[NeverLiftRacing]

hey man have fun with the winter makeover. last year i did my girlfriends quad and it was a total blast. first quad i ever tore completely down. it really paid off when it won april's qotm for blingstar. we had every part torn off that thing and all the bolts were in a labled flat style tackle box with dividers, which really made it easy to put it back together. here are some before and after pics

[NeverLiftRacing]

before...

[NeverLiftRacing]

after...

[400exrapes]

I dont want this thread to die so im going to post. I'm interested in your rebuild so post alot of pictures for us all please and also i think maybe some red laker custom or maier or fullbore plastics/fenders would like nice too with the rest of your future mods.

[Pipeless416]

rebuilding is probably one of my favorite parts of quad riding. there is nothing better than tearing down something thats used looking and giving it a fresh look. ive done mine and i recently rebuilt my brothers. heres a pic of it in the works. keep us updated on yours! i love these threads.

[NeverLiftRacing]

looks great pipeless... needs black nerfs and bumper

[Pipeless416]

eh hes on a budget lol. the nerfs came before i rebuilt it and hes happy with how it came out so it works for him haha.

[NeverLiftRacing]

hell yeah bro i hear ya. what color fenders did you put back on it?

[Pipeless416]

stock reds but theres some silver maier race cuts in the mail. we found some front plastics, now we just need to find the rears.

[honda_runner]

I might be on a budget, but Im not cheap when it comes to buyin parts. Im gonna go with a stock look, so im gonna use 2007 red 400ex plastics. All I need to do is weld 2 tabs in the front of the frame.

I put 07 plastic on my 2000 and didn't have to do any welding. But i guess you could I just drilled 2 holes like the 07 has it mounted. Also save your money and headaches on the aftermarket air box. Stock is the best!

Yeah im planning on revalving 450-r shocks for the front, and also revalve the rear stock one, unless i can find a deal somewhere.

[honda_runner]

[honda8&3]

Looking cool dude.;) :cool:

[nick249420]

i plan on ripping mine down soon mabey winter 08
only thing i worrie about is the whole wiring harnest
i dont wanna mess that up

[Ruby Soho]

the wiring harness is easy, just label each end of the cable that you unplug that way you can match them back up and your set. a manual will have a wiring diagram too, thats a plus.


btw your build is coming along great!

[nick249420]

what do you think the hardest part of rebuilding the entire quad is

[honda_runner]

The only thing that scares me is the jetting. My buddy blew his 450r motor after rejetting wrong, so thats all i worry about.

[Ruby Soho]

well if the jetting is wreong youll notice it soon.. just dont run it long if its jetted wrong.

my buddy ran his unjetted mojave for like 2 months, nothing happened im suprised

[Pipeless416]

Originally posted by nick249420

i find actually reattaching the wiring harness the hardest. not actually plugging everything in, but the zip ties and such haha. the best advice i can give is to take a lot of pictures from different viewpoints of anything you think could confuse you while reassembling. pictures of how to route the wires will be your best friend.

I don't know about ya'llz but my wife would kick my billy balls in if I was dumping quad parts in the kitchen! :o

Nice pics btw, keep us posted!

[ohioEX]

I would recommend guseseting thr frame while it is apart. I had broke a frame near the upper shocks mounts. If the quad is going to see a lot of air or the MX track, it would be a great investment. My 2 cents.

u know, i was thinking about it, but it wasn't in the plans to gusset the frame, and at this point I don't have the time to do it, plus im gonna be doing a lot of woods riding, noting crazy, I don't do MX.

It was too cold to work on it in the garage, so I brought it in. haha

[Ruby Soho]

i know the feeling.. the worst part is theres a wood stove in my garage but we need to wait till the garage doors are put in before we start using it..:grr:

...I'm still getting around to building my double drum stove... So right now I have a 60,000 BTU redi-heater. It works okay, but only if you point it right at you... Oh well... Lets hope for some snow, lots of it, then we can make snow jumps! :devil:

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd272/glockphoto/DSC_6105.jpg

[honda_runner]

here are the 2 brackets i had to weld to the frame to make the conversion, as of now, the frame is in process of getting powdercoated. And i know its taking forever but the holiday season kinda slowed this build down.

