Nice bike what all do you have done to your 450?

just a little build lol. its a 480 now, p&p head, hrc cam, 13:1, race gas, right now lol


couple more things i made today. a bracket to hold the loading ramps in place and a paper towel holder. i went to wallmart and couldnt find any paper towel holders and since im playing with the aluminum dplate i figured i would make one of them as well.

i got to use my trailer last week. i loved it, i didnt have to change outside in the cold with a bunch of meat gaisers looking, lol.

i played with the trucks options. in tow/haul it pulled great and i liked 5th gear the most on the way home. in tow/haul there we were rockin 65 to 70 mph and 6th and it pulled great. i did tow it a little out of tow/haul to see what it would do, it wasnt much different other than the shift points, really like the down shifting of the tow/haul switch. i also went into manual mode once i got on the freeway because it would click 6th here and there so i droped it into 5th and left it.

with 2 quads and gear i got 9.5 mpg.

the trailer pulled like a dream as well, 70 mph with no problems. it is a 8' wide box and looking behind me was fun, but i dont want them dumbo ear mirrors on my rig. besides i dont want to see the guy rearend me anyways lol.

maybe ill gte a sticker like the big rigs have on there trailers, IF YOU CANT SEE MY MIRRORS I CANT SEE YOU, LOL.
