Making a bumper fit is easy enough. The arm situation can be corrected with with an arm combo that Weston came up with. Best to PM him about it.

I think it was 400ex upper and 97 and up lowers for the a-arm combo

true but you cant get extended ones. also you are limited to the stock bumper. and finding those parts can be a bitch. plus i like the look of the second gens better. and the fact that a lot of the electrical parts are interchangeable 97-01 i believe. and that makes all the difference in the world.

What do mean look better??? I can't tell a difference . And you mentioned interchangeable electrics I'm using all 2000 parts on a 87.

like the way the lights are up top (i know it sounds ridiculous). and yeah the electrical for like the motor. you are running 2000 stuff in an 87 frame. i am talking about like cdi and stuff like that. and all the plugs, cdi, and coils/stators are different throughout the years.

But you are correct they all interchange from 97-01. I found a whole wiring harness, cdi, Reg, and ignition off a guy here for 80 bucks shipped! I love my 98.
