I got a '05 400ex in early october. Love it. I just put on a moose front bumper, ac skid plates, tag handel bars, twin-air foam filter and just bought the Curtis Sparks X-6 full exhaust. No pics yet but when I get the exhaust on, I'll see what she can do.

no, you've just went over the handle bars one too many times, its 99-04 body style all the way ;)


seriously though, i think its apples and oranges. and i think it comes down to like it or not, no real inbetween. some see it looking like the 450R but i see those awkward shaped headlights.

great bikes either way....... even if mine looks better :devil: :blah: ;)

The headlights are the only thing thats the same, the seat, rear fender and front fenders are different. But like you said its apples & oranges. I definitily love the reverse!

The 05 plastic is the same as prevous with the headlights cut out and a hood on it!

Well all ya gotta do is cut the headlights out and put on a 05 hood and get the headlight for underneath and you got a 05 400ex. well other than the reverse and LED tail light:D

Anyone else know if that is correct? I was just looking at a pic of an 05 and I think he is right.

From looking at the other thread the 05 400ex the front plastic is 2 piece I think they must have cut the mold or something in half and cut out the light part to save money. Its really expensive to make plastic molds. But it looks like there is a lot of brackets to hold the plastic light and hood together.

blackstranger did you just get the 7/8s tag bars or did you relocate your key and lights?

i think i like the 99-04 plastic better, i also heard the lights on the 450R and, guessing the 05'400 are not very good

xrkiller - I haven't relocated my switch yet, with my new bars the plastic will pop on but isn't really on that great. It is very loose because the stock bars have a screw to keep it on there and the aftermarket bars do not. What I am gonna do is relocate my switch and lighs to the side and use a bar pad to cover the clamps. It will look a whole lot better this way, once I take the time to do it.

I ride with a guy thats got a 05 ex and he dont even use the revese on it, when he was 2 back up he just gets off of it and pushes it. he said that the reverse on it is useless cause it goes 2 fast in reverse. he said hes gonna trade it into a 04 lol.
