[PaRedneckRiders]

You mean PC and what color??

[426kidz]

YES PC. and black on bottom and silver vain on top most likely:blah:

[AtvKid4Eva]

we were thinkin some sort of black on the lowers and some grey on the uppers...but give us some suggestions...

[PaRedneckRiders]

what about a black lower and chorme upper??

Link to the chrome powder
http://www.powderbuythepound.com/PATENTED_ULTIMATE_CHROME.html

Bike black powder
http://www.powderbuythepound.com/bike_black.html
Or a flat black
http://www.powderbuythepound.com/BLACK_MATTE_TUSCAN_-FLAT_BLACK.html

I think that combo would look pretty sweet but up to you.

Would look better if the frame was painted or PC

[PaRedneckRiders]

Are your Roll arms LT??

[426kidz]

Yes

[PaRedneckRiders]

Dam
Wanta trade for some ST housers lol jk.

Thing should look sick with those arms on, Are you making the rear any wider?

[426kidz]

Yeah, when I find someone gettin rid of a nice axle than yeah prob.thanks

[PaRedneckRiders]

Id check out the g-force axles.
They have a lifetime warranty and i think are a decent axle for under 200$$.

Ive never had probs with any i have run in a couple different quads and i was mostly on the mx track.

[426kidz]

Yeah we will see.I need some nerfs and other things first...this was a winter project and I am moving way too fast for the bank,but thats ok:cool:

[CJM]

highly recommend tusk nerfs. I got mine on ebay for 180 bucks shipped and for the money they just cant be beat.

[426kidz]

yeah good price...we will see im not crazy about tusk to be ohnest:ermm:

[2001400exrida]

ac racing makes some good nerfs.

[426kidz]

Who are you refering to?

[426kidz]

you...:confused:

Okay... Just wondering... The stickers is a no choice thing... Its all about sponsors... I race MX so thats why, and the motor has no work done to because of the class i use to run when i was younger didn't allow it. I now have everything taken out for work. The motor will remain stock for the moment because i need to get it all back together and i don't have time to get a P&P until febuary... Besides i don't need a fast engine to be fast, its all in the rider...

[426kidz]

if you say so, but nice bike:D

[CJM]

Depends on the class and the riders, but yea its possible.

I like to have more power myself tho :D

[trailrider894]

ha ha trust me man, i've got everything here in a box for the engine work... Just no time for it. MX is a tight schedule. And thanks, its a money pit but a blast.

[426kidz]

nooo i believe you about the parts,lol just the all about the ridder deal...a fast ridder on a fast bike and a fast ridder on a slower bike...you know who will win right?,haha but yeah man good luck raceing!

I totally agree with your logic, i just train harder and more often than the guys i race with. So i can race faster for longer. I am definetly doing some engine work though before the Championship in August.

[426kidz]

yeah for sure man..god i want the xr400r side case with hinson clutch cover so bad..i cant find a cover anywhere...keep your eyes open

[CJM]

just do the XR400 and an XR400 case cover. I mean unless you want the hinson bling.

[426kidz]

I think the hinson clutch cover is wider for the 400ex clutch i dont think you can run it??I have only ever seen it with the hinson I figure for a reason

[CJM]

There was a write up awhile ago where a guy talked about doing it to his EX.

Im pretty sure it would work since all those covers are for an XR400 anyways I think...

http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=453638&highlight=clutch+cover

Im not 100% sure about needing a hinson basket either. But the picture on page 2 doesnt look like a hinson.

[426kidz]

yeah if you read that page....you have too have a hinson clutch basket for it!

[CJM]

Originally posted by 426kidz

Guy with the pics never mentioned it.

With no definitive answer I can say yes/no, but like I said that dont look like an aftermarket basket.

heres another one on it http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?threadid=172869

[426kidz]

everyone on there used a aftermarket basket...idk I will look around and find the easiest way and keep everyone updated

[CJM]

Check out the 2nd link, guy said his is running fine with just cover.

I would be willing to try it.

[426kidz]

hmmm...yeah idk I rather have a boyen or hinson though..idk just too be safe i guesss id like too see pics ya know?

[426kidz]

and I would love too know where people wore even gettin these clutch covers any how Im haveing a hard time findin one!

[CJM]

If you check the other thread, togup replied to me and he stated he is using all stock parts. All he had to mod was the length of the clutch lever on the engine (probably could use an XR400) and the clutch cable stay.

Any cover for an XR400 will work.

Im gonna do it for the heck of it sooner or later once I iron out some other stuff. Just makes it more custom and easier to yank the clutch out if you want.

[426kidz]

yeah, def. I think its a great add -on, just like the look ok the after market clutch cover though. Im lookin for one as we speak the side case is not exspensive at all either.:p

[CJM]

Im thinking even if you use the stock XR400 covers, would be cool to have the clutch cover itself powder coated or something. Could also shine it up too.

[426kidz]

yeah, im talkin too pappy right now!!

[CJM]

Cool, Pappys the man for PC.

If I were to do it, I would probably do red or black to match my plastics.

[426kidz]

yeah....he said he cant do it??i guess ill have a local guy do it i rather have pappy do it but o well

[honda400ex2003]

he will be leaving for the race season soon so he is quite busy with that. he is def the man for the job though if you can wait to get it done. steve

[CJM]

Really, thats a shame. Wonder why?

