@swampgumpharpy7977

6 жыл бұрын

That's blue, plastic conduit. I took mine off because, although it looks good in pictures, it looks a little cheap in person. That's just my opinion.

Were to buy the "air/wind callers"?

Hey I wanted to know the name of the “air cals” you talked about. They are the plates and have “RPO powersports HMF” on both sides right underneath the front fenders

Very nice built. I'm building a 2007 400ex and I'm wanting the red black beadlocks like that? What size is ur front and rear wheels/tires. I can only find rears. Also the blue wire cover from ur rear brake lines up where did u find that?

I want to add that the 400ex or 400x is absolutely the best ATV if you don't want the fastest quad but a fast quad that is super reliable and fun. Best option if you have three grand or less. I live in Michigan and when I go up to the dunes half of what you see you up there are Hondas like this some of them even have big bore kits and Run with the 450s no problem. Half the time it's hard to even tell the difference because they have extended rear axles and extended a arms. You have to look at the plastics and headlight to determine what model it is

Really nice build. Great job. I have an '07 that I am thinking of doing some mods to. How much cooler does that air shroud keep the bike?

@swampgumpharpy7977

7 жыл бұрын

CFM Performance claims a 5-degree decrease in temps evident in their test results. The oil cooler shows a decrease in operating temperature of around 20 degrees. I believe that, with the use of the shrouds, oversize oil cooler, and wrapping the headers, I'm probably running around 30 degrees cooler. This estimation is based entirely off of somebody else's test results, and not my own. Thanks for having a look and commenting.

So I'm a little late but I recently got a 400ex and the oil tank is so close to the exhaust that it already blew the pistons once, do you have a recommendation on what to do becasue I see you didnt move your?

do you have any pics of how you wired everything when you put the battery box on? Also, on the cmf air scoops. Doesn't that bolt hole go to the flare thats missing on your bike? I thought they just go right in without any modification. you have another hole you drilled through the flare to bolt the scoop on. just curious after watching this video i went and bought some but they don't look like they bolt straight on. did you have to do any shaving to get the top mount to screw on? Thanks and awesome build man!

Late answer, I know, but yes, I did drill holes for the fenders to mount on the shrouds. I had forgotten that.
