I don't think I ever really showed how ratty my 400ex was when I bought it... It has come a long way since then, and id say now she has a good home..

Before:
Bent Steering Stem
Broken Light Switch
Broken Tail light
Bald tired all around
Very dirty
Low handlebars

After:
Straight Steering Stem
Brand new light switch
New tires all around
Cleaned
New handlebars
Trailtech vapor
I think it looks much better than it did.

Yep... it looks much better.

I don't think I took pics of my heap when I got it.
It looks great now and is really functional...
But I wish it ran half as badazz as it looks... LOL...


I just happened to notice your tank cover is black. I wonder if it's the same setup as the 99-04? When I was working on mine a while back I noticed that area looked good in black on mine when my tank cover was off. I may pick one up someday if they are indeed the same.
