I had some down time this spring and spent way to much time in front of a screen. But I found an awesome product for customizing toys! Perfomix makes a product in the states that is called plasti-dip. In stores you can buy red, clear, and black. Its the same stuff on the end of a pair of pliers, in an aero...

I've fitted some risers which also moves the bars are closer still to the rider. Can I reverse the bar mounts to move the bars forwards a smidgen Or is there a reason they're s...

I'm comparing the TTR to the experience I had on a friends KTM 250 which is like a caged animal..So, are all TTR...

I have been in email conversation with Peter Gray of Wilderness Wheels Morocco. They run a small fleet of blue TTRs alongside their KTM 450 EXCs.

After having bash plates on my last 3 bikes I decided it was needed for the green laning on the TTR. I am off on Sunday for a play down the lanes and really needed a decent sump and engine protection so bought the TTR bash plate Brian supplies.

Brian, I think this is a nice idea for a new category here. Maybe some links could be added to some of the "modifcation" content hidden away in other threads? I am a habitual tinker-er & have been wondering about all kinds of add-ons, upgrades, swaps, etc.
