Hey Guys,
This here is just a writeup of a little project I did on my beloved FE450. I took my enduro and put an SM kit on it. I am running 17" husaberg wheels, Pirelli Sport Demon Tyres, Moose Racing Sawblade Rotors, and a 15-42 gearing. I got all of my parts and service assistance from OFFROAD BOSS he is great. He hooked me up really well, set up my wheels balanced them and gave me all of the technical assistance I needed. He also threw in some badass husaberg and Bozarth stickers for my truck. GREAT SHOP look him up http://www.offroadboss.com/contact_us.htm
All and all a good winter project that did not give me too many headaches. A couple of things that may be obvious to you regulars that took me some effort were:
The fs hub in the rear is not an easy fit. I thought there may have been a different axle or something but the cush hub does not allow the axle to just slide through at least the first time fitting it. Had to fit it like they do in Russia "Beat it until it does what you want" I had to take the hub apart and see that the axle will slide through the parts individually and when you take the cush rubbers out but when they are in it needs some mallet action. Secondly, I KNOW IT IS IN THE MANUAL NOW but it is in a bold sidenote and not where i would expect to see it but in order to fit the new chain i have for the FS kit i had to turn my adjuster blocks around so I could fit my chain up proper.
I have a couple of things I have left to do. First is to do something with my sidestand which is a bit long. I dont want to cut it too bad because i plan on switching the wheels out and running the knobbies on it when i can find some trail time. I am thinking I might make a sort of sleeve with a metal pipe and making 2 holes so i can have the sidestand adjustable or just chopping an inch off of it because the sidestand is a little more for the street use anyhow. "FISHING FOR SUGGESTIONS!"
And secondly I need to get a magnet for the speedo. something I neglected to think of. for the cost i would prefer to just buy another rather then swap it over. the small circlip is hard to get to through the spokes anyhow.
Now the fun part PICTURES
Forgive me I didn't have my camera handy when in the process but here are some nice after shots.
NOW FOR A RIDE
Ok maybe in March
