm working on another project and I really could use a little more clearance and the hump in this 04-05 crf450 tank is a real hangup.
