    Louis's trx400ex to atc400ex conversion build

    I picked up this a month or so ago for a good price. $1300



    And then I stumbled accross another for $460 and had this mess in my garage.



    The second quad had a good bit of aftermarket stuff on it so I transfered all the best quad parts to make a pretty decent shaped quad. And then there where the left overs... hmmm... what to do...

    If you can't tell I've already done a good bit of work and I'm just slipping out some progress pics

    Down tube is pretty beefy. Will probably have to have a notch cut into it to clear the head pipe but I'm not quite far enough to be sure on that.

    Everyone is really concerned about what I'm going to do with this!? Apparently it's a big problem or something?



    I just kinda say whatever, lets cut it up. That'll solve it.

    Oh I'm not building a tank Gregory, but with Louis also owning an XR650L I'd bet the oil is going in the down tube. :-)

    I'm not putting it in the frame. That's the one thing I actually dislike about my XR.