Im planning on finishing this around end of March '08 if everything goes good. :)

[honda_runner]

Omg! I was about to pick up the frame from powdercoating, and that day i lost my wallet, with 200 bucks in there, so now low on money... :(

looks like next week, i'll have some new pics!

["THE ShoP"]

if u wanna shine up the headlight and take out the scratches use a buffing compound works great.

man that sux about your wallet too:(

[Honda#4]

Everything is looking great, what color is the frame gonna be?

[honda_runner]

what do u guys think so far?

Im also trying to decide what color the oil tank should be.

semi gloss black, or dark gray?

[Ruby Soho]

im LOVING it.

def. gloss black on the tank

[BigBore24]

that thing looks sweet, very good work on the build, you have a lot more patience than me, id b wanting to slam that thing back together to go riding. How much did it cost to sandblast the frame if you dont mind me asking? did you take it to a body shop or something? keep up the good work. im with ruby on the oil tank I like the black and red together. btw Ruby have you got to ride your quad much since you got her all done...pleased?

Thanx! I guess I do have paitience.. LOKO Performance Powedercoating sand blasted the frame, and powdercoated it, along with the swingarm, motor head, and 4 misc parts, all for five bills. For the price, they did an outstanding job!

I would like black on the oil tank but i hate how black shows all the dirt so im still debating.....thanx for the input guys

[STUNTIN400EX]

you pc guy did a great job on your parts, and at a very reasonable price as well. it should look really good once you've got everything back together! congrats!!!!!!!!!:blah:

[Brauap]

Wow, that a nice camra (and dog..) lol

I cant wait to se that motor all together!!

[dabrowat]

I see you've got a Tacoma. How u like it? Im planning to get one and I just wanted to know how it is. Which trim do you have. I live in Chicago, and I was wondering if you use 4wd alot on the street. Do you haul with the tacoma? Thanks

I love the Taco! with rear locking diffs, it goes through a lot! Toyota put a real nice suspension on it (TRD edition). Its also the Crew cab i think its called, where the rear door open the opposite way. I don't use 4wd on the street, not neccesary. and I don't haul anything with it... yet! haha

[dirtbike34j]

sick 400ex i am going to do that to mine next winter because i'm doing my ktm 85cc right now but i get all my powercoating done for free because my uncle does its good for me because i'm only 15 :)

[honda_runner]

Update!!! I ended up buying the CFM airbox, and I do like overall, but it needs some mods, if I want it be perfect.

[honda_runner]

I can probably get away with just zip tieing the brackets to the frame, but im gonna make it a little more durable than that.

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd272/glockphoto/DSC_9452.jpg

[honda_runner]

Another thing is that I gotta drip a hole for the (back) bracket on the airbox, not a big deal, but the right side of the airbox is touching the frame, which will eventually create rust in that spot on the frame.... i gotta move the airbox over somehow...

I don't have reverse.. so I put my ignition key here! I think its a good spot!


http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd272/glockphoto/DSC_9817.jpg

[400exrapes]

lmao i love the reverse/ignition key spot if you ever got pulled over by a police officer and he wants you to take the key out and you could say i have none, if he asks what is that next where ur reverse is you can say thats the reverse button... maybe im the only semi-immature one on the thread though..

[austin20]

or instead of pulling over you could justRUN!!!! :devil:
lmao

[400exrapes]

lmao those pictures didnt work im sure it was funny... try again

[honda_runner]

Originally posted by 400exrapes

He was just trying to made the word "RUN" bigger, if we're talking about the same thing....

anyway, I agree about the cop thing, I got pulled over like 3 times, ran like a **** load, but they never told me to hang over the keys, usually i just gotta push it home. haha cops suck!

[450R#72]

i got a cool cop once he asked for the key and realized i had no way home, so he asked how far my house was i told him a ways a way and no one i knew was even home let alone could pick me up.. so he was like well take the key and just stay off the main road and let me ride home on the road.. not bad

[450R#72]

sorry this is 400exrapes but i forgot i was on a friends name...

haha! yea good one! cops are just dump!

