Looks awesome, Troy!
What is the Rockstar catch can for: coolant overflow or something else? I can't believe that placement is the best location for it. Looks to me like that would be the first point of impact on the left side of the bike.

Yeah "ghetto" overflow.
Not normally used, and it was last minute as hell....just a drink can, a washer and a connector with some pipe clamps, but I wasn't sure how picky these guys would be. NESBA makes you use a catch. Got the idea from a control rider at NESBA when I did patriot (see same location on his Kawi) I figured as long as I passed tech it could come off later

If it is just a catch can it's no big deal, as it shouldn't have much in it.
I was thinking of the bottle being half full in the event of a left sided drop.

I was in love with the idea of a YZ450 turned Formula 450 Roadracer, just too expensive however this looks promising...Can you walk me thru the process?
Just get some 17 in rims and add a gearing and a catch can? How 'spensive are the rims? I dont have to ask if it is fun, just how can I get into it!

Supermotojunkie.com is your friend!!!
I was looking at the YZ myself, but found a great deal on this RMZ. I was going to buy this one: http://www.supermotojunkie.com/showt...uot-woods-bike But had a guy call ME about the one I have now. Couldn't pass it up. The right bike, and then a set of wheels. Best bet is to lurk on SMJ and find a used set. Normally a good set can be had for $500-$800 I got mine with slicks mounted for $875 Then you get a rotor from Motostrano: brake rotor and a Braking brand caliper bracket: bracket to upgrade the brakes (you're doing 100mph now...you need to STOP!!!!) and you're pretty set to START. I plan to upgrade to the brembo MC & caliper eventually, but this worked VERY well this weekend. I had NO trouble pulling a 600 (even being as big as I am) up to 80mph.....it was about 85-on when they'd walk me like a mutant puppy But on the tighter more technical tracks (Patriot...etc) there is no chance in hell they can catch you. Even on my 660 MZ motard (which I now know was slow as HELL compared to a 450 that's 1/2 the weight and almost twice the HP) I was cleaning house at patriot. I can't WAIT to hit it with this sucker!
