w-t-f why u no rebuild my bike? I live closer. DICK :bird: :lol: And: where the f**k do you get time to rebuild other quads besides your own? I dont even have time to wash mine LOL
still sexier than your bike ;)
does it have larm protection?
Be ready for the rally??
PC the stator/clutch/waterpump covers blue to match the frame...maybe see if you can get a clear cam cover backing anondized in blue.
clear radiator hoses, then use engine ice
and, you need at least 10 more strings of LED's
leave the duct tape intake. Nobody else has that. Stay unique. :thumbs: :lol:
They are 4/1 now, if you go to a 2/3 that'll put it back to 50"
How about some bligin' wheels?
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a195/preddy08/wheel.jpg)
I love those OMF, especially the lite ones.... uber sexy. I wonder how lite they are versus the blue labels. That bumper with the lights are pimp.
Clear hoses that i've found so far.
http://www.wocoengr.com/wocohose.htm
With engine ice this will be a very cool effect. To one-up it, try adding an LED effect for night riding behind the hoses.
Get the 12cell lithium like troy got from the ebay guy.
2-3 rims? If your getting custom shocks a rebuild i wouldnt cheap out and gain width with rims get some nice arms and 4/1s will probably ride Way better. Ive seen the clear hoses on the "shocker" turbo bike maybe ask where he got em.Fundip, it already has brand new Houser +2.25 Lt's on it. The fronts are at 4/1 offset, I would like to go back to 3/2 offset which is the same as stock.
PS 2-3 offset sucks
We're gonna need pics of the tear down.... :P
Sawn the stabilizer has been blown since the last LS rally. It's now yours to do with at your choosing, party on.
Sooo why's the motor still in the frame?
Blue ASV hydraulic clutch kit :woot:

Are the arms going to be included with the PC?
Just Shipped out the +2 extended stock Swing-Arm today :thumbs:
Hope you love it :thumbs:
Thx again, Darryll @ Out Back Welding
CANDY BLUE, CANDY BLUE, CANDYBLUE AND CHROME!!
I'm thinking the mid/sub frame need to be chrome, swinger blue, hubs white with blue/polished OMF wheels, full exhaust ceramic-chrome, cans polished, can straps PCed blue, blue heat shields and barker badge, get the houser grab bar blue, all swing arm acc. chrome.
I like the idea of:Black swinger, I think the blue is gonna be a lil to much.
Chrome chain, instead of blue, especially if the swinger is gonna be black.
What size sprockets? 14/36 (2.57) or 15/38 (2.53)? I don't know why, but the bigger set seems like it would have less stress. However the smaller (14/36) has a slight more grunt and ground clearance. 14/36????

whats are you running for tires? Size? You ever ride dirt trails or strictly sand. I've got less mods than you & pull 15/36 & its less shifting on the trails. Plenty of TQ to lug it down if needed. The 36 aids on swinger clearance for sure

Did you get a new tail piece?
I was hoping to score one on ebay but I havent seen one. So I'll just order a new tail light and tail piece soon.
Thanks Tony....
Preddy, you cant get the OMF in the colors we need except for the beadlocks... Soooooooo I was thinking, see what Steve can get 2 sets for.... I might buy the ones we need and a second set for the other bike... Especially if he can get a hella good deal going.

I've got one off triple buff bead to bead 8 paddle edges on 8x7 blue labels on sand. On dirt I run 22x9 GNCC's on stockers. I've played with gearing quite a bit and know that I would never ever run higher then a 15/38. I like torque and quick throttle response, high way gears are just that, highway gears. I'm an aggressive rider, sand, dirt, trails, or whatever and I need the grunt. Put me on the line next to a build exactly like mine except 14/36 on mine and 15/36 on the other, I'll win every time. I know this for a fact. One tooth could mean the difference of winning and losing. Example, Idaho Rally last year. Bikes Colorodo700 and mine. Thunder hill. I was running 14/36, pulled Aaron by over a bike and change. I wasted a sprocket and changed to a 15/38, I couldn't pull away from Aaron after that. That one iddy biddy change up cost me a bike length. I'll most likely go 14/36 and call it a day, less centrifugal force.
Ooooo, tempted to go in on that and sweeten the deal asking Steve for a 3rd set.
Those will be some amazing wheels

