Nice trike!

So what are the benefits of installing a 400ex carb/header?

What year 400ex carbs will fit what year 350x's? (I'm considering this on my '86)

Are there any additional parts or modifications required?

Thanks

I believe the header has an improved collector design and larger diamter pipes to outflow the factory 350X exhaust, but requires some fitment (I've heard behind the kickstart it doesn't clear so it needs to be cut/grinded/rewelded). You might be better off buying an actual perfromance pipe.

As far as the carb I believe it's a direct swap but might take some work to fit over the intake boot. You gain a few mm's (34->38mm) as well as an accelerator pump which is a huge bonus.
