wait a year and get the new honda coming out.. Cuz the 400 is already getting outdated.. but that would be a nice quad.

sounds like a good plan but replace all that dg stuff with the ac it's alot better man, but i would wait a while until a new honda comes out :D

Good ideas. YOur total comes to like 10000 dollars. Yeah, honda will come out with their new kick @$$ quad here pretty soon that will send suzuki back crying. its gonna be good. and then suzuki will probally do the same thing they did to the 400ex. make the z, just one thing better for each componet of the 400ex. copy cats.

ac doesnt offer most of the dg things that are on my list. i dont want something anymore expensive than a 400ex cause i will be making payments and building the quad slowly.i wasnt sure if the dg aarm skids would fit on the housers but im sure they can be modified cause i like the idea of having them. and the dg lowering i want but if it wont work i wont get it but i still like the idea of having it

whats wrong with houser???


the durablue lowering strut is a waste of money

nothing but if your getting houser arms, why get a-arm skids, and lower it, and 22" xct holeshots, its like your trying to race mx, xc, and tt

Better yet, replace all the ac or dg crapolla with PRM STRENGTH

actually i plan on starting xc or mx sometime in the future. the lower it is the better handling. i dont want it TOO low but id still like it low. and what is wrong with racing all 3 with the same quad if it will win? exactly and i might bore it sometime but id like to keep it stock bore for the reliability cause ill be riding with friends in orchards and woods and chit too

Better wait till 2010 man, I heard Honda is making a 425cc quad with a turbo, titanium frame, and air shocks all around that have 16in of travel :ermm:

Just get a ZPS style shock. It will do the lowering for you.

no durablue x-33 axle i have learned that rpms are better, dg light guards are a waste on money, you dont need a lowering kit, also if your decking the quad out completely id get a roll design steering stem, and id get a hydraulic clutch and id deffinitly get some shockwears for those nice elka shocks, oh an d for shocks i suggest elka tripple rate with piggybacked rezzies other than that id keep the plastic stock and race cut them, and deffinitly the sparks x-6:D

i have shock covers on the list. i also have a lsr steering stem w/ anti-vibe. i like having the guards cause i will be doing more rec. riding than anything so i will need the heardlights and i like the way it looks but thanx for replying. i also do not know if i want to lowering kit but its always something i dont have to get. i dont even have my ex yet but i should have it in a few weeks.
