You have an idea on what the total damage to the wallet is for the swap out??
I do know that there is some fabricating and welding of braces--no problem..

Looks nice!!

$226.45 but he was able to buy a used headlight of a 450R. The headlights are the same so to buy a used one saves you from spending around 200 for the light itself.

No offense, but it looks like something Ronald McDonald would ride.

I had to use my plastic for a mock up. Since his parts won't be in till next week, I wanted to get his brackets and wire harness moved and ready for when his parts came in. That way there's little down time on switching over.

How much was just the front fenders? I had looked at Service Honda for part numbers but they didn't have the 05 stuff posted yet. Will the 05 400 plastic bolt up to the 04 and older models? I would like to just get the fenders and use a carbon hood without the lights.

Do you think maier or fullbore will come out with the new style front fender for the 400ex. Change the look maybe on the racing fender to look more like the 450 aftermarket stuff.

If you like the 05 400ex do not read the rest. Hopefully the people reading this message are as hardcore about the 400ex as i am. I hate the 05 400ex and think it is a disgrace to the round headlighted 400s. To me the 05 400 looks like a midget 450. Personally it is not the look for me and i would not recommend to switch the fenders. On a positive note i do like the new colors honda came out with i am gonna try to get 04 fenders in a black. If any one knows where to get some at resonable price send me something.

Maier will definitely have the 05 plastic at some point. They may have already for all I know. I just really like how the 400 is so affordable. You can get the whole set for about $150. That's why I was interested in when places like Service honda would have the 05 available. Hopefully the 05 EX will continue with affordable prices.

maier doesn't make anything yet for the 05. It will be late this year before anything is available. Also on the 05 400ex fenders. The right side is on backorder from honda and they have no release date available yet. Both colors are backordered. The only way to get the right fender is to get one off a new bike, notice anybody selling them, has the factory sticker's on them. Even the factory sticker kits are unavailable at this time. They said late Feb. possible for a tentativre date but would not guarantee it. I've been waiting for a month now for the right fender. Everything else is available, though some of the parts might take a little longer than others.
