I don't know what to go with on my 400EX! What color scheme? Yellow Plastic/Red Frame?
Yellow Plastic/Black Frame?
Yellow Plastic/Gold Frame?
Red Plastic/Black Frame?
Red Plastic/Red Frame?

But then its not JUST red, its a million different types of RED! I need HELPPPP! I THINK I AM GOING CRAZY!! :chinese:

I need as much help as possible! If someone could photoshop something or something...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT DO DO!

I am going with either New Honda Red or Yellow plastics.. no maier/full bore/ect.

Also, should I get Black Baja wheels or ploished... I don't know what to do! URH!

I'm gonna be going with a blue metalic frame and my yellow plastics hopefully I can get it painted next year sometime. I would'nt go with the same color for both the frame and plastics cuz it tends to be to much.

If you have a good quality pic i'll photochop it for ya.

I think red plastics with black frame/subframe, and black baja wheels. Spray some parts of the engine red too. Swingarm and a-arms black.

nothing to me looks better than a white frame/black components with white full bore race cut fenders. now that i look back on my build i wish i had done that

Brauap
11-02-2008, 03:04 PM
....Or how about a "chrome" frame/arms with yellow plastics? That'd look cool.. wouldn't it? SO MANY CHOICES!! :blah:

This is pretty cool IMHO.

Plus, you would definitely stand out. It's not very often you see a classic 400ex.

Honda#4
11-02-2008, 04:26 PM
If you really want to have yellow plastics then go with either a trans blue or candy blue or a gloss black frame.

Save the chrome for dune people.

Brauap
11-02-2008, 04:46 PM
I have seen many yellow/blue 400EX's and I just can't get myself to like that look.. and the "chrome" isn't really chrome.. its kind of like stock but alittle shinier.. look under "Post Your PC" under Body in the forums..

11-02-2008, 05:01 PM
Did a quickie.

Brauap
11-03-2008, 03:10 PM

MX: :ermm:

Why the MX? I heard they are HORRIBLE on the trails.. arn't you a trail rider?

Honda#4
11-03-2008, 03:16 PM
I dont go on trails at all, I ride on 200 acres of fields by my house and a sand pit we have thats about all.

Then why did you have an XC setup..? lol

Honda#4
11-03-2008, 03:42 PM
I liked the way XC quads looked at the time I bought my quad, then after a year passed and being on this great site I got a deal on a Roll swinger from Dave(a.k.a Chino886 at that point I decided that I wanted to go the route of a MX quad so then after deciding to do that I looked pretty hard finding MX parts all over this site and after one failed atempt at a front end I came upon finding my Roll front end from (Doc Bones) then I knew I couln't stop from there and then sold half of my stock parts to buy more aftermarket stuff to the point where i'm at now.

Thats my story in a nut shell LOL!

11-03-2008, 03:44 PM
brauap,

even trail riders use a rear maxxis razr mx, and razr2 fronts. Not many people like razr2 rears.

Brauap
11-03-2008, 04:22 PM
Ture, DMC, but I have heard from counless ppl that they suck! (on trails)

Honda#4, just shave your fenders to looking MXie.. (lol) I love the look of full fendered MX'ers!! Then again, its your quad. Do what ever you want to it! (Minus chop the fenders! lol jk)

Honda#4
11-03-2008, 05:48 PM
I plan on shaving them just gotta wait till my registration stickers run out then I will.

Are you serious..?

I thought the coolest part about your quad was the fact it's MX'd out with full fenders. I hate the looks and feel of cut. Thats what made yours stand out to me.

Yeeeuuupp! Dunno. It's his quad.. whatcha gunna do?


__________________________________________________ __


Well, I spent acouple of hours on this.. (yes, thats how much I suck at it). I used your original frame, DMC, cut copied it and put it on the bike stock and went from there. Could you please PS the hubs the same color as the frame?

The gas tank in the pic is a Clarke 5.5 gal Natural Colored tank FYI. It would also have dif tires, but I just wanted them to look new so I darkend them. And for the bars they would be prolly either pro taper or fly with that bar pad that covers the bottom on the bars. Either than what you see in the pic, it would have tinner air scoops, baja wheels, PRM Summit bumper, and a steering stablizer.

Whatcha think?

Brauap
11-03-2008, 08:37 PM
PS: Those would be Pro Armor Race Peg nerfs..

Actually to be honest I hate the fenders, everytime I go to work on my quad im always hittting them reguardless of what I do. I still have plans on getting laker custom plastics sometime in the future so my yellow ones are there just as backups.

So I may or may not cut them, I find myself modding more than riding so IDK.

yellow plastics
if you must have stickers/graphics, black only
black frame/arms
black motor
black wheels

the yellow plastics would pop being the only color. i am a less-is-more type of person tho. my quad is similarly done, but with silver.. see sig link.

To be honest.. I think you should either go to the 05-07 yellow plastics (looks cooler with mods) or go something crazy like white.

JMHO

Tomorow after school ill give it a shot.

imo i think red an yellow doesnt look that great..... Kinda looks like your riding for McDonalds or something lol, but it is your quad and you can do what you like. I personally think the white/blue looks badas$ but its up to you..
