Yellow Or Red Plastics

[CJM]

I currently have red plastics, having bought my quad used the PO did a nice job of cutting the front fenders-sarcasm!

So Im thinking about getting new plastics, whats your take:
1. Stick with red
2. Go yellow.

Im kinda partial to the yellow.

yellow looks bad *** if you do it right. im currently switching mine to red because i love red with black rims and black accents, i have a burnt orange frame so i think it looks awesome under red and black.

[VTredneckgames]

I voted Yellow because I already have one in red.

I think yellow looks more racey and red looks more like a trail rider.

mines yellow, bought it that way new and hate it more every day but i also don't like yellow sports cars, you may like it alot, it's just to neon colored for me

[mineralgrey01gt]

This shouldn't even be a contest....its a Honda RIDE RED

[CJM]

I see reds winning..

If I did keep red or go to yellow im gonna redo the seat, what an ugly color red it is imho.

Was thinking about getting something like this for the seat:

Course, I could also do maier orange plastics but I heard they are a pain to fit without all thier panels and they are $$$$$$$ compared to even oem.

I just converted my red seat to a black one as well. Some guys have said it gets hot in the sun but in the Northeast we don't get too much heat issues.

Thats kinda why I felt the twotone would work better for me. It gets hot here, can reach 100F during the summer and black bakes you..

mines red, I rally wanted Black but that was more money.
Are you going to put decals or stickers on it?

yellow more race style,
Red can look bad a**

[CJM]

Probably not gonna put any if few stickers on it, I prefer the clean look.

People should post a pic to support their 'yellow' decisions, I haven't seen many great looking yellow EX's

[rebel400ex]

I vote gray mine are Mailer with no markings on it looks clean.

[Shawthy33]

What's with the huge gap between the front and rear sections on the gray maiers? Is that how they fit?

[rebel400ex]

yeh I need to find some way to adjust them to fill the gap.

[PaRedneckRiders]

i say red because it kinda like a honda tradition
RIDE RED
But i personally have a red 400 and a silver 400 (maier race cut with a quadtech carbon fiber hood)
also have a set of yellow race quad and i like it but it doesnt look as good as say silver, black, or red

[01 400EXer]

I like red with a black Honda seat.

[Shawthy33]

Great looking bike right there, I have a stock black seat on the way to me now, I can't wait to throw it on

[Ratman]

Go white, everyone has red or yellow.

[01 400EXer]

I like white with the red seat like the 89 250R.

[CJM]

Im still kinda undecided, but I just might change to a black seat with new red plastics. Mine are junk..

Still debating tho..

[parsell02 400ex]

white looks awesome with all black accents, but red and yellow both look bad !@# with all black rims+ whatever else, personally i like my yellow but there starting to fade

[CJM]

I will add that I got plenty of time to make up my mind.

I am slowly finishing a minor rebuild and need to get a new battery, new ear wheels and tires (anyone want some major offset (maybe 3 inches??? douglass 8in beadlocks with carlilse turf tamer 18's? btw) and get the quad tuned properly
