New bike...

**SonofaBish** · 01-10-2009, 10:52 AM

Honda CRF450R - I've actually had it and been riding it for about a month now.... but I have never been super crazy about Honda red, so here are some pics of it when i bought it and a few from after its transformation..... Unbelievably awesome bike - I will miss certain aspects of my RM265 (2stroke), but overall i'm absolutely thrilled with the bike! This CRF and my RM are very similar in power, but completely different in how they deliver the power! I could go on and on, but we'll just get to the good part - the pics

Before:

After:

The seat is not actually bolted on right now, b/c the staplegun I have to put the seat cover on isn't strong enough to push completely down through and hold the seat cover securely... So all that's left is to get the seat cover on securely and #21 on the number plates, and she's finished!

yes, they are FLU Designs graphics (Face Lift Unlimited) - great fit and great quality!

and yes sir..... Mike was an extremely nice guy! It was still more expensive than I expected, but it wasn't anything outrageous, so I didn't make any fuss.... The only thing i'm dissapointed with is that I got all the graphics put on, and then once i got the front fender on, I see that its not perfectly straight... for some reason, the front part is twisted just a teeny tiny tweek... But now that I have the graphics on, there's nothing i can do about it... I still have a front number plate to pick up, so i thought i'd say something when i pick it up... I would have never thought a brand new fender would have a tweek in it... here's a quick pic ... its not a real big deal but it frustrated me at first - - - - if you take your finger and push the left side down just a 1/4" it straights up perfectly! I'm not sure if heat is an option for me or not?

Thanks... those graphics are always modeled and seen on black plastics ... but i asked the sales guy for the manufacturer if he had any pics of them on red plastic, since my plastics were in good shape - he didn't, but he sent me a pic of his personal bike, which was these graphics on white plastic, and i was completely sold... IMO, sweetest graphics i've seen! needless to say, i'm very happy with them! I was also surprised on how well i did with the graphics - no bubbles at all! ... The seat cover is another story - i need a stronger staple gun, and even when i have one, it just doesn't seem to fit perfectly - at the very front, i just can't seem to get the wrinkles 100% gone using binder clips (that's how i'm testing it out) maybe with staples it'll come out right!
