ive been thinking of doing a 400ex build so i need suggestions. i want to keep the overall build cost as low as possible but i want to use good quality parts. i ride mostly trails some muddy rocky technical spots and i love to jump. so here are some of the things i was thinking of.
cheap starter bike that still runs, new suspension: new a-arms and front shocks probably works or elka probably revalved 450r shock for the back, deffinately full chassis skids, depending on motor condition bigger bore size but probably not as big as 440 cause i still want really reliable, maybe maxis razor 2's all the way around....
should i be looking at a steering stabilizer to?
what do you guys suggest i do, where should i start, is there a good year to do this kind of thing with? just throwing around ideas to see what people come up with. pics of bikes are nice to if you've done somehting like this.
