    color combo's

    Im tryin to decide what color combo i wanna do with my 400ex..

    so many great choices out there..id really like to see some pics posted of different ideas..

    nothing stock plz..
    but different color'd plastics or maybe stock plastics with a nice powder coated frame ..just something

    i have quite a few ideas ie blk plastics with a maroonish color frame and have different accents to go with it

    also white plastics with a blue frame/accents

    or blk/grey/carbonfiber etc..just really dont know which way to go..

    i really wanted to match it up to whatever color truck i buy..but maybe this will help..cuz im undecided about that as well

    so plz post different color combo's to help decide..thanks

    Same scheme as him... But not nearly as nice... Honestly if you want to stand out, don't go down the Gray/Black road... Although some carbon fiber might look pretty trick... And if you got the money... Maybe some Junkie Fiber ... But idk if he does hondas.

    i definitely love the grey/blk scheme...the was going to be the original scheme but then i started thinking a nice dark red accent would look good..
    and im definitely going with a black engine regardless of anything else..
    and i also thought about the carbon fiber plastics..id really like to see how they look on the bike

    im not really lookin to stand out..just want something that looks good and very clean like wheelies
    when its that clean/smooth looking..it stands out..
    the only other thing is i want the one piece front or so i think..

    as of right now my plastics dont align nicely..the seat doesnt go all the way up and theres a gap between it and the plastics
    also my rear plastics dont stay where they should and im missing a seat gromet as well..

    this is my biggest worry is that ill get new plastics/seat and it still wont align properly..
    wheelie urs look beautiful..did u have any issues aligning the plastics..also were the previous plastics unaligned ??

    Thanks for the compliments.

    I didn't have any plastic alignment issues before the rebuild. The rear Maier plastic fit well and required little tweaking to get it to look right. The front was more difficult, it ultimately came out looking decent.

    The key to installing aftermarket plastics is take your time, mock fit them several times until you get the look and fit that you'll be happy with. Be patient, it will pay off in the end.