[Brauap]

They call what we ride for a reason. ATV.. whats that mean, you ask?! All Terrain Vehicle.. well whats that mean.. It can go on all types of terrain, like through woods (where a car can't go) up hills (where a car can't go) Through mud (where a car cant go) Over bumps (where a car cant go) get my point? If a cop is chassing me, there is not a 1/1,000,000 chance that I will stop. Its called an ATV, therefore I will use every part of it. lol


Good-Luck all you nasty cops on here!


Muhahaha!!!

Good-Luck all you nasty cops on here!


Muhahaha!!!

you can't outrun a radio. Especially with a hotwheels. And your going to have to go home sometime and they might just be waiting for you in your driveway.

Just make sure you get home, hide the quad, and change fast. Around here they have dirtbikes and planes...have fun outrunning those.

[400exrapes]

we've had a few semi-serious helicopters hovering in our yards before we went riding so we decided not to go that day... sometiems getting away they do wait at your house as i know a few friends whove had that happen... but w.e no problems once i start mx'ing and anyways lets see some more pics of the build!

[dirtbike34j]

all the cops around my area are cool like a few mounths ago it was snowing so i had my quad out and was just screwing around and my brother had his snowmobiel out and my other friend had his quad out and we were all riding the roads but any way the cop pulls up and says what kind is that and i said a 400ex and he was like cool and we were talking and it ended up being that his son raced quads in district 6 like me and he was cool so not all cops are mean

just some lol :D

Muhahaha!!!

down here in Florida man they have helicopters out like crazy. Someone robs a store or breaks out of jail or runs from the cops there will be a helicopter on you so quick its crazy. Just today i saw a helicpter fly over me chasing a guy who robbed a store. Oh and theres another thing called the "SWIFT MUD" which if you are riding on land not yours they are out there chasing you in F150's and they DO call ahead to have police waiting for you. Cops down here dont mess around with anything. I've only know 2 people that have outran the cops/helicopter. On quads or street bikes they have gotten away a few times. And if you think about they wont catch you at night, down here they use infared so theres no hiding yourself or especially something with an engine thats hot. My friend ran so many times he knew that there was a light that goes on, on the helicopter and thats when their using infared. But he ran risking his life if he had too because he would have gone to jail for some other things. He managed running from the law for 3 years before getting caught and put in the slammer.

[honda_runner]

Well, heres what I did over easter weekend...

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd272/glockphoto/DSC_9830.jpg

After heating this thing up, I finally managed to pound out the bearings (what a pain in the *****)

[honda_runner]

Then I repacked the Pro-Circuit exhaust....

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd272/glockphoto/DSC_9831.jpg

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd272/glockphoto/DSC_9836.jpg

I drilled out the rivets that held that pro-circuit tag, and now it looks kinda crappy, but it has to do for now.... Im just sick of this exhaust.

[honda_runner]

The swingarm is slowly coming together, Now im just waiting on some money to get the lonestar axle. (damn this is becoming a money pit)

I seriously wish you would run, than you'd get caught, get your quad taken away and we wouldn't have to deal with your ridiculous posts like the one you posted here.

Grow up and ride where you are allowed. This isn't Dukes of Hazzard! No wonder legal riding areas are deminishing.

first of all the quad looks sick i cant wai tto see it when its done

second you guys are stupid saying ther gna get helicopters after you do you realize how much that cost there not gna spends thousands of dollars just to get a fourwheeler that will pay a small fine theyd be losin money
and if you cant get away from the cops you have no bussiness ownin a fourwheeler its the easiest thing and its a huge adrenaline rush

I AGREE!!! all said and done!

[400exrapes]

first of all this rebuild looks awesome. Whatever camera your using is incredible, and a black swingarm with a chrome axle is the best looking rear end possible IMO. This thing is going to come out amazing, great job so far.

[DementeD]

definitely a beauty..i just started out this thread and when i did..i was thinkin damn u know what would look hott..
a nice dark red pc frame

and sure **** next page it was there..sexy as fk

goodluck cant wait to see it finished..

[zdowell]

austin20, maybe in your small town they won't send helicopters. To cops its not a matter of how much money they are losing to get you. If that were true, using your logic, they wouldn't even have cop cars out because they are "losing" money. I love people who talk about running from cops. Just wait, you will get caught, and you will lose your quad, and lots of money. Maybe not today, or this year, do it enough and they will get you. But back to the AWESOME build. Can't wait for more pictures.

