You can fit the 525 or 540 piston kit and barrell straight onto the 450 bottom end as they are excactly the same, try a KTM dealer to find out if the numbers on the barrell are relevant to the size. If you wanted to take the 450 barrell out to 525 you would have to bore it then get it re -nikasiled, this would probably cost as much or more than the big bore kit though as you would still need the oversize gaskets ect, one word of warning be very carefull when fitting the oil rings Very brittle.
