Well, a couple of months ago I startewd thinking about doing a complete rebuild to my 05 450r. I was planning on buying an 08 swinger, longer axle, and a bunch of other minor things. I decided to pass all of the hand-me down parts to the 400ex from his big brother.
Right now the bike is a 426, Big Gun complete, K&N, Jetted.
Its been on the 426 for 5 years or longer (talk about reliable) and it was my main ride until i got my 450r.
So it has taken quite a bit of abuse. the swinger was finished, as were the axle bearings, and the axle itself, so making the swap made sense.
What I have added so far:
450r Rear End;
Axle
Swinger
Brakes
Hubs
Baja wheels w/ Holeshot HD's from my 450
sprocket (pretty much everything from the swinger back)
450r QT hood
450r front shocks
Tag bumper from my 450r
+2 A-arms
What I want to ad:
stage 2 HC to compliment the 426
Nerfs
anything else?
Remember, this is not an all out rebuild, More of a facelift while I'm gathering parts to rebuild the 450r.
