like it says i have a dune 150 as most of you guys on here already know from all my post.. well im tired of putting money in this darn thing and it still not being a half rear end pos.. so im selling off all my gy6 stuff.. including all my new clutch rollers springs bell variator motor everything..
and i have bought a 99 honda 400ex for me a donor for the motor and rearend and maybe some brakes and im gonna try to fab the spindles and orther odds and ends to beef up this pos.. i know alot of people have done alot of the swaps similar to this.. so if you know of any write ups that is similar to this please pm or post me a link to them.. i was hoping someone might have already done a dune 400ex swap... any info is appreciated.. here some pix to get ya a lil excited

i figured some of you guys would be excited about this...

If you really want to peg out my excito-meter, send that baby to Vegas. Don't forget to upgrade the suspension. That Dune will be a beast with that 400cc motor.

Hey does that thing run good? Reverse? What are you doing to the rear end? Solid axle or irs? If you dont mind, what did the quad set you back?

I love it brother so dont worry. The others are just mad cause they dont have a 400

Pretty sure they didnt start putting reverse on them until a few years back. It will still be a bad little dude.

1. Remove the front end off the quad
2. Remove the buggy rear swing arm
3. Attach the rear of the quad to the buggy
4. Run controls and wiring

Two full weekends should have this project running.

but that rear end of the quad will suck as suspension there is nothing like irs

Yea I f I was doing a swap I would do IRS at the same time. Greg knows what I'm talking about I'm sure

If you want IRS, you are going to have more fabrication of engine cage and arms and the additional cost of an articulated axle. This will easily double the length of this project and add to the cost.

thanx guys im glad someones out there... i dunno about the reverse i thought it did b/c my buddy had one that did but his is a 07... so that is bad news to hear.. but oh well.. yah runs fine.. i cranked it today and it run perfect.. i was told that it had the 440cc big bore kit on it installed last summer.. yah irs would be nice but i just want to get it going so im leaving all the 400 rear end on it and putting the swing arm on the buggy.. be ALOT easier and cheaper considering i have everything here i need and i would have to buy all that stuff extra.. today i swapped out the front spindles brakes wheels and tires... so i already fixed my baja pos spindles that were all warped up as seen in my previous post.. so im now running 22x7x10s up front made the buggy look 100x better just getting the bigger tires on it.. plus the hubs wheels and tires all look so much better than the bajas... my computer died this morning so im on my labtop now. ill upload some pix of the new front end tommrow
