they are badass bikes. i miss mine at times, mostly for the reverse. i would have bought another when i got my 450, but it felt weird buying the same bike again after 3 months.

didnt know they put black wheels on them stock now, with the blue scheme.

it took about 4-5 hours with a pressure washer/purple power, then taking all the plastics off, ect. that was from the weak mudding trip, i have pics where our bikes had 150+ pounds of mud on them

those are off an 08 450. the grill was only like 40 bucks from my dealer.

i saw the grill in person and had to get it, which meant re-doing my springs, other plastics at the same time lol. i was suprised it wasnt a sticker for the price/oem parts.

what are you doin to the bike andy?

yeah, stock on the 08 special edition or whatever honda calls it.

paid just under 300 for the whole set, grill, front and rear fenders. the rear fender flames are a sticker, but the front is painted.
