Yea Tim your in need of a longer stem the stocker don't cut it when you have a IMS tank on. I should know my stock stem was bent a a bit and it put in two nice gouges in my $200 tank, really ticked me off.

If you don't want to spend $200 and up on a stem might I suggest the ROX handle bar risers they work great and they are cheaper too.

I love my Roll Design stem expensive as hell but it works great.

[tim colston]

thanks for the info. Chino886 gave me a hella deal on a +1. Do you have a pic of your rox risers on your bike Honda#4 ?

[Honda#4]

NO NO, I don't have them on my bike I was only suggesting them to you. Sorry I do have a pic of my +1 stem with my IMS tank on if you would like to see that?

[tim colston]

Yeah i'd like to check it out.

[Honda#4]

Here you go Tim. Not to bad for a $350 stem plus $82 for the clamps HUH.

[Honda#4]

last one

[tim colston]

I do like the stem and the risers. It is incredible what these companies get for parts isn't it.

Lookin good

[Honda#4]

Yea it sure is. I have over 3 grand in my bike and you can't even notice it and I never even touched the motor yet or suspension, well except for the swingarm.

[TRFOXX]

Looking good TO! I spotted my cooler in one of those pics when did you snag that from me? :D

[latheboy]

Looks great! One question... Why didnt you paint the rear subframe?

[tim colston]

I did do the subframe it is a silver hammertone. It looks like the stock paint.

[Joe400ex]

cmon man lets see some more pics:devil: :devil:

[foxplaya4life33]

what did you do to your a arms

did you spray paint them?

[tim colston]

I rhino coated the a arms. I hope it holds up. I have a arm guards so I really just did it for astectic (sp) purposes.

Yes loctite is your friend.

[Ebrown]

looks good

[kalebarellano]

I have my 400ex tore down right now. Engine rebuild, frame paint, Engine polish and maybe paint. I'll get you all some pics later. But what all should be lock tighted at re-assembly?

I used loc tite on about everything mounting wise. I also used never sease (sp) on some parts like my nerf bolts and such.

[kalebarellano]

What about swingarm, shock, and linkage? Obviously not in the bearing but on the threads?

[tim colston]

Loctite all of those imo. those are def. nuts you don't want coming off from vibration.

[tim colston]

Here it is about 95% done. I have yet to put on the pegs nerfs grabbar or bumper.

[tim colston]

thanks again chino 886 for the quick dealings on the stem.

[BigFish]

Looks good;)

[kalebarellano]

Ya, I guess it wouldn't be good for those bolts to rattle out. I will locktite all my stuff on reassembly. Which is getting pushed back cause my parts are taking forever to get here and when they do get here I am going on vacation. But at least when I get back I will have everything and can get back to work.

What did you use to paint your rims? That looks really good.

Thanks,
Kaleb

[tim colston]

I actually used a form of rhino coat bed liner. I am not sure how well they will hold up. I may end up having to powder coat them.

[kalebarellano]

Does it seem like it bonded ok? I really like black rims. I will probably do something like this, or pc in the future. How did you prep the rims? Sandblaster? Paint Etcher?

[kalebarellano]

Hey, hows that rhino lining holding up on your rims?

Thanks

[tim colston]

I will have my first shakedown ride this friday. I don;t have any good info for you yet on the durability.

[kalebarellano]

Hey how did the rhino lining hold up?

[tim colston]

It seems to hold up well. I really need to take it out and run it hard through the woods. the freaking weather will not cooperate with me so I am just waiting for a day to go.
