400EX front on 300EX

[bjt7550]

Here is a bracket I made going to put the shocks on later tomorrow. I used the stock front fender supports (cut the center section) but I am still going to weld some flat stock across the front to make it 1 piece again.

I will post more pics when it is all done

Looks really good, show us a pic with the shocks on. Looks sort of like the one toby300ex makes. Nice work:)

[300EXrider02]

it is, well u got the idea from him right? i would def. do it if i had new i was going to keep the 300 for a while longer, but only another year, if that

[bjt7550]

If you see the quad in the backgroung of the side view pic ...That is where I made the bracket from. It is my buddys 250x frame with 350x motor , 350x swingarm & axle & 400ex front end. There are only so many ways you can make this bracket so they are all going to look somewhat the same

["BLAHH"300!!]

lets see some pics of that 250?>

get good pics of the
swingarm, side, rear shots.
motor left, right, motor mount shots.
a-arms, front and side shots...stand back a little bit and lets see how noticeable that shock mount brakett is in the front..

hook me up man...

All I need is 400ex a-arms...right? And shocks, but I mean, do the 400 ball joints fit? What about tie rods?

[02 Red Rider]

Glad to see the A-Arms and Tie-Rods worked out. Just out of curiosity did I send you the lower shock mount bolts also?

Looks good!

Hey Quadperson: I still have the stock shocks from my 2002 if you are planning this. PM me if you are interested.

[bjt7550]

Quad person
you need following parts:
400ex upper & lower arms
400ex tie rod (center rods only you can use your 300ex ends)
400ex shocks
300ex to 400ex shock mount


02 red rider
yes the shock mount bolts were sent

[02 Red Rider]

Cool Thanks!

Jason

[KrazyKid300ex]

how much for stock 02 shocks?

[quadperson]

I know that alot of guys replace all that stuff on their 400's, so finding it shouldn't be a problem, but how much money are we talkin' here?

[bjt7550]

I got 200 in parts
About $5 in metal to make mount but I made mine at my machine shop
There is a guy on here selling mount for about $40-$60

[TRX300X]

I don't understand why people use the 400's shocks or the R's for that matter. I did this conversion myself and just bought a set of works DRS Steelers st up for +2" A-Arms and it lowered the ride height up front but it handles so much better then stock.

trx300x
you dont understand why people use stock shocks...I paid $70 for 1 time ridden shocks thats why !
Down the road I will get some aftermarket shocks when the money is there to buy good shocks

Here is drawing of shock bracket
If someone can use go for it
If you dont understand the drawing then you cant make it
