Pokey151 244 Posted January 20, 2020 With this new bike, I had a hard decision between this and the new KTM 500 EXC. The rebate on the CRF pushed me to red. I was able to get the CRF PLUS all the goodies including a larger tank for what the 500 was. I know its still not a KTM 500 though. Anyways my point of this post is to just link up and ride new places. As I type this, its still all stock minus a set of Goldentyres (which are very slippery on the street. Downshifting breaks the rear loose. Reminds me of my supermoto days with a overheated rear tire.) So I am waiting for all the parts to show up. I still need just a couple items I forgot to order, a skid plate and hand guards. I also should add a GPS to this as well Maybe a scotts steering stabilizer? What are your thoughts on a GPS and skid plate for these? My older KTM I added a trail tech Voyager, I really liked it but I think its overkill because of this bike already having temp, speedo etc.. Skid plates, aluminum or the new plastic ones? I am use to the metal and never trusted the plastic but reading up on them, they seem to be solid. Also for the current 450L owners, any info would be appreciated. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagstr 287 Posted January 21, 2020 TMD Skid Plate with about 8k miles off-road. Also consider that the non-metal are silent compared to aluminum rattle cans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertaccio 406 Posted January 22, 2020 Most excellent machine. the sky is the limit with mods. You can view Enduro 21 for details as well as on the Italian importer site of Redmoto to see all the trick bits, PS all FIM enduro machines are street legal. here is a legit DS ( so OK Euros don't require turn signals but neither do 1/2 the Harley chopper guys)version to reach for.

MacDuncan 131 Posted January 22, 2020 Congrats Pokey, I would assume that every SDAR member is happy to see a fellow rider with a new bike in the back of a pick-up. It screams of joy and happiness! Well done, looks good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
