So, slow night in a motel - thought I would post some communications from Terry Naughton regarding prices of various 450 options offered there.
Warning - not for the faint of heart, or those with light wallets.
But if you truly want to get serious with your 450, you can't do much better.
Terry won Daytona this year on this stuff, so....
Turn your 450 into a 60 hp brute that will do some serious damage in its class on the track, or rudely awake some crotch rockets on the street.........
