Recently my brother was killed during a convoy while stationed in Iraq. He bought a new KFX400 before he left and now I have inherited it. I found a wish list for parts and ordered all of them as my brother would want it, am I headed the right direction?

Frame Powdercoated blue metallic
Meijer Black plastics
Weisco 440 Kit
Hotcams Intake and Exhaust
Ported and Polished Head
DMC alien Pipe
Barnett clutch with Hinson basket and pressure plate
Dynatec Programmable CDI
Alba +2 A-arms
Eyeball Engineering +2 swingarm
Durablue 2+2 axle
triple rate Elkas
aluminum oil tank and airbox
K&N filter
Hyper Carbon fiber wheels 10x6 / 9x9
Holeshots
Pro-armor nerfs / bumper / grab bar
Big bar kit with clamp and speedo thingy
stainless steel braided brakelines
skidplates
aftermarket rotors (dont remember off hand)
sprockets 13/40

I think thats it, what else can I do now?

I thought I had better post in here as well as the kawi section

I'm sorry about your bro.

You could get air scoops, +1 steering stem, steering dampner, and hand gards.

Update. I have almost everything done, with the exception of the Front A-arms and the Elka's. The Elka's made it in the mail yesterday and I'm hoping for the A-arms before the weekend. I still have to do a fireup this weekend being that I was set back after breaking one of the ears off of the clutch hub while changing out the clutch. New part arrived and ready to put it back together. Anyways, I need to get my camera out again, but I've been busy lately, so I've only really taken one picture.

PICTURE IS IN MY PROFILE.

very sorry about your brother, he gave his life for all of us. america needs to quite protesting the we are in the war and accept that they arent going to change that and instead support the people that are in the war. becuase its becuase of people that fight for america that give hippies like them the right to pro test. again very sorry bout your bro im sure he would be very pleased with his bike.

My shocks arrived the night before last, however I am still waiting on the Alba A-Arms. They should be here tonight. I will most likely fire the engine tomorrow if everything goes okay. I'm waiting on new Castle Nuts from Dura-blue, and a few other odds and ends like grips and a couple bolts, but other than putting it together this weekend, its almost done.

I'll take more pictures this weekend.
