So I picked up a 15 KTM 450 XCF with a recluse on it. and put money down on 16 timbersled LT kit for when it shows up. Looking for advice on stuff to do to it before the snow flies and be ready to hit the snow.

If you do a TSS the hacked box is a must, easiest way is to take out the factory boot and cut most of the airbox way. Then you can just run the pod filter and prefilter that TS provides with their kits. As rush mentioned, just get a spare airbox/number plate assembly. Its kinda lame to swap over but then you have the best of both worlds for snow and then stock for dirt.What about a Tstat. Or do you have to chop up the air box or anything along those lines
You can chop the box or you can do an intake boot and filter... either way you are going to want to modify it a bit. I'm a fan of hacking the box since the KTM part to replace it is only $45ish. I have one for summer and one for winter and just swap boxes during the change over. Hack out the bottom of the box so the snow falls out and run the pre-filter without the foam.
Tstat is a very good addition along with a temp gauge. The one I like the best so far is the Thermobob TB3 w/ temp gauge threaded insert. Runs about $140. Only run it in the winter and make sure you take it off for summer riding.
