Works Chassis Lab Engine Mounts (2023 KTM 450 SX-F)

There are a couple companies out there producing engine mounts these days and while I stand by my claim that some bikes DO NOT need aftermarket engine mounts some bikes/models could benefit from a softer feeling mount. I have come to find out that one of those bikes is the 2023 KTM 450 SX-F. I…

Pro Circuit Ti-6 Muffler System (2023 Gas Gas MC350)

Some muffler questions that get sent to my email inbox usually look like, “which muffler is best for my bike? Is a full system worth the money or can I just get away with purchasing a slip on”? “Is my stock muffler the best muffler option for me”? Instead of trying to keep answering some…

Works Connection Offset Titanium Footpeg Mounts (Yamaha YZ250/450F)

If there is something I can’t stand on the 2022 and earlier Yamaha YZ250/450F's is the rider triangle. It is cramped, my legs feel high up when seated and the seat feels like I am sitting in a valley. I have tried several different offset pegs as well as tall seats and different spec bars.…
