[@brentpfeiffer4043]

Sick build man! Glad to see im not the only one trying to make a competitive 400ex these days. Such a solid base to build exatly like you want. I run alot of the same stuff. But for xc i have to ask why no flexx bars?

[@tylersteinmetz7949]

I like Flexx bars, but the clamps are a simple design that just felt more comfortable to me! Both work well though!

[@conniestevenson226]

He explained that they made the bars to busy.or at least look busy.which they do. But they are nice bars.but just another thing to maintain. i actually bought a fabric that has a rubber flexible side to it, that i cut and made to go over the pivot pin area of the flex bars to keep dirt and mud and water off them so it doesnt wash the grease out or get it grime inside the frictional points. it definitly eleminates the need to maintain them really at all actually. it stretchs so it can stay tight on the bars as they flex and pivot. I sewed velcro straps on them to hold them on. So you just wrap the strap around After you lay the fabric piece down. I have one for each side of the bars so it doesnt cover the middle crossbar pad at all.

You bike looks great! Could you tell me who makes your oil tank and air box lid?

[@donniegardner6294]

Plus 1” or plus 2” on the a arms?

[@tylersteinmetz7949]

Sorry I've missed your comment, there were +1s for xc, to bring width out to about 47.5" wide roughly. Again this was a xc setup!!

[@joshuahebert7100]

I'm going to count how many times you say really one of these times

Reaching back out to see if you counted!

[@miguelgaviria5836]

I don’t know if went over it in the video but what hood is that on your 400 because I’ve been looking for a carbon hood for the 2005 400 but fourwerx only makes them for the 99 and 04 models

[@tylersteinmetz7949]

Order a 04 450r hood, . Pit 2 new holes in for the upper slip in slots, drill the 2 lower fender pop its. And good to go

[@drakekennedy7060]

Was the EHS lid conversion worth it? I've been wanting to get one for my 2002 400ex

[@tylersteinmetz7949]

Benefit of no airbox lid. With air filter protection. For xc. It was definitely worth it

[@anthonycorso6479]

Where is the key and lights?

[@tylersteinmetz7949]

Deleted, race harness, and 450r hood with headlights deleted.

[@rzl07375]

The little can on top of the head pipe does that come on all Empires?

No, special order. Tell Eric you want it. And he can do it!

What kind of air box is that? I see on the right side the breather thing is blocked off

[@tylersteinmetz7949]

Stock airbox. Stock airbox tube.

[@-IMPALA-TRXR]

What fourwerks hood are you running. And what did u have to do to make it fit?

[@nationalblake5743]

What’s the jetting on it? I have a fcr41 on mine and I’m having a really hard time getting it dialed in. Bogs on the lower end

[@tylersteinmetz7949]

Depending on the .otor build. 41fcr could be to much carb, causing lower end to be "doggy". Unfortunately I'm not sure what jets were in it. Something says 180 and 42. But I cant remember.

does the empire exhuast sell a shorty?

[@tylersteinmetz7949]

Yes. They sell a shorty, standard 12 and a 16inch can!

[@The400exboys]

Do u have a 450r good on 400ex plastics?

[@The400exboys]

450r hood

[@tylersteinmetz7949]

Yes, this wS a 450r hood. Minor modifications they fit great. Use thev04-05 hood, being the headlights were same theyre really close to perfect fit. I had to razor blade some slots for the hook tabs on hood to latch into fenders. Quick simple modification that really puts a nice tough on them

[@JIL2023]

What nerf bars are those

[@tylersteinmetz7949]

These were old school houser nerf bars... unfortunately they don't make these anymore for the 400ex. And the nerfs they do make are a new design, and didnt work as good! If I built another machine I'd probably choose factory 43. Or rath!