Thanks for the insight Gunny. When I run 15/36 gears & 20" tires that would be the same as 14/36 & 22"s right? I may have to play with my gearing again.
anyone know where to get a colored bolt kit? I see plenty for sport bikes, but I dont think that will work well for the raptor.
Got in the swinger today. Looks AMAZING! +2 stocker from Outback Welding.

Copy on the 2 sets of complete beadlocks. I will see what I can do. Im not a high volume dealer so pricing kind of blows on my end. The OMF are the cream of the crop on beadlocks and unfortunately so is their high pricing so this dumps a lot of our customers over to Hiper wheels instead. Are you looking at the billet centers with the powdercoating just like in the picture?
Also what year is this raptor?

For Mikes bike(s) we want some of the 10" fronts and 8x7" rear with no beadlocks and the scallops with the billet centers. One set blue and one set pink. Stock offset.

So, what do you guys thing about these headlights? We'd run them with HIDS. The only problem is they are expensive and a little unproven around these parts.

Mikey, the billet parts last quite a bit longer between polishing. From what I've seen they just need a good power washing after a ride. Maybe a good hand cleaning once a year.

John tore the motor down. He said it looked like it was rode hard, ???. It had a blown head gasket, one of the springs was possibly sticking, and the piston was a little rough. Tranny was shipped out to R&D and the crank was shipped to Crank Works (I think).
Here's the first proof of the graphics. I'll change it to "Gunny" instead of 4gunz4x4z

Shike (= Shawn and Mike), are you going to try that Head Gasket fix that Woofers67 is talking about on MR? Grooving the cylinder and installed a ring in the head to create a "wall". I got his number, I was going to try it.

I dont understand this.... Is he claiming it's new tech? Because hasn't bo been oringing cylinders since like 07? ??? or maybe I'm misreading something.
I'm pretty sure Bo o-rings cylinders exactly like the D7 guys. Receiving groove in the cylinder and head and .040" stainless steel wire.
John told me he had a stock head-tb boot for you. He's gonna punch it out. The Crank got some weight added to it and the center pin replaced. Tranny will be back next week. Darren said all the dog-ears were rounded off. R&D is doing a procut to the tranny, next best thing to apple pie. You probably won't get the motor back until the end of August. I told him to throw a 14:1 in there, but he wasn't sure if they had a 106 14:1 piston.
Isnt that the Streamline hydraulic clutch kit with an ASV lever? I thought those were reviewed as having an ON/OFF clutch feel and also leaking during operation?

I didn't hear about leaking, but I did hear about the on/off feel to it.. that wouldn't be cool.
Looks like they did an awesome job with the powder. I just hope all of the blue doesn't blend together...a few of those pieces would have looked great in chrome just to break it up some (brake stay, headlight brackets, exhaust tips, etc). When you have that much of one color, sometimes it is hard to distinguish between the smaller different parts unless you are really close. Just my opinion though, either way...it will still look great.
It was probably mentioned, but you are going with the factory color plastics, right? White fenders, blue topper and hood?

Chrome the rear grab bar if the front is going to have some too. Should have done the exhaust tips in chrome too

I would like to get rid of the stock control switch then I'd need some thing to run the headlights and so on. Honestly I think it would be best to keep it.
This IMS lever is a REALLY nice piece! Very solid.
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a195/preddy08/DSC00608.jpg)
Did you get the Lonestar hubs handled?
Are those Pro Bolts strong enough to hold the controls together? Did you X the precision clamps? Double check the rear spocket, I've got a funny feeling its a 37 or 39, rather have the 15/38 combo.
I still think these would have been bad ass, especially if the housings were powder coated white then dual HID's added.

