I'm glad i seen it at Silver Lake cause pics dont show up at work       About time Mike got with the times

I do my best to hide my shame

I just didn't want to be that hard on the clutch, after all it's an 06 and that clutch is ancient in raptor years.

[Krandall]

It looks good in pics. Even better in person!!!

A stock clutch on a 700 3 mod will last almost forever in my expierence.  I hammered the hell out of mine and it was still good when we took out the motor...I think I adjusted it once in 2 years

I was wondering when this was going to show up on the boards...lol.  Good looking quad, but not what I expected to see you on at Silver Lake last time.

Mine is slipping like mad, but that is after a few hundred (if not thousands by now) WOT 2nd gear launches in the sand.  DD lockout coming in a few weeks to replace it.

So why was I kept in the dark?  I wouldn't give you too much crap.......well, maybe.

That bike is clean MD.  Very nice looking ride.

BTW, I'm still on my original clutch (and chain and sprockets), and I do have some hours on my bike.

Congrats Mike, very nice, clean and dang! good upgrades already installed.
