great setup! who makes the black hood insert on your bike?

 

[dan85]

I made it myself. Its the plastic headlight thing. Then i got special black paint for plastic at an autobody supply place.

Love the black wheels! are those douglas billet beadlocks? if so where did u get them powdercoated?

 

[dan85]

I got everything on that machine from Lost Creek Cycles. Just ask for Kevin and tell him little Dan told u to call. The wheels came from douglas black already

Sweet looking quad man! How do the Ohlins ride?

 

[YFZ450 Blaster Racer]

Can you give us a ride report? I always wondered how well OHLINS stacks up against Elka and Custom AXis. PLus the reason i like them is i can get them through Parts Unlimited for a great price.

 

[SandJunkie]

Man that it the greatest...love how you took the info here and applied it...can't wait to see some more 450's with the "nose job"

 

[R450MX]

Very good looking. I like the fender cuts too, just like Dunk's. The black wheels look sick too!!

How do the ohilins ride?

 

[4-stroke rocket]

I think somebody is trying to make a dunk replica....

 

[dan85]

No Dunk replica. I just like what Lost Creek Cycles uses for suspension and a arms. The Ohlins are the best shocks i have ever used. I had long travel custom axis on my Yfz. I thought they were the best shocks ever, then i rode on these Ohlins and its night and day. They are so smooth. I didnt have to do any adjustment. I just bolted them on and started riding. Kevin @ LCC set the shocks up just like Dunks.

looks great I like that hood piece!

 

[Bigless36]

Very nice! you should enter it for QOTM

 

[dan85]

Guys, the Ohlins shocks are insane. They are so smooth and plush. On Saturday at Walden there was a section of crazy breakin bumps around a sweepin turn. I was rippin through there in 3rd gear holdin my line. I remember last year on my YFZ with Axis, going through the same spot on the track and I was all over the place. It turns on the dime now too. I couldn't be happier.

Bike looks great.

[dirtpilot15x]

Agreed bike does look great! are those A-arms shorter than stock length? Might just be the camera angle! Either way looking great!

You Da Man - Dan

Im also looking at upgrading the suspension (both ends) of my LTR. Would it be too much to ask:

* what model Ohlins you went for and why? I had a look at their site and there are so many to choose from.

* How much did it set you back? YFZ450 Blater Racer, mentioned that Parts unlimited sell them at a good price. So would like to do a price comparrison

* What kind of riding do you do? I would be doing MX, just to make sure i get the right ones.

* Did you have to replace the A-Arms, or will they bolt onto stock?

* If A-arms are changed, which ones did you go for and why? Priced?

Sorry for all the Questions, just wat to make an informed decision..

Later.

Keep it on all Fours

 

[YFZ450 Blaster Racer]

Same question above! what kind of OHlin shocks are those?

 

[zuke168]

are those updog number plates

 

[quadracer450 52]

Yes, Im pretty sure those are updog number plates. I was looking at those before I bought mine at http://www.goforitgraphics.com
