I opted for 50cm there is a 55cm and smaller 45cm/40cm/35cm. (2" increments)

Kept it clear but it also comes in smoke black

With the high rally seat and upright sitting position I think it will do well at highway speed. It is also wider than stock...

Still have the 5cm of screen knob adjustment.

Will be taking a ride to the auto parts store to collect some oil filters as the 1st service is getting close.

would also like to mention my 1st (-) negative gripe with the bike and that would be the size of the horn button (huge) and position of the highbeam flick switch.

would accidentally hit them trying to cancel indicators or move clutch finger..I had to drill another locating hole in the bar to clock the switch block in an attempt to prevent this from happening. Also I might add grip puppies and my hand grasp seems tight and cramps.

Do you mind sharing the oil filter numbers with us? Thanks.

I wrote down the CFMoto oil filter part number somewhere, but it was so long I gave up on it.

After searching and comparing prices the KN-177 is a suggested alternative and I could find it cheaper and readily available...I grabbed 2 on sale saving a few more $.

Made in Thailand, has a nut for easy turning which is a bonus.

I don't think quality could be any worse than OEM.

Have a full fuel tank to get through before I hit first service though.

XLsior, I really appreciate your information. I'm currently waiting to return to my home and pickup my MT from the dealer the first week in April. Please keep the information and experiences coming. Happy trails.

I'm preoccupied now with securing property and preparing for a cyclone (hurricane/typhoon) named Alfred to hit my location, so not much riding planned for the current week.

So far I'm very happy with the MT450. But its definitely not a dualsport or a city/urban commuter.
