| Well once again the project build is complete and stronger than ever. For this year we will be putting our sponsored products to the test to see how lethal the WPSA series will be. I cannot thank the sponsors enough on how they have been committed to us these past few years. We did some minor changes to this years roster of sponsors. However the majority of them are the same as we cannot get any better. One of the most noticeable changes has been switching from the Yamaha to Honda. That was a change that we felt would suit us more for the races to come. So far from the last few test rides that major change has been a great success. The way the Honda handles with the Laeger/Elka combo is unbeatable. Last years build bike didn't even compare. With the Yoshimura, CP Piston, Hotcams power in every spot needed ,it makes the machine a win situation. Not to mention with the great handling and power we had to add some bling. We would like to thank Custom Concepts coatings for their powder coating services. More with the bling we had to add a QuadTech hood to make this machine flow with custom. You bring it and they bling it. Now with all the bling and power we had to add AC Black line bumper, grab bar, and Propegs to protect from injury of other riders.

| Powder Coating-Custom Concepts took care of the smooth slick powder coating for this build. IF you do not know who they are think again. Do you remember the Show Biker Build off on Discovery channel? Well these guys took care of the Detroit Brothers powder coating as well |
| Graphics/Seatcover-The graphics are MX Revolution. Graphics come in custom colors along with your name printed to give your machine a slick custom look. Graphics are $85 shipped to your door. Also be sure to add a grip seat cover QT offers as well. Very strong and durable and color options |
| Quad Tech- With the quad tech carbon fiber hood. Your machine is going to stand out as a eye stopper. These hoods are a direct bolt on with 4 holes to be drilled but no cutting. Very durable and great looking piece to add! |

| Yoshimura-RS7 means getting the maximum power out of our 450R. We were in the hunt for the best. And I mean the best. Yoshimura is the most forward moving company when it comes to getting maximum performance and developing the best! Titanium header and silencer and spark aresstor |
| CP Pistons provided a durable high compression piston. CP Pistons have been around for years and providing top notch performance for all area's of the power sports scene. The quality of this piston is amazing. They offer special coated pistons as well for all models |
| HotCams- For yet another motor combination that was a no brainer. HotCams have been our only motor mod up until this year after taking on CP Pistons. HotCams has a wide range of Durations that have to offer for the performance that you are looking for. High quality and good Performance |
| CHASSIS/SUSPENSION |
| Elka/Laegers- Once again we have added Elka to our program. With such a good result from the past seasons we didn't even consider any other shock absorbers out there. We of course added the Elite setup with their newly added Steering Dampener. Elka has many shock absorbers to fit all riders budgets and abilities. If you ride fast and hard Elka is the way to go! |
| Laegers- This year we wanted to try out Laegers products as they recently added the caster pre set adjustment to their a-arms. So after installing and testing the products I can officially say MXR will only be running these style a-arms. We also added the swingarm and axle that they just released. The axles are a life time warranty and come with a anadized hub like shown. |
| Elka/Laegers- On the rear end of this machine we had to add a Laegers +1" swingarm along with the Elka setup. Like above we added the Elite rear shock and also the dual pro linkage to get the extra travel that is superior when getting maximum performance. Suspension is the most important upgrade you can do to any quad. This is why we did not hold back on Elka as we strive to be the best and you must get the best to be the best! |
| Hiper Wheels- Well to get our machine rolling we had to add some light weight Hiper wheels. On the rear we added the dual 8" bead locks. On the fronts we added their new race wheel which is a 4:1 offset non-beadlock. These wheels are top notch and have a warranty. |
| A Special thanks to our sponsors I would like to thank all of the sponsors once again for providing all their support that they did for this season. It was a good long build that finally came together and turned out to be one of the best quads that I have had my hands on. This year we will be bigger and stronger out on the track. We have good support all over this machine. We have the best after market companies helping us chase the championship. We strive to be the best and you cant be the best unless you get the best! Elka's shocks have been providing us with many wins. Elka is most moving forward shock company on the market. They have so many options for you to choose from. You can be a weekend warrior or a pro, however no matter where you fill in Elka has you covered. I would like to thank Bill Pointer for his awesome custom seat cover and hood. Quad Tech offers the best seat and hoods on the market. This is why factory race teams choose Quad Tech and thats why we looked no further. Hiper helped us get moving with their carbon fiber wheels. Hiper is the only after market carbon fiber wheel company for ATV's. Light weight and yet durable enough for any racer! Yoshimura-rd came on board for a good run this year. Yoshimura is also offering contingency for the WPSA series as well. Yoshimura's RS7 is used by team Suzuki for one reason, to win! With the exhaust we couldn't stop with that much power. We had to ad a CP 13:1 Piston to get the maximum power to pull hole shots. And oh no we didn't stop there. Hot cams had to come in as well for the icing on the cake to once again add their awesome camshaft! I would also like to thank Steve Dotson over at AC Racing for providing black line pro-pegs, bumper, grab bar, and skid plates to protect our machines frame. And lastly Curt over at Custom Concepts for giving us the best powder coating service imaginable. They offer every type of coating that you can think of. Have hundreds of colors to choose from.
