Joe,
Just wondering if you are making KTM exhaust for the 08 450XC? I just picked one up and need a full system.
Thanks, Jay

There ergonomics are quite similar to the Honda in my opinion. To be honest, I brought the KTM home friday nite and its completely torn down already. I rode it for about 50 ft. haha..
I'll have a full MX ready KTM before too long, I'm just waiting on my PEP PB-1's to be done. SF Racing is hookin' me up !!
THanks, Jay

Well do some research at all the honda's, yamaha's , suzuki's and kawis that had problems. Hell it could have been that he didn't jet right.
I like the KTM alot, and it'll be a nice machine.
Jay
BTW: got my HMF exhaust installed.. looks killer..

From what I have seen it is still only going to be 47" wide. So it will need a set of arms and long travel shocks out of the box to be super trick anywayz....

I'll have a thread up in the TrEw section soon so you guys can check out my build and progress. I have many reasons why I didn't go with the SX. Unfortunately the main reason is I'm too damn in patient!!
hah.... More pics to come, and as far as I know, this should be one of the first mx builds out there in full.

For everyone that was interested in a Rossier pipe, I talked to them yesterday and they pretty much have no intentions of making a pipe for the KTM. From what I can gather, they don't think there is enough of a market to justify the time and effort spent on making a pipe.
