That's all I can think of for now but I know I need a steering stabilizer. Does anybody know if a 450r stabilizer will work? Also building another 400ex for XC with my brother for him to race too so I might post up his mod list next.
Any ideas on what I might need be missing would be appreciated.

Sounds like you already have a pretty badass 400, pics??:blah:

Anyway I think the only thing you are missing is the steering stabilizer. I'm not sure if a 450 will work or not. the puck style may fit but I'm not sure of the frame rails are different widths or not. The stick style should, but not positive. I would run a GT Thunder Poly engine skid and then a GT Thunder swingarm skid if you need one clearanced for an aftermarket linkage, if not I'd get a Pro Armor unit. I wouldn't mess with a-arm skids. And then I'd also go with the 450R carb. over the 39mm. I have one on my 400 and it made a BIG difference in usable power.

39mm FCR carb will have a stiffer thumb throttle...get the 450r carb, your thumb will thank you. Your front rims 4 to 1 will narrow your front a little...narrow is good but +2 a-arms is not what I would prefer in tight woods....narrow is better, front an rear.

450r carb it is! I just have it in parts for now. Getting ready to build it next month. Just making sure I have everything ready so that when it gets back from powdercoating I can just start going at it and hopefully get it rolling the same day.

Trx 90 thumb lever will make a big differents over a stock lever.

24 volt starting would be nice.

amongst all those high end parts you omitted the kill switch. you cant race without it. for those parts you could get a more worthy trail machine.

[childert79]

I'll post pics of the parts laid out this week. I already have a killswitch and I'll post up a list of my brothers list too.
You'll all be amazed when I post up prices on how much we each have into the atv's so far. I can tell you I have about $1800 in mine so far and he has less than me and he has all elka and laegers on his. :D

[Stickman400]

I gurantee I have 5 times as much into mine. It's okay to admit that you have a problem, most of us on here do.:D

[childert79]

I know I have a problem and it's not just with my quads. I just got rid of my drz400 supermoto and that thing had everything you could think of done to it besides a stroker crank. Right now I have a 2007 model SV650 I picked up with 2400 miles on it that I'm tearing down to do all kinds of crap to. Also building an ar15 and revamping my shotgun and handguns for my zombie/shtf arsenal too. Then after I finish all that I need to do my Nissan Frontier. Thinking it needs full longtravel setup with bumpers and a winch!:D
