it's got a DG xcellrator muffler on it so i'd assume it's a DG pipe as well. i bought it with the exhaust on it. i have noticed that it's different than most others because the head pipe goes in front of the frame down tube and most of them turn between the frame and engine. whatever's clever.....it works.
Thanks for the comments.

Looks good, what all did you have to do to make the 400 plastic fit?

The 400 front fenders didn't quite fit the front bracing, but you can bend the steel bracing out by hand about an inch to make it so it's supported good and the rear fit perfect, and a 400 seat is required.

i have two new tires for the rear, waiting to be installed, Those "slicks" on the back are pretty fun to slide around on.

is there anything else that you did to your bike to make the 400 plastics fit. and what other mods have you done for your bike. i have a 300 that i wanna do the same thing to cause i stripped it all down sandblested it and painted it but my plastics are gone to s**t and they are a lot more expensive than 400 plastics. thanks

i didn't really have any major problems installing the 400 plastic. the front could of been ziptied and done with, but i bent the front support rods a little to make them line up better and every thing looks factory.
i've got a set of red fullbore plastics for a 400ex for sale in the sale forum if anyone is interested. I bid on them early and forgot that i bid on them on ebay and bought the current set in the meantime so i'm stuck with two sets.....just looking to get about what i paid for 'em.
