just got done

[Honda#4]

i know u guys r gonna say its a waste of my time but i though id post a pic of my painted handlebars.

[Trevor]

Looks fine and I am a fan of the free mods. I may be puttin a cross bar and pad on my stock bars.

[Honda#4]

how would u do that and post some pics when u get done.

[RaptorRacer45]

Looks good....but Id lower your Handguards alittle bit, they wont do much good that high:D

[Honda#4]

i cant cus of clearence issues when u look at it from the front the left one hits the brake handle but i kind of solved that cus i have to move it over for the new stem and the other one hits the clutch handle so i dont know what to do i can move them down alittle bit but thats all btw when i bought the handguards i bought the snowmobile ones cus they didnt have the atv ones so the left bracket is a straight and not curved.

[RaptorRacer45]

O Ok.....O Well, the bars do look good though, that what this topics on anyway:macho

how do you reach your front brake? it seems like it is on the wrong side of the handguard

Just from that pic alone I see some pretty expensive parts on that thing, and your running stock bars?

Also just buy the atv mounting kit for those guards, it cant be more than $20.

i bought my handguards at fleet farm for $50 the brackets were $20 i think i cant get the atv brackets cus they dont have the powermadd brand no more instead they have a cheap plastic version of it.yea i do got some expensive stuff on there so far i spent a little over $2000 on everything what can i say i love money. in my checkbook ive never written a check for less than $100 .

I don't like the red/yellow combo. not be an *** i just figured I'd share my thoughts

[Honda#4]

i understand, not everybody likes everyones ideas but im a fan of the red and yellow 400's .the point is that i have a hobby that i like and thats what makes me happy and nobody can take that away from me.

Your paint job looks good.
I have those handguards and have used the kit from denniskirk with great success.

I just had to cut the tab off the throttle control to allow for enough space.

Hope this helps.

if you read the directions, they say to cut that tab off.

how do you grab the front brake?

[Honda#4]

You can get powermadd atv mount kits from any atv shop almost. Front brakes are the most important brakes. Pro racers will tell you without front brakes they almost can't finish the race but they can do fine without back brakes.

[Honda#4]

what do u mean by cant finish a race without them whats so geat about them im just asking not yelling.

[EXevan91]

they are your braking power they are more pwerful than the back

[Honda#4]

o i see i guess i'll leave them on then.
