Putting New Plastics on the 400ex

Hey man where did you purchase the hood from. I’m looking all over for one 😂

[@TylerMcNabb137]

I bought it directly from fourwerx. I think that’s about the only place you can buy it. www.fwcarbon.com/collections/fwc-trx300x/products/99-05-trx400ex-xs-carbon-fiber-hood

Hey serious question where did you get your plastics and would they fit a 2003 400 ex I’m looking to upgrade my plastics

[@TylerMcNabb137]

They are just oem Honda plastics for the 99-04 400ex’s and the headlight assembly has been cutoff and replaced with a carbon fiber hood from fourwerx. You can get them through any dealership or websites like Rocky Mountain ATV, Motorsport, partzilla, etc…

[@itsedge.]

Did the front plastics come made for the hood already? Or did you have to cut out the headlight plastic?

[@TylerMcNabb137]

I had to trim off the headlight assembly

[@samramsey3016]

Hey man what all did you have to do to put the 450 hood on the 400ex?

[@TylerMcNabb137]

It’s actually not a 450 hood, it’s a fourwerx carbon fiber hood made specifically for the 99-04 400ex’s. All I had to do was trim off the headlight assembly up by the handle bars and then drill a couple holes in the plastics for the mounting push pins. It’s really pretty easy. Just take your time and it’ll look really good.

[@damienreisenweber3380]

wouldn't the headlight plastics get in the way of the hood? i really like the hood and have a 02 400ex and was wondering how the hood goes on before i spend money ordering it

[@TylerMcNabb137]

Yes it does, that’s why you just chop it off and get rid of it. I don’t use my headlights with racing xc so it didn’t matter to me. I just started by slowly taking off more and more until it got down right about flush with the gas tank plastics and the fit nice and flush. It’s one of those things that you just take your time and continue to do some test fitting while your removing plastic material. Then, once it fits how you like it, you attach the hood and call it good.

[@evan_grimps1853]

You have to cut you plastics

[@skittlesmodz2939]

where did you relocate your key switch to after putting the hood on? and did you get rid of the neutral light?

[@TylerMcNabb137]

Yes I got ride of my neutral light and my key just sat down in the bracket on the front of the steering stem clamp. Then later on I ended up getting a houser stem clamp and their key bracket. That’s what I’m using now.

[@bandoo6452]

do you know if they sell that hood and plastic in the 400ex yellow?

[@TylerMcNabb137]

Yeah, the plastics are OEM so if you order them from Honda, you can get the yellow plastics. The hood however only comes in the raw carbon fiber finish.

[@offroadingproductions782]

Can you give us a link for the plastics

[@TylerMcNabb137]

I just ordered mine from my local shop. They are just OEM plastics. However you get them on any oem sight like partzilla, Rocky Mountain ATV, or motosport. Here is the link to partzilla though: www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/atv/2000/trx400ex-a-fourtrax-400ex

Hey where did you order the OEM plastics?

[@TylerMcNabb137]

I ordered mine through my local shop but you can get them on websites like partzilla.com, rockymountainatvmc.com, motosport.con etc.. Any website that sells oem parts should allow you to order plastics.

What year is you 400ex

[@TylerMcNabb137]

2000

[@coltonhughes888]

Do you know we’re some 300ex parts are

[@TylerMcNabb137]

Not off hand, but if your looking for used stuff, Facebook marketplace and Facebook groups are a good place to look. In terms of new stuff you can check out the website of the brand you want or an all around website like Rocky Mountain ATV/MC would have parts as well.

[@gagemoore546]

Where did you get the air shrouds from

[@TylerMcNabb137]

The air shrouds that are on it in this video I’m honestly not sure, they were on when I bought the quad. However, I have since put a set of CFM air shrouds on it, I have a video on that on my channel if you want to check it out.

[@samramsey3016]

Hey man sorry to bug but what all do you have done to the motor?

[@TylerMcNabb137]

No problem man, so the basics of it are wiseco 88mm, 11:1 high compression piston, so 426cc, stage 2 hot cam, crf450 timing chain, lightened flywheel, barnett clutch system, full hmf exhaust and a 450r carb to feed it fuel and air. Nothing crazy motor wise, there is no head work or anything like that on it and all the other internals like the crank is still oem. One of the best engine mods you can do that is highly underrated is the lightened flywheel. That makes a very large difference in waking the 400’s up.

[@samramsey3016]

Look up southern kentucky motor sports (SKM). Get in contact with them and they can hook you up. It’s an old PRM summit front bumper. Long story short, PRM went out of business and now SKM bought all of they’re stuff and is making the bumpers again.

I have the air scoops on the sides to bring more air towards the engine but the major thing is I bought a small 4” SPAL fan and mounted it on the oil cooler and it dropped the oil temperature about 40 degrees.
