About the Build.
The Spare Parts project was born out of a desire to clean out the Workshop at Deus Emporium of Post Modern Activities in Venice, CA. Deus ambassadors and resident builders Forrest Minchinton and Ciaran Naran have spent the better parts of their lives racing dirt bikes and most recently contesting the SCORE World Desert Championship full time as the Deus racing team in the Pro Motorcycle Unlimited class.
Featuring a heavily modified engine, upgraded suspension, and a host of high-performance components from top brands like AHM Factory Services, Boyko Racing, and Baja Designs, this CRF450X is ready to tackle the toughest terrain. Its stripped-down, race-ready aesthetic and powerful performance make it a true desert machine.
