Husky FC450 What do I need?

[cek]

Just picked up a '16 Husky FC450. Going to run it as a snow bike exclusively. What are the must haves?. Already has the rekluse, so what else do I need to make it right? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a new 16 SXF450, pretty much the same bike. Also setting it up as a snow bike only.

*I installed a Rekluse clutch.

*Hour meter if it does not have one for maintenance intervals. I am using Trail Techs Voyager for a few extra functions including GPS

*Thermobob - easy install, helps keep engine temp up. It has a port for a temp gauge (also recommended)

*Fastway Hand guards

Fastway footpegs - Although the stock ones are good

Handlebar risers depending on riding preference.

*AME Heated grips - Might need to upgrade stator if I use those a lot.

LED lights - Again might need to upgrade stator

*P3 carbon heat shield fits well and saves burning your high dollar gear.

*P3 carbon skid plate - more of a belly pan idea

Air pre filter if using the stock airbox setup

*Fork springs and revalve

Engine shielding - keep some heat in. Not sure if I like what is available right now.

The ones with stars* I have done. The others I might wait on. A lot of other things you can do, this is just my build as of now.

The thermobob and stiffer fork springs I would do first!

Share what you do and how it works.

The bike will work stock!
And wow is it fun in the dirt. Love that 450!

Thank you for the info. That really helps. I'll post up what I get done

I have an fc450 as well. Can't really think at anything more than Excaliber posted. They maybe aren't all "must haves", but make it a really killer snow bike

Def kicking the idea to sell my pro and build a fc450 snowbike. Hate to sell the sled but im thinkin tech tree riding with this bike is going to be a riot! How well has the fc450s been holding after a season of riding?
