    400ex conversion?

    I found a 2001 honda 400ex on craigslist with a 440 big boar and some other mods. It peaked my interest because it seems to be a good deal, but I don't like riding quads that much.
    So I'm curious as to how hard it is to convert for somebody with decent welding skills and access to a basic welding shop. And what kind of mechanical mods are nessasary.
    Thanks,
    "D"

    Yes, that's the one that gave me the real want to build this, I just want to know the bare things that need to be done mechanical wise. His has a lot of mechanical mods that I don't what they even are.

    Bunch of mechanical mods? Pretty sure I've only been doing whats necessary to build a conversion. Feel free to ask questions on the build thread etc etc. I don't mind explaining what I'm doing. It's not like its some big secret that I'm afraid everyone will try to copy me. I put it on the internet. It's only inevitable that someone else will try to build something similar.

    Read Louis Mielke thread ten times from page one to page?

    It will all come together, then any questions you have just ask there are many talanted builders on the boards including Louis.
