Not too long ago we posted the start of Brendan Rice’s CRF moto450 build here, fast forward a few months and its done . During those months in addition to what you’ve seen before Brendan manufactured a new top yoke and designed a new rear linkage set up to get the progression ratio sensible for a road race bike, which also means you can use the correct springs for your weight without compromising the suspension set up with the motocross set up. There is also an extension piece to the Ohlins shock to get the correct attitude of the bike, this is also adjustable.