[austin20]

actually i have been caught once, they followed me home and i got a slap on the wrist from the guy
maybe your just not good enough to getaway
but either you pull over get you rquad taken, or you give her hell and get away

yea if you on a open road with just houses on both sides yea pull over but if there are woods ur @$$ better run if you have any tallent aat all youll get away.

[hornetgod13]

Wow! Only 32 posts and you're already acting like an idiot! You don't run from the cops! You don't talk about running from the cops on here either! It's not Dukes of Hazzard! I hope you get caught and get your quad taken. Than you can ride a bicycle until your old enough to get a job. You talk and act like you're only 13, 14, or 15. Grow up and be responsible.

Side note: It's not GNA it's spelled "going to". Gna is not a word!

I'm sorry people have to ruin perfectly good thread.

honda_runner your quad is coming together great! Keep posting pictures. I can't wait to see it all back together.

im pretty sure everybody has given the guy props for having a great quad we just have a side conversation on the side, by the way i have a job, and i do drive, so getover yourself everyone is just stating their opinions and your the immature one wishin that kind of stuff on someone
and thats that, if its such a big deal y dont you just post a reply sayin that noone needs to be on here talkin about anything other than the winter project
well i guess since you cant do that without throwin insults i will here you go

EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP TALKIN ABOUT RUNNIN FROM COPS THIS IS A THREAD ABOUT THIS GUYS WINTER PROJECT IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT RUNNIN THEN GO START A THREAD ABOUT THAT, BUT I HIGHLY DISADVISE IT

[zr7cat]

That airbox looks sick, I love it. I would like to relocate the battery like that, I hate that thing out back like it is stock. Nice job, keep up the good work. Where did you get that air box?, Is it home made?

[BigBore24]

x2 on the airbox. that is one of the best looking ones i have seen. what did you do for an axle nut? ive got a durablue axle with stock nuts and i cant keep the dang things tight. such a pain, eventually i will buy an aftermarket one

CFM Performance makes that airbox, i think by far its the best one out there. I did my research when making my decision on it.

I didn't put on the stock locknut yet, since I don't have a big enough tool for it. The stock is a crappy design, I usually agree with Honda on a lot of their engineering, but not in this case...

oh um.. can we please stop talkin about the "running from cops" I did it, you did it, he did it, whatever, I don't brag about it. You ride like you want....

[hornetgod13]

G-Force makes a 2 piece special wrench set to fit the stock axle and brake rotor nuts. The wrench set costs around $19.00 at www.rockymountainatv.com

Rad-Loc anti-fade axle nuts are some of the least expensive and best ways to prevent the nut from coming loose. I've had one now for 6 months and I think it's fantastic.

[austin20]

correct me if im mistaken but didnt we already settle this cop thing im pretty sure i said quit talkin about it the honda runner said it and hornet god13 said he agreed but then here ya are again doin it


SO JUST QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BigBore24]

hey hornetgod. does the rad lock just clamp onto the axle? ive seen them on ebay and your right they arent too badly priced

[hornetgod13]

Originally posted by BigBore24

It has threads on it and it replaces the stock axle nut. It's a pinch nut. You tighten it by hand and than tighten the 2 allen screws. Those 2 screws pinch the nut together. Here's picture of mine.

[hornetgod13]

Another picture of the Rad-Loc axle nut.

[BigBore24]

thanks for your help. im so sick of this pos coming loose

[honda_runner]

Yea thanx guys! That made my decision about the axle nut, im definitly getting the Rad Lock!

Heres some progress over the weekend...

You can also check out my work on myspace.com/glockbag
to see all my photography work!

[400exrapes]

yeah i will if theres more quad stuff on there, thats mostly what i'm interested in seeing.

[400exMO]

build's looking good. What suspension setup are you planning on?

[honda_runner]

Originally posted by 400exMO

well my original plans were to get the 450-r shocks for the from and keep the rear stock.

but my buddy has a setup to sell me for 500, its axis shocks, triple rate... all around, not sure the condition of them, and im not sure if they are good shocks

[klutch]

Custom Axis Shocks are great. 500 for all 3 is an awesome deal.