Stock is 14/38...
IMS shifters are nowhere to be found. So I got your old shifter into the chromer.

Shawn, if you get a chance take a pic of the hood on the frame. I want to see how far its off.....
BTW, send me a link of Brit's graphics....
Where did you get the LED light's, I need to get a roll for Tonto so he can put them on the other bike.
Whats up with the current headlights and bezels? Im pretty sure both bezels are broke and the headlights are dull.
Why does hers still say 795?
Whats up with the current headlights and bezels? Im pretty sure both bezels are broke and the headlights are dull.
I'm going to have to order new everything. I found a company on ebay that sells headlights for 45 a piece and the bezels are 45 for both sides.
Also got the hubs figured out. They are a bit stiff ATM, but should loosen up over time.
Whats your thoughts on keeping the E-Brake. If it were me I'd ditch it.

Maybe send them a new plain oem hood and topper and have them do a candy blue carbon on them.
How sexy are those hubs gonna look behind the OMF wheels!

As long as the plastics don't get cut, I guess it doesn't matter. From china, you're asking for a 30 day delivery time.
Run it on Alcohol/Methanol
Looking good, just 2 things that jump out at me...
why not a new coolant overflow bottle? and have you looked at any of the guards for them for extra flair?
And no custom warning labels?
So what did you guys decide to do with the tank topper and hood? The skull theme or blue CF with flames?
How about something like this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Raptor-700-700R-CFM-Coolant-Bottle-Guard-NEW-/170685211697?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27bda1a431
The warning labels look fine.... I rather have the stock labels vs the aftermarket aluminum. I think they look tacky. Bleach that coolant overflow, it'll look like new. Just cap the end and fill it up with water and bleach. The intentions of this bike was to freshen up a 4 year old bike that has been ridden hard and put up wet way to many times. It was showing some serious wear, inside and out. The tranny needed rebuilt, the subframe was tore up, I needed a new swinger, half the cables were trashed, the paint and plastics were trashed. This is not intended to be a show bike. never was and still isn't. Preddy was given instructions to totally disassemble the bike and build it back up. Replace any worn parts and go with candy blue and chrome ,staying with the SE2 theme.
Is that the HEP guard? They will PC a bunch of different colors i think too.

FYI gunny. I found out you had LT arms and standard travel shocks. If you thought those rode half way decent, then these Ekals will blow your mind!

No sir I can't. That was one SICK conversion you did. I might see if I can one up ya :P
Took the bike to the track today.... FREAK"N loved the bike and the way it handled. The motor still has a shitty gasket leak from Racers Edge, but other then that she was tight. I aired her out a couple of dozen times and she held together. One of the heat sheilds vibrated off, but thats to be expected. Hitting up Little Sahara next weekend.
PS the horn sucks ass and it doesn't glow at night.... :rolleyes:
I love my chrome frame and my bad ass 1 off Elkas that were built by Wiig. I think Wiigstyle racing is awesome and I will send every set of shocks I ever buy to him to have built to my specs. They handle soooo well. Whoops at wide open throttle, tight trails without picking up the corners, Nice high jumps with plush landings. You name it, my Elkas are sweet. Am I brand loyal, nope... Will I buy elkas again, who knows, what I do know is that wiig built them perfect.
Mike's bike just got dropped off the other day and I'm going to do a FULL rebuild on this tank! I plan on doing a full powder coating of the frame and misc parts. All the wear items will be replaced. Basicly make it better than new led tubes (http://www.niceledlights.com/category/led-lights/led-tube/) . Its been rode hard and put away wet.....many times. Its going to be quite a task, but I cant wait to see the turn out :woot:
It will be rebuilt with all the best parts, built strong, and built to ride......HARD! Every bolt getting locktite, every electrical plug getting greesed, everything lubed up and ready to roll!
I plan on doing picture updates as I go.
