    Third Honda 400ex added to the collection.This one is a little rough! While we are rebuilding the other 400ex we can work on this one. Does anyone have suggestions on what I should do with this quad?!

      I'd use the the bottom end out of this one for the blown up 400 and use the aftermarket muffler for the good 400 along with the Nerf bars off the blown up 400 for the good 400 and whatever left over parts to build a third bike to sell to get back some of the money from all 3 bikes

      Jered Almeida I hear you. We just found a fl400 that’s five minutes from my house. he had it listed for 6000 but we talked him down to 5500 and it came with all the paper work and it doesn’t need anything. But there definitely quality machines. But they suck in trails cause there a 2 stroke and there Cvt driven so it’s hard to keep it in the high rpms So you don’t foul out the plug in the trails. But there getting rarer and rarer every year and there just plain cool and you never see them anymore except the dunes. And yeah ur so right about the overpriced listing there was at least 4-5 listings that people were asking 12000 or more for a Pilot.
