Description
Rebuilding 09-16 Honda CRF 450 R 450cc? The Hot Rods 8682 connecting rod kit is built to OEM specification for that exact application, so nothing has to be adapted to fit.
The connecting rod is the single part that fails loudest. Hot Rods rod kits are built from forged, heat-treated steel with a matched wrist pin, bearing and thrust washers, so the rotating assembly stays balanced instead of the rebuild becoming a mix-and-match of whatever was on the shelf.
- Plain-bearing versions use SAE49 bearing and SAE1010 steel for long service life
- A far cheaper fix than the crank and case damage a failed rod leaves behind
- Proven fitment data — this part number is application specific, not universal
- Forged, heat-treated rod with matched wrist pin, bearing and thrust washers
- Built to OEM dimensions so no case or crank modification is needed
- Includes the most advanced and durable bearings, crank pins and thrust washers available
Ordering the correct part number matters more on engine internals than anywhere else on the machine, which is why this listing is tied to 09-16 Honda CRF 450 R 450cc and nothing else. IPD Racing ships it with tracking so you can plan the build around it.
