Here's my new racing bike. It is a 2004 KTM 450 EXC. I love this bike. It's my second four-stroke. I had to step up to the 2004 as the changes in the handling and performance were too much to pass up on.

Here's a view of the front fender and headlight.
I'm still using the Acerbis headlight and love the look.
I just finished intalling my numbers and graphics for the 2004 season including my sponsors' graphics.

Here's the rear fender with the sponsor graphics.....

Mechanical

I've made a few adjustments to my 2003 450 to get better performance. Here are a few pics.....

Here's a pic from the right side of the carburator. If you look closely you can see an added screw on the carb to limit the timing of the accelerator pump.

Here's a close-up view of the same screw. There is a spot on the carb that appears designed to hold this screw but there is no hole for it. Just drill a hole of the appropriate size and insert your screw. I put a spring on the screw to keep tension on it. Then you time your squirt to around one second instead of the stock three plus seconds.

Here's my new headlight. It's an Acerbis Diamond Headlight. I was surfing the Acerbis website and looked at some of the pictures they had of riders and saw this headlight. I went to the dealer and they just happened to receive their new Acerbis catalog while I was there. I told them right then to order me one of these lights. The lights hadn't even been shipped to the U.S. but I had my name on back-order so I received one of the first ones.

Here's a closer view of the headlight.
I was able to move it high enough on
the forks to clear the WER
Steering Damper.

I recently added Air Cell's air chambers to my front forks.

Trick Stuff

Here are some of the things I've created via Redneck Engineering.

Tire Changing Stand

I created this tire changing stand from an old VW Rabbit Pick-Up Truck's spare rim. I took an old piece of hose and split it. I placed the hose around the edge of the rim to protect my motorcycle's wheel from contacting the rim. I used duct tape to secure it. I mounted the rim on some 2X4's so it would be sturdy. I use a bungee cord to steady the motorcycle's wheel while working on it. I just hook it to the spokes of the motorcycle's wheel. Here's a few pictures for you...

Here's a close-up of the mounting
and securing bungee cord.
