What if you just gradually modded your 400ex into a hybrid quad? Like do all the normal chasis mods and get a arens frame that works with the crf and maybe swap motors. But if you wanna restore a old quad and thats really not what you want to do I would try to get ahold of a lt500 or lt250 or tecate and restore one of those because they are so cheap.

From what I understand from your post, I would say, stay away from the 400EX motor.

Look at it this way, forget all the conventional ATV and dirtbike motors. Find a ATV rolling chasis and stuff a street bike motor in it.

Was it in Dirtwheels awhile back that a 600CBR motor was stuffed in a 400EX? I dont remember exactly what frame that was, but the bike had 400EX plastics on it. Anyone remember the specifics??

Good luck and let us know what you decide bud.

i think that was a 250R frame with 400ex plastics i might be mixing it up with a atvsport though. i would do a streetbike thing though cuz that would be awesome!
