Long time no see.
Long time no see.
I have been off a while. Probably a whole year or so. I sold all my bikes and Atvs this year and haven't been riding. But the day before yesterday I went and picked up an 08 kx450 which seems like a pretty nice ride. I am getting lazy in my old age evidently and this 450 likes to poke around like I do. lol
The bike does need a couple things like a brake and clutch lever and a couple wheels and tires to be back in great shape though. I got a real deal on the thing though.
Anyone know where I can find deals on that stuff through the net? Our kawa dealer went out of business around here like the year this thing was sold. lol Like I could afford to get anything from a dealer anyway. hehe I have been on Rockymnt and they have a set of g-force in black for 79.99 front and same for the back. Are they worth the coin or no? I can get the levers from there for under 10 bucks a side.
Or better yet if you have these cluttering up your garage you can send em my way. lol

I think I can tighten a few spokes and bring the front back to true but the rear has a big ding in it. I think all I am gonna need is some levers and I would like to look into getting some headlights for the thing. Not to super concerned about a tail light and definitely don't need signals though. I am having some issues finding what one I like though. Most kits I am finding include a whole deal to get road legal or look super tacky. Of course I need some rubber too. Any recommendations for something that would have some life and hook good in mud, and through the woods with some occasional pavement use? There isn't a single road around here that is gravel anymore so being on pavement is inevitable...
Oh Happy Thanksgiving I ate good today and got to ride about an hour. I can say this thing doesn't give me the arm pump like the 500 did. lol

dont listen to these haters, thats a nice bike. My '09 has been a great bike and only really required basic maintenance in the 2 1/2 years and hundreds of hours on it
