400ex Winter Overhaul Thread

[Reece616]

I've been meaning to post this before but I got too lazy...

I'm a member on hondaatvforums.net
and have a "build" thread there. Instead of starting one here from the beginning, I figure I'd just link to it.
Let me know what you guys think...

That's how it sits now.
I ordered a new battery, so I'm waiting for that to come in and get it running (and starting good) before putting any plastic on. The muffler was inside getting painted.

Also, I put on the heat shield (looks pretty cool to me...)

Looks nice, I'm lovin' the color combo.

Thanks man!

Yesterday my new battery came in (I picked up a hayabusa battery)
and I was able to start it up and ride around a little.
I just threw the rear fender on, and went like that (no footpegs haha)

It was a good time! Now, I'm gonna be cleaning up the plastic, and putting the nerf bars.

[Reece616]

Got the nerf bars on yesterday.
Here are some pics...

Let me know how those nerfs hold up. I was thinking about getting those or the Blingstar one's that have the netted heelguards.

[Reece616]

Will do.
I don't go all that hard tho, so we'll see.
So far I love them.
