[Mxjunkie]

You could maybe do what they do on the east coast yfz's and get beedlocks and have a blue ring on the rear

[BrandonBlackmon]

renthal handlebars:)

[Pvt. Maggot]

I gave him my MSR Dominator handlebars..cr high bend..look awsome..and very comfortable. :) more ideas?

[TheFontMaster]

How about a rear shock revalve? I hear that c&d does good work with the 450r shocks.

[EPDP99]

leave the grafix kit off. If i did mine i just get plastics and keep it clean or go to a sticker shop and have some made. But nothing big.

Oh Ya, ill let you ride mine if you pimp it. HAHA:D :blah:

[the Z Man]

Steering stabilizer for sure, fat bars, they are all good but C and D can get a good deal on Trail Techs X-Bars. Oury has a good grip that helps with fatigue, and nerf bars. Z.
Here is my R I just finished, GO # 6

[honduh440]

i would deffinatly take all the money you would spend on those looks and purchase shocks even if it is works shocks

[Pvt. Maggot]

Well..I would..but it would be kinda pointless..because my brother rides woods..ash dumps..ect..we both jump..and he never bottoms the front shocks..and I have a few times..we both jump it pretty high..but its not in need of anything more then a little more so thats why the 450r shocks are being used..I've herd great things about it...:)

Is anyone running the same motor setup I'm going to be using?..I think it should be a beast when its done. :devil:

[redlined94]

Black rims would look really good with the yellow plastic. maybe race cut the fenders if you are into that. that always ups the looks on 400ex's i think. That motor will be nice, it will have a good powerband and all the goodies.

[LazeR]

Dont have anything to add...Sounds like it will be an awesome quad when its done!

[DEAL]

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT do the porting yourself.

[Pvt. Maggot]

Wasn't planning on doing the porting myself hah..but thats for the tip...Its gonna turn out sweet..I was trying to figure out if I should paint the hubs trans blue or put the black ones on it off my 300ex. lol

:rolleyes: oh brother, so you think since it looks good means it's goin to perform good :huh



porting is just not something for the inexperienced to play around with, matter fact most advice you'll get from the experienced is to pick up a couple of scrap heads to practice on, nice of you to lend him yours, i'm hoping you got a spare since you said old head ;)

yeah its my old one. the one that is on my 426 the guy said it had a "mild" port and polish. I'll post pictures of it when he is done. He did the cylinders on his sled, and they turned out awsome, I believe he knows what he doing;)

[Pvt. Maggot]

Anyway..lol...I need to purchase a new head..because when the motor went kaput the cam journals on the head got screwed lol..so yeah..I'm just gonna buy an already port and polished head :) any other ideas guys?

What color hubs.

New seat cover?

When I polish the oil tank and other little stuff..I'm gonna paint like the cap trans blue..just to offset it a little bit..I think that will look good :)

[UglyMotha™]

how you goin to polish the oil tank, its steel :huh

[Pvt. Maggot]

Um..I'm pretty sure its aluminum?..:confused:

[Pvt. Maggot]

Actually i'm positive that it is aluminum. :)

[UglyMotha™]

so how many polished stock aluminum oil rezzies have you seen

I was watching my 01 GNCCs and i think that Yokley and Page both where running Dominators LMAO!!!!!!!! Actully Yokley broke them!

[redlined94]

Oh everybody lets jump on UglyMotha's back for being wrong. He does it to everyone else and it turns out Mr. Perfect isnt so perfect after all. Doesn't even know the parts on his own quad!! Maybe now he will lay off everyone else for making mistakes.

[markk]

Im not gona lie i thought that it was some sorta steel also! My drain plug broke completly off on mine last year! I thought it was a light/clean steel!

Anyways dont spend time polishing a stock cooler, Buy an aftermaket!

[sampleez]

:huh why buy an aftermarket when it's free to polish the stock one. well, i know it holds a little more oil, but i wouldn't buy one just so you wouldn't have to polish the stock one

[markk]

I agree with u, But oversized coolers even look better i think, H*ll i painted mine the same color as my lower a-arms, and stearing stem, Gloss black!

it's not aluminum :huh

aluminum that thin would crush like a beer can, it's stamped steel

[markk]

I thought it was steel also! U IDIOT! LOL

[Gillbilly]

I dont know but I tried toput a magetic engine heater on my oil res. and it wouldnt stick,steel?

[UglyMotha™]

magnets don't stick to stainless either


there's no way it's aluminum as thin as it is it would flex when you squeezed it

[toby400ex]

U need long travel Axis all around, maybe a 500 stroker, hiper beadlocks would be a nice touch also.

[Gillbilly]

so now its stainless?

[UglyMotha™]

alumiunum :o

[Rico]

It's plastic you idiots....:blah:

[UglyMotha™]

:uhoh: can you polish plastic :huh :blah:

[redlined94]

its probably a aluminum alloy cuz he is right it would crush easy. looks good polished though!!

[Pvt. Maggot]

that motor is sweeetttttttt :eek:

Keep the suggestions comin! :devil:
