Priorities?

ok guys i just got done with a 416 rebuild so im moving on toi the next thing. What should i do next? i want the following things:
1. front rims (to match the back)
2. front bumper
3. shocks
4. 450r carb?

Definetly get either the 450r shocks or a 450r carb.

The bumper and rims dont have any performance gain, the 450r carb/shocks do.

just my opinion.

If you ride xc a nice bumper is pretty important. Shocks make the 400 handle so much better so put those near the top of the list.

i think my new list:
1. bumper (i just hate that hidious stock one)
2. carb
3. shocks
4. rims

i think this is what im going to do.

I would do the shocks first, then tires, then a bumper, then the carb last. jetting is not as fun as just bolting on lol. Ill let you know when i get mine dialed in as to how much better it is. lol. steve

My list would be the same as Steve's. The 450r carb took me like a month total to get it dialed in, and I'm still not quite there haha. Shocks make a pretty substantial difference, they're pretty much the only weak point of a stock 400EX.
