yes the 450 is 238 I cut and pasted and our key board at home needs replaced, made a mistake and pasted the same thing twice apparently. my bad. deleted the 450 since you fixed it. thanks, joe

good news my wife picked up a new keyboard last night. lol. every time I go back and read replies i see about 20 typo's. everyone is probably beginning to think I'm illiterate.

I think the black color scheme would look really good with some red accented graphics. joe

I'm not a fan of the black, but the 22mm offset T-Clamps and dampner are a great addition. The CRF since inception has always needed 22mm offset clamps to make it turn like a suzuki. Now that it's stock, that's great.

After reading about how it works, it's pretty interesting to say the least. I'm sure it would still slow down a tank slapper, so that's good.

ahhh... maybe next year
