Mad Dog, thanks for the reply. Tim did my "03" 686 build back in 05 or 06 and used one of his stock length rods. I thought I would never have trouble with it again. I am not sure why it let go.
My other 01 Raptor has a Ebay "02" lower unit, with a Vito's 720 kit, dual Monsters, 35mm FCR's. The quad runs great but I never ride it, usually my brother, son, or friends ride it.
I want to rebuild my "03" into something faster than the "01". I don't see the 720 kit listed on Vito's website anymore... I tried calling them but nobody answered, are they still in business? This quad also has dual Monsters plus 39mm FCR's. I bought the FCR's from Geisick performance a few years ago and see he has big bore kits listed. I am thinking another 720 kit plus head work, or... part the quad, sell the other, and get a RZR XP.
I am wide open to suggestions or recommended sources for parts or builders.
