For those wondering:

- Hinson clutch cover $170
- XTRIG Rocs Triple Clamps $800
- Kashima coated fork tubes, shock body, DLC lowers, black lugs $900 minimum
- Pro Circuit Ti-6 exhaust system $1200
- Renthal sprocket $90
- DID gold chain $80
- DID DirtStar STX wheels $415 (you gonna lace em up?)
- Anodized valve head cover $150

Total parts cost (no labor) - $3805 approx. before tax

Kawasaki upcharge over standard KX450 - $3100

I didn't count the different mapping either, which is about $500 on average depending on who you send it to. Or the polished intake ports, which is about half that. It's a no brainer. Yes it's worth it. This bike is on the showroom floor, requires zero effort on the customers part.

Thanks Vital, Happy Holidays! We Just got my boys Lynk's KX112 Mod engine back today, He's so excited! just under 30 HP out of this 170 pound bike with a 110 pound Boy on it, and it should be a Rocket!

The standard KX is choked down from the baffled.muffler meeting the new 25 EU noise standards, if you do a full PC exhaust, efi and air box mods it instantly becomes a 12 O’clock wheelie machine

I don’t know if I want a kx450sr or the crf450rwe

[Dickson]

But the thing is if we buy a stock bike and then do all this to it.. then it’s going to cost more. So you get a bit of a deal with the SR

Built my own sr with a 24 I got for 8k otd cheaper with the same components

Keefer claims the ports were only polished and not ported.

That's way to much money for what it offers over the stock 350.I mean 450😊
