I wouldn't stress - people are doofuses about overtightening pinch bolts and trying to bend straight crashed stuff rather than replace it. It's just a chunk of billet with a bar through it. I replaced the ones on the Duc because the OEM ones broke.
I've got a right old throb on for a CRF450X now....but I reeeeeally don't want to sell my XR. Not sure I can justify both...and it's a beast finding good Xs that are street legal, which I definitely want. I should probably just ride what I have and shut up.
What year are you looking at? I'd hazard a guess that it might perform better being EFI, but possibly not as special? I can't imagine the big red pig is any different, but the 450L is very well put together.
