ππ» This bike has been built from the frame up and holds a special heartfelt tribute. β€οΈ Earlier this year our local riding community lost a young up and coming racer. He was involved in an accident with an SXS, and tragically passed from his injuries. I did not personally know him, but I have learned of his passion and love for the sport from his family. I wanted to fix the bike he was riding to honor his memory and I am proud to know heβs looking down on the bike & smiling. ππ»
Originally a 2025 FE450, mostly disassembled & in boxes.
Started with a nearly new 2023 FX450 frame. (This required using the FX Linkage and swing arm as well.) My trusty 2017 KTM 450XCF finally blew the tr**ny at 630 hours. π It didnβt seem cost effective to rebuild, so I reached out to Cody at CM Parts and he was stoked to work a deal. With some minor disassembly, I stuffed my KTM into crate and shipped it to Arizona for credit towards what I would need for this build. I was able to get the frame, swing arm, linkage and many of the other parts I would needβ¦. and fast! Huge thanks to Cody and the team Phoenix AZ, Dirtbike Parts π for all of the help!
At this point it was just a matter of turning wrenches, figuring out a few minor problemβs & adding the goods. π§ π©
