400ex plastic on a 250R

[dune250r]

Anybody ever put 400EX plastic on a 250R? I saw one at SandLake dunes in Oregon. I want to know how hard it would be to do that.

Thanks for reminding me.... I bought a brand new set of 400ex plastic for my R including the ex light and seat but have not done anything with it as of yet. It has been up in the rafters for about a year now. I saw and add in Dirt Wheels some time ago about installing the 400ex plastic on an R but was never able to get the company name or phone number for a mount kit. Anyone able to help? From what I can tell the seat brackets from the R seat need to be applied to the EX seat, or the frame on the R needs modified......

I have seen it b4 at the races around here a guy had a 89 wit yellow platic i never did ask him how he did it. i know its possible to do though.

you have to trim the flat part off of the front seat mounts..(the plastic hooks on the front of the seat)..i think you'll see what i mean when you look at it..as for the fornts you on your own but i think the stock 400's front mounts work the same on the 250

One of the guys at my local Honda shop has 400 plastic, but I think that they put a R motor in a 400 frame. I am going there tonight or tomarrow, I will ask.

Does anyone by chance have the article that was in the Atving magazine? If so any chance you could scan it?

Thanks

i can't scan anything but i can find out some phone numbers of the company that makes all the necessary brackets to convert the plastic over.it will probably take a day or so,myfriend has the article so he can change his r to ex plastic....
