i don't have a 100% positive for you but stock 400s from 99 to 04 were pretty much the same aside from from minor body stuff. I would like to say that it would not be a direct bolt on....

though anything is possible with time and money....

i did a ebay hunt for you but came up empty......but dont give up.. fender mounts should be easy to modify ,or make ...in the go kart racing world all the fender mounts are customisable for various frame plastic applacations ....some of these type mounts may work for you as well...good luck
