I can’t wait to sell my 22 gas gas mc450 and 23 gas gas ex450 so I can go pick up a 25 gas gas es500 and start doing some light adventure riding. I’m hoping to be able to fit in the budget to have you set up the front end of the bike for me with everything needed for a gps and phone mount headlight and all the goodies you do. I really don’t want to mess with the wiring on these new bikes lol
Where do you run the vent hose to? I have the Vortex ECU and the desmog kit installed by the previous owner and it has the canister in the frame capped off on both sides, can I hook the vent hose there? I need to place an order for some fork skins and that vent hose.
Honda guys over all do not spend the $$$ compared to KTM riders just like Ducati guys, vs. JAPANESE guys I know some JAPANESE guys do but not as often for the clients Taco goes for
I seen two of the 500 builds in the staging areas. One at the 2023 LAB2V and at Big Bear hard route. Both were competing. Excited to see if any turn up for 2025 VCGP.
“You won’t see any good riders on one of these any time soon” Internet comments seldom have anything real to say, and as a bonus, the posters seldom have any knowledge of what they are talking about. It’s nice to see the trend continue
Dang it thats a nice build! Love those graphics.
The graphics kit really looks good. Nice build as always.
Hey Mike - Love the videos - How about a list or links to all the upgrades in the videos?

Congrats to the owner.

What’s the bracket to relocate the ignition? That’s a great idea and would like that for my KTM 350. Thanks
Love the cammo graphic scheme and of course the bike. As always, you’re the one to copycat…haha

Great videos! Would be nice to see more content on CRF450RL builds.

True, but he does have a CRF450RL that he does a lot of R&D on. Just seems like he hasn’t been posting the Honda very much
All those great farkles, grips, seat and still using stock pegs?
Some riders love the stainless, wide traction, good positioning of them 💪🏽
Cannot locate front brake cable guide/clamps on your website to purchase them? Have a link?
Mike, still waiting for you to tell us, what happened to the beta you had....
I was just thinking the same thing. Haha
36hp for the old generation to 48hp on the new generation? That’s a big jump!
Sorry, I misspoke there
36 is the stock number
48 after mods
Apologies for the error
