400ex project

[wvspeedfreak]

Well,I am starting a long drawn out process of putting a 400ex together completely from scratch.I have rounded up quite a few parts already but there are still alot of little odds and ends I will be needing along the way.
Here is what I have together so far.Freshly powder coated frame (thanks Kenny) and a 12.5:1 compression 440cc motor set in place.As soon as I get some more parts coated I will be bolting on the front end and swingarm.
As with any project like this where you are starting with nothing and trying to track down everything you need piece by piece,you are going to run into set backs.I hit the first one this evening...I installed the steering stem and realized I didn't have a rubber bushing for the upper mount :p
I will post pics and progress as this thing gets going.

awesome project. i love the white frame, and have considered going white on mine as well. this is a huge undertaking, but you know what you're doing.. can't wait! if you need anything like fender brackets and such, let me know.

Thanks Pipeless.I am going to get everything that I have been gathering up out of the boxes and see what all I actually have.I will make a list of all the little stuff I need and post it.
I am in no hurry to get it together and I am just working on it as I have time.

[wvspeedfreak]

Here is a short list of some parts I am needing.It isn't everything but these parts will get me rolling with what I already have so far.

Spindles
Rear shock linkage and bolts
Coil
Wiring harness
All 3 brake rotors
Upper steering stem bushing

If anybody has any of this for sale,let me know.

I like the frame on it

[wvspeedfreak]

Yeah,I like the white frame look.I wish I had some more pics to post but until I get some parts powdercoated,it is at a stand still.
I have a Houser front end for it and a few other cool parts.

I found the linkage for it. I guess i'll round up the next batch of 400EX stuff and get it shipped to you.

This is all I got so far :p It is kind of on the back burner at the moment and everytime I start on it I run into a part I need and don't have lol.
