I talked my wife into letting me buy a 700xx, so we're downsizing to one 400ex. As a result, I'm combining our best parts into one bike that she will keep and then putting together another 440 that I will sell. Here's the build for her bike.
I started by stripping down our parts bike and gusseting the frame. Then I wanted to get it powder coated. I called around to the local places and they wanted $350 to powder coat just the frame! I said forget that. I had a hobby kit and I decided that I could build an oven for less than they wanted to coat one frame. So that's what I did. Here's the oven I built. Interior dimensions are 4' deep, 3' high, 2' wide.

I built her a 440 2007 reverse motor with 89mm 11:1 Wiseco piston, Stage 2 Hot Cam, EBC clutch, and Moose high output stator. You can also see some of the gusseting I did in the second picture.

It's got a 3" extended swingarm with LSR carrier bearing.

I tore the dust cover removing the A-arms, so I bought some replacements from Energy Suspension. We'll see how these work out.

I made some pretty good progress on the assembly this weekend. Hopefully in a few more hours I'll have it finished up. Is there a good thread somewhere on how to strip down the wiring harness?
