As we all know, I've dumped around $50,000-$60,000 in my personal raptor and another $25,000 in my other raptors. I think I've earned the right as a consumer to have an opinion on the products, builders, and resources offered to us on a daily basis. With that said, I'm gonna add a product or service every day or so that I have had the privilege to use and offer my opinion on it, take it for what its worth, either it be shit or gold. If I haven't giving a description to a product that you are in the market for, please feel free to ask... there is a good chance that I have used the product you are in the market for.

My build

Swinger: Stock swingarm modified by dpe_ele

Known fact, I've got over 70hp... so I've been rocking a +4 swinger. I had dpe_ele build me a +2 modified stock swinger, one of the best mods ever. By going from a +4 to +2 I've gained some cornering back. Also by going with a cast aluminum swinger vs an aftermarket I dropped a noticeable amount of weight. A modified stock swinger FTMFW win! I've broke several aftermarkets and there is no way in hell I will ever by an aftermarket swinger again. Dpe_ele made me a superior product, props to him.

i think there is a fine balance between giving a review on a product that didnt fit or function as antisipated or totally Blasting it if you have frustrations with its use or install

I recently replaced my ASV levers to ASV shorty levers, for me I think it was a big mistake to go with shorty's. I have man hands and for some reason I could not get a grip with the shorty's. I have since reverted back to the longer ASV's. I have owned 5 pairs and have yet to break any of them. I have broke plenty of OEM and aftermarket levers.

Shortys ASV




Now Kenz and Brit have Shorty ASV's on their Raptor's neither of them have any complaints, then again Kenz is 10 and Brits hands aren't much bigger then his. I also like the clutch adjustment on their shortys, my regular ASV's don't have this option... I wish they did. My opinions on ASV are they are a must have lever. Shortys for the kids and chicks, regulars for the Men.

the pro-pack comes with the upgraded quick adjuster and a much nicer perch think they are C-5's

Personally never been a fan of the shorties either as you dont have as much control with them, and pulling a heavier clutch then stock becomes a hassle

Even with DL's springs and 5 washers underneigth of those I still use 2 fingers to shift and brake. I pretty much leave my fingers on the levers at all times. With the OEM levers I have no complaints.

Faast Flexx bars..... If you don't own a set, you are losing out. I have purchased 4 pairs so far. Every quad I buy will recieve a pair. These bars are awesome! I even put a set on my 10yr olds bike. $350 is a bit excessive, but once you buy a set you won't regret it. Arm pump is a thing of the past with these.




I'll tell you what, If I can get 50 "Im in's" on a monthly give away, I'll give a brand new set away, but only if I can get the winning person to give a complete write up on them.