[426kidz]

nooo it was due too somethin else that he didnt feel comfortable coatin that part...idk

[honda400ex2003]

huh weird stuff then lol. steve

[426kidz]

yeah i sent him a pic so he knows exactly what im talkin about...he may have been thinkin of somethin else thoug,idk ill wait and see.. I can get that coated black and than the stock removable clutch cover coated a nice gray or somethin or silver vein like my stem...Would be shceap and look amazing...:D

[426kidz]

Than all i would need is a clutch cover...

[426kidz]

Next upgrade...450r Grab bar just got it in today!

Do you think it was worth getting the powermadds to replace the tusk hand guards? I have the tusk guards and they seem okay but I'm starting to like the look of the powermadds better =/.

Tusk were crap... They got messed up and the mounts bent and broke before i could even use them.

yes. You will have to knock the nut off the mount for the plastics and replace it with a lower profile bolt.

Several on ebay....click me (http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=xr400+case&_sacat=0&_odkw=xr400+side+cover&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313)

[CJM]

Originally posted by atver13

You use it and the xr400 clutch cover=quick change clutch cover. So instead of yanking off the entire side case you just pull the clutch cover and voila you can get to the clutch.

[2001400exrida]

trailrider do you ride with your shocks facing forward or backward? i thought about this when i installed them but i went with the stock setup with them facing back. i was worried they may catch more debris facing up front, not that it really matters.

[426kidz]

scro there is none on ebay...I said clutch cover not case cover...I need or want an aftermarket removable clutch cover the xr, side cases are verywhere i knew that but have a hard time finding a hinson or anyother romovable clutch cover!! thanks for lookin though:D

[bkb88]

Well if you cannot find an aftermarket cover (I did not even see a stock clutch cover on ebay but plenty of XR case covers) you could always buy a stock one new for $97 I believe from bikebandit. I could not check servicehonda to see if it was any cheaper, site must have been down earlier. At least that would get you rolling until you could come across a nice aftermarket one later if you would like to make use of the XR quick change now.

[426kidz]

well i was plannin on gettin the stock one and having pappy paint it black and have a nice grey on the case and leave it alone...just too give it the nicer look sense it is winter and i have time too make it pretty and functional. But he says nope, cant PC that piece I think its too weak or somethin idk?:(

[bkb88]

I'm sure you could find someone besides him to do it. It sounded like he was uncomfortable doing it because he did not want to cause any leaks or something and didn't want to be liable. You should check around for some local powdercoaters and see what they would charge for just that little piece. Someone is bound to be up for making a few extra bucks to help you out.

[426kidz]

yeah def...but these local guys charge alot and idk alot of people get there stock side cases PD'ed and he does them...idk but ill keep ya updated on that and see where it leads me...new grab bar my bro got me for xmas is going on tomorrow that should be interesting also!:( :D

[426kidz]

Ok, here is the 450r grab bar on my 426...:D :D :D

[bkb88]

Looks pretty good! I have been thinking about doing this as well. I went from having a nice prm desert bar on my 350x to a plain ugly one piece subframe/grab bar on the 400 lol.
http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m14/thebutelr/SANY0237.jpg
I'm not a big fan of the aftermarket grab bars available for the 400 that bolt up with u-bolts. How much was the 450r grab bar?

[426kidz]

That AC one was around 70 dollars shipped off ebay, I think it looks really nice too, I like the simple look and the black...but you can get black or silver and install took about a hour.:D

[426kidz]

Next thing goin on is aluminum air box and nerfs...after i pay this 140.00 speeding ticket!:(

[trailrider894]

I don't think i would be comfortable cutting off a hunk of my subframe for a grab bar.

[bkb88]

Well it's not like it is in a part that compromises the structural integrity of the subframe, it's just the grab bar. So is the speeding ticket including court supervision?

[trailrider894]

But i would imagine that it all plays a roll. If the rear grab bar is cut off that holds the sides together., then you cutting off a main component would cause problems right?

[bkb88]

Well if you take a look at any other bike that requires a removable grab bar they are basically the same thing as what he has done here. All that is holding the end of the subframe together is the plate that holds the seat grommets and hook for the seat latch. To each their own, I myself came from an atv with the luxury of having a removable grab bar so I am partial to this mod.

Well it makes sense. I don't think i would do it, but if it works then go for it!!! :)

[426kidz]

Im not going too court just gonna pay it not worth my time the guy was a dick... and the grab bar is the nicest little add on i love it, also does not take anything away from the subframe at all. makes no sense to say it would sense it is pretty much seperate and is only there in case you flip it backwards and this one is very very strong, makes the bike look alot better and takes the old bent one that every 400ex has away....so yeah Its a nice add on.

[bkb88]

Well I was meaning court supervision to keep it off of your record so your insurance won't go up. In Illinois you don't have to appear in court for it, just pay the extra amount to get on court supervision when you pay your ticket. The laws are probably different in Ohio.

[AtvKid4Eva]

the structural support stops where the seat latch is after that the grab bar is just there for protection. trust me this this is solid! and this way if it bends it can be replaced easily :D

What did the front scoops run ya?

[426kidz]
