i was gonna go with all black plastic and have a white background on the graphics but i went with black front and kept my red rear and got the graphics with the red background, i still got some other goodies to put on here when i get the right tools..

what do ya think?

like this? ill take as many pics as yall want if you wouldn't mind givng me a fair chance in the october QFTM, Im only 17 and worked and ive payed for every last part on this including buying it 3 years ago, it would be nice to be given a fiar chance because its not a new 450 build up

and btw i havent gotten into the motor yet becasue i still havent decided what i want to do either stroker? or hybrid? ill have 2400 by januarybut i think thats cutting it close for a hybrid

very nice!!!!

i would do a hybrid, but a stoker is almost as good. either way u will still drop a pretty good chunk of dough.

i like it alot. i am really diggin the whole 2 color thing, i did yellow fronts with black rears on my 400 and am gonna get the akraix graphics to bring it all together if i keep my quad.

as for teh motor, I think either way you go you will be happy. I have ridden a yzf426 hybrid in a 400ex frame and it was wicked, but my buddies 460 stroker 400ex is one of the baddest quads i have ever thrown a leg over.

PC the frame black and that thing will be awesome. Looks good now though, but the white frame is kind of distracting to me. Either way nice bike.

WHY ???? everyone says this those are Renthal Atv highs i just took the cross bar and pad off so i can get my feet through there easier for tricks:ermm: does it really look that bad??

and as for the frame beign white, thats not all that'll be white before too long...i know its kinda lame but my 3 favorite colors are Red, Black, and White if that maeks any sense now

this is most of the action it sees, and I race this little track about an hour from here thats xc and tt all in one thats pretty fun, but mosty just romping around here and any jump i can find

i think ive deicde to go with a stroker but instead of the 87mm bore ill go with a 88mm bore (426) with a big bore sleeve and 11:1 compression for reliability and then add the powroll +4mm stroker crank w/ their tough rod (that would make it a 452 ??), sparks cam, new valve springs, 04-05 450r carb, new valves and hard welded rockers if needed

that should make for a nice STRONG motor. i mean it doesnt have to beat the 450s jsut keep up ill do the rest

and here Tman through the bars, saran wrap

nice air, i would love to do that. and the 426 and 4mm stroker crank will make ur bike a 460. hot rods sells a kit that comes complete with everything but the cam(don't quote me on this)

nope sorry a 440 (89mm) and the +4 stroker is a 460-465 what ever you wanna call it, the 88mm bore is only in the 450s barely:o and besides powroll's kit is much better than the hotrods due to the fact you dont have to machine the cases ANY

as far as reliabiltity they'll be about the same yuo have to adjust the bike motors valves more often, and the stroker would be less compression plus i have an oversize oil tank and secondary cooler for my motor now so theyre about the same
