So might as well share this project with you all. I am starting out with the following. 01 400ex, was told it was a 440 but ended up stock bore and piston. stage 2 hot cam, white bro pipe, full skid k&n filter few little things. Well about 3 weeks ago it shut off on me and just now got around to working on it. Ended up the oil pump went down, toasted top end.
Any how the planes are to bulid a good handling trail bike.
Engine.
426 kit, 11.1 piston 450 carb and some head clean up. I'm not sure on the cam I got a good stock cam but if I can get good seat of pants power from adding the cam I will. I may change the pipe I ain't really read on them. I really love the look of a cut down pipe but what is the point in this?
Frame.
gusset it, clean paint or powder coat. Have read that you can raise the shock mounts 1 inch to kind of give it a 250r fill?
Shocks, a arms and singer.
450R front shocks.. Not sure on back may end up just cleaning the stocker up.
This is were the fun part start. I have all ways wanted to make my own a arms. thinking +2 than +1 forwards, most likely just +2. these will have adjustable heims for ball joints and bushings. I got a lot of studying one this, finding out what does what, never bulid a independent style be for.
This may be a slow like bulid I'm a poor college kid with more time than money so I make what I need to.any how here is some pic of the turd...