[400exrapes]

Custom axis are possibly the best, a lot of pro's run them.

[400exMO]

Originally posted by 400exrapes

Ya lots of pros run them, get the parts pros run and you'll be just as fast:o
3 axis shocks for 500 is a deal. Even if they're blown, 200$ and acouple weeks later and they'll be great.

[honda_runner]

I know its been a while but i will be posting pics soon..

I've ran into a couple unexpected plans, like getting my car totalled, and having to buy a new car, and having full coverage at the age of 21 sucks.. so my disposible income has now decreased.

The motor is almost done...

once the motor is back in the frame, this build will go a lot faster.

[Honda#4]

Quad is lookin good, sorry bout the trouble but dont worry.

[450Rchaser]

nice build...but the bars are gonna be bent after the 1st role over. almost like a stock bend. unless you got a crossbar to connect the 2 sides.

[honda_runner]

yea, i got the crossbar sitting on the table.. I took it off cause i was cleaning it, and i know how important that is. hehe

[Honda#4]

Build is coming along very nicely, killer pics. The pics of the piston and cam bring back memories for me, I kinda miss rebuilding my motor even though it took awhile to get everything right sure was a fun job.

[400exrapes]

yeah build looks incredible, the quality of these pictures is insane. I cant wait to see the build finished, dont let this thing touch dirt or anything before you take a million pictures, because it wont ever be as clean as it is right after the build.

[honda_runner]

Oh don't worry, its going straight into full photo studio.. with muliple hotties sitting on it....

I'm gonna buy matching girl outfits also!

Im using the stock swithes.. just like the stock brakelight.. this one will just stay on, and its not hooked up to any controls like brakes, just the switch on the handlebars.

Since that like takes the same amperage and volatage.. it will be functional.

Once I turn the key, the neutral light kinda flickers.. so i called a local dealer and they told me a relay would cost me $67!!! i was like omg!!!

Why is the relay so expensive???

just out of curiosity, does it have a good ground?? that sounds like a possibility based on your description.

you should top this thing off with like a generation x hood like sparkle red ... it would be awesome and it'll still be really nice either way

You know... idk anymore! I have powercoat everywhere of course and i grounded to the subframe... and im sure the ground doesn't make it through the bolts to the main frame... so idk.. im sick of wires..

Tomarrow im gonna take a meter to the starter relay.. and then i'll know for sure.

[Pipeless416]

theres your problem. take a wire brush or something and just brush off the coating right where the ground goes. that was my problem and mine was just painted.. no thick powdercoat. :)

[Ruby Soho]

all i did was smudge the powdercoat where i bolted my ground do alittle bit. which is right on the subframe.

[Brauap]

Could you please take afew pictures of the plastics sitting on the frame? I really need to see what the color scheme looks like.. looking wonderful! Wires arn't any biggy at all, if you have an ohmes meter! (Veryy nice to have!) Well, I absolutly can't wait for the finshed product! Just wondering how much longer do you think it will take for it to be done?

Thanks a whole lot! Also, if by chance, maybe a picture of the brackets you had to weld on.. I am thinking about getting the conversion like you.. it looks wonderful. I know parts are expensive, and money may be tight, but jeez.. your killing us all! We want to see this beast! ( And maybe with a few girls on it too! :eek2: :eek2: ) hahah

The yellow H11 bulb is 55watts which means its bright as hell! They are not going to be daytime running lights.. and I do plan on using them at night, yes!

not to tell you what to do, but why dont you take your time and just find some parts that will make due... becasue you said that you might loose your job, so if you loose your job your gonna need money, im geussin this is gonna be one of the things to go,

I.E. i got a set of douglas bead locks for 35 or soemthing like that, the only thing that was "wrong" was one of the bolts fell out... just got another one and put it in,

what is the hinson stabalizer like?

The hinson is the same as billetanium,denton etc. stick style ones. They even all use the same catridge the only difference is the sticker thats on it.

why stock plastics??

Because I couldn't find aftermarket plastics that kept the headlight and fenders... It was always.. headlights, and cut fenders.. or fenders and no headlights..

[lilyamaharacer4]

Lets see some pics man. I need inspiration for mine. How does a dark candy purple with yellow plastics sound?
