Nice! You should invest in some 450r shocks, I heard they do wonders on a 400ex.

Life's to short, wear a helmet.
Dress for the crash, not for the ride.

do they bolt up directly or is there modification needed? id like to get some and have them redone for my weight and type of riding.

yeah they bolt right up, gearhead400 got them on his 400ex and the only thing that rubs a tiny bit is at the top of the shock mount, it touches where the fender bolt goes, but it doesn't effect anything

Just knock of the welded in nut for the fender mount and use a carriage bolt. "spelling"? I have had a bunch of ex's let me know if you have any questions about the bike.
