Check out ATV Scene.com’s Project XC450R - 5/07

Recently, sponsored rider Chris Earlywine tested Durablue’s X-33 for ATV Scene.com’s Project XC450R. Here’s what ATV Scene.com had to say regarding the Durablue X-33 axle:

To widen the rear of our machine Chris Earlywine insisted that we use a DuraBlue X-33 axle. While he allowed us to pick and choose components at random for his machine, this is one component that he insisted on. The DuraBlue X33 features a pin drive system instead of the standard splined axle and hub setup. After a while, the splines begin to crush allowing for imperfect fit between the axle and the hubs causing wobble. With the X-33 the hubs slide onto the end of the axle and are held in place by a pin that runs through the hub and the axle where they are bolted together. There are no splines to crush so the X-33 provides a wobble free operation for life.

Furthering the strength of this axle is the fact that it does not taper down where the hub attaches. Where the axle tapers down to the smallest diameter is where it is the weakest, thus that’s where most axles bend. With its constant diameter, the X-33 has no inherently weak point. No it's not indestructible, but it is quite strong.

Front Lowering kit for the Honda 450R (04) 20-1008
Due to changes by Honda there may be an issue with the lowering kit not fitting correctly. Honda has changed its front shocks so that there are two small cylinders protruding from the bottom shaft of the shock. These small cylinders interfere with the lowering kit and may cause the shaft of the shock to bend. The problem is due to changes by Honda! The lowering kits were designed correctly when Honda first came out with the 450 R. Durablue is not responsible for replacing bent shocks. Please be assured that all the current kits that are being shipped from Durablue have been re-designed and fit the new Honda configuration.

Solution: If you have the right tooling you can cut a notch in the lowering kit to make room for the shocks protruding cylinders. You may also return the lowering kit to Durablue for a replacement. We will pay return shipping only.


We have gotten fantastic feedback on our new stickers! We've sent out hundreds of free stickers to those of you that requested them through this website. Thanks for all your comments and feedback. We will have the larger trailer stickers available by October 20th!. Except for the size the trailer stickers are identical to the smaller ones. The new trailer stickers measure 17" in length.

I need your help!
I am in the process of rewriting some of the instruction sheets for the lowering kits and the sway bars. While the written part of the instructions are good the graphics could be better and it would help everyone in understanding the written part, especially if your trying to do an install. If any of you have digital pictures of the Durablue Sway Bar and any of the Durablue lowering kits please E-mail them to me through this web-site. Att: Tom. Send your E-mail through sales not tech support . Please let me know what year and which quad you have. If you would like credit for your photo contribution let me know. Please give us permission to use your photo for our instruction sheets. Thanks for your help. Tom in technical support.


We have decided to upgrade our stickers to what you see below. The new stickers will appear on all our axles starting in about a week. We had recently done a sticker upgrade but we where not happy with the results so we're making some changes, hopefully for the better. Many of you have requested stickers through our E-mail system. Any of you who would like free stickers can E-mail your request and we will be happy to send you some, free of charge. We hope you like the new stickers!

Honda TRX 450R

General Notes: Remove brake caliper and zip tie to upper frame to get caliper out of the way. Remove tires and wheel hubs. Stock posi-lock has reverse threads! Use large crescent wrench, pipe wrenches can warp or damage posi-lock nuts! Loosen jam nut and compress posi-lock to expose snap ring. Remove snap ring. There's no master link on the chain. Remove all 4 sprocket hub bolts to get chain loose. Axle slides out to the left, brake hub should slide out easily. Reverse install.
