Took the YZF400ex for its first ride

[OutlawEX]

Well after getting all my mounts and gussets and hose all ran and done i finally was able to ride the quad for the first time since september after i tore it down to build..Well let me tell you one thing these YZF's are a b!tch to kick. But n-e ways after i just threw everything on dumped the fluids in and i finally got it started that wait was totally worth it..The power in that motor and torque is like no other i have rode ever before. I have rode pro-level 250R's and modded Ex's like i had and the torque doesnt compare. I wasnt able to get on it the way i wanted to do to no riding gear nor any of my parts like all my new stuff such as my new front end,and some major tuning as it needs jetted and many other dings and tings here and there..But now i got the quad all stripped down to the frame as im getting ready to send it out to Pappy for a face lift.. But I would like to thank CFM Performance for making me my custom Oil tank that rocks.Well here are some pics that are pretty embarressing to post but i guess the motor in the frame makes it all worth it..The pipe looks huge but i didnt have my grab bar on during the pic. I will post pics of this quad in about 3 weeks when it should be done im just waiting on my LT a-arms now and i just got my Shocks (PEP ZPS LT for +3)

[OutlawEX]

[jmoney45]

Great job on the conversion. Keep posting pics as you go. I know this is a lot of people's dreams (mine included), and it's cool to see someone actually do it.

[OutlawEX]

It looks like your pipe is just a little long but that is one sweeet bike you have send us sum more pic's of it when you get it all done:ermm:

[Paul400ex2002]

ok is that an R sub frame or what? cause the stock 400ex one doesn't have a grab bar you can take off... and that one doesn't have the mounts for the battery box

I believe he has a LSR :macho

[OutlawEX]

Yes its a LSR subframe for a 400ex w/out battery mounts..

The pipe looks big because i didnt have my grab bar on
