Hey Guys, this is my first post on this site, Iv'e been looking for a crf forum. I am from north GA so not used to the "rockies." Anyways, I have an 06 450x and will be riding the CO 500 this Aug; need to get the bike ready. It currently has a Rev-loc centrifugal clutch, full exh., renthol bars, handguards and a larger rear sproket. Iv'e also got the computer rigged up from a KTM adventure. The ride is on and off road, mainly off. What type of tires would you guys recommend for CO? I also need a larger gas tank, 3.0-3.4gal maybe, ims or clarke tank? Any other mods you guys recommend? Steering damper, etc...? What brand? Thanks.

Knobbies for sure the C500 does a lot of mud and yes to a3.5 gal tank, its a long ride and set your bike up for
high altitude 10 to 12,000 ft several times.

I just pictured a guy sitting in front of his computer with bloodshot eyes, suddenly standing up and doing a victory dance.

" Yes!!! I've finally got my answer..."
