I sand blasted the frame where my dad works and then took it to where I work to have it powdercoated

Brought it home and started to work on it!
I also taped off the frame to avoid scratching it when I put the motor back in.

I also decided to paint the motor in high temp black paint and then sanded the edges of the fins

x2 on what CJM said, both parts.

Haven't seen a 400ex black and yellow build yet, it looks good. Put some matching graphics on it and it will look really nice.

Thanks guys! I'm way happy with the way it turned out :)

I also added the CFM oil tank, stainless braided brake lines, full skid plate, and a header wrap.

I definitely want some graphics, just not sure which ones...
