Let me know what y'all think.. any ideas or thoughts are appreciated.. especially if you would recommend any upgrades or parts i should think about getting :)

Rediator Shrouds: PRM is a great company, very strong and well made products.

Bumper: Very strong PRM bumper.

Pipe: Works well, a little loud IMO but nice pipes.

Airbox: Every 400ex has that snorkel on it, thats where you get your air from when the Airbox lid is on. I cut mine in the same place because when they are long they get in the way of the valve cover, etc.

Bars: Moose. Moose is another really good brand.

Nerfs: Nothing special about them, but they are good nerfs. Get some stocker heel guards though.

CDI: I have heard good things about dynatek when they are tuned right.

Looks like you gotta nice and well built quad there. Take care of old Reba :)

[Otis.Leo]

thanks cody!! how does one tune or program that? is it something to take to a dyno and get it programed to what i want or am looking for?

[Stickman400]

I'd get an outerwear for that K&N just to help it filter better. And I'm not sure on how those Dynatek programmers work. Somebody on here has one though, maybe they will chime in and help ya out. Looks like a good solid bike though.

[dxcody]

Yea im not sure how they work either.

Def a solid built bike though.

The prev. owner who had it before you really looks like he knew what he was doing, and took care of it.

[dxcody]

Depends what Gen they are. Some you can, some you cant.

[Otis.Leo]

My brother has heel guards on his and when he gets his nerf bars I'm going to take his and make new guards but use the mounting bars/brakets as a template.. then i will get some aluminum ones cut up and rig something that will fit with these nerf bars.. we rode this past weekend and heal guards are definitely a good idea.
