what do you guys think the chances of the 08 plastic fitting on the olders years are.... if they did that would be awesome because i love the way the 08's look....

it shouldnt be to hard, seeing as the frame is the same

Ya but you prolly could easily fix that by just fabricating some up. Or just buying an 08 400ex LOL J/K:p :devil:

I just put 08 plastic on my 01 yesterday. Everything bolted up using the EXACT same mounts all i had to do was drill two holes in the front of the frame for the lower headlight bracket. It looks like it was meant to be!

I guess I didn't realize there was a differance between 06-07 and 08. I don't have pictures yet I'm waiting on my sidecovers because I didn't realize I was supposed reuse my old ones and they were faded and cracked up so I just ordered another set.

if you run a 99-04 and plan on swaping on 05-07 plastic and USING the headlight you need to buy the head light bracket and fabricate/weld on brackets to attach the bracket to as the 05-07 frames have these mounts welded on already

oldquadridr thats a good looking 400, id get red netting for the nerfs though



about using 08 plastics i think it would end up costing more then a set of aftermarkets cuse you would probably need an 08 fuel tank and seat,

Its not that big of a deal making brackets to bolt the plastic too. its just i love the look of the 08 400ex's.........possibly the best looking bike ever....in my opinion.....so basically i would just love to be able to get that plastic on a 99-04 model.....
