I didnt measure it but ABM says its 3.5" or so. The front and rear kit that I bought was 160 shipped.

wow. White and black raptor :thumbs:

Nice ASV's ;)

Shaved fenders.. It's been a while since I've seen your quad!!!

WOW... No YFZ Rears! Full Flight A-arms!  You've been away for to long :lol:

That's a huge drop did you notice any difference in the ride with such a big change in the shock dynamics?

Its actually easier to turn the handlebars now lol. It handles great with a tad bit of controlable oversteer.

Are you running a temp guage on the rappy?

If so. Did you notice any difference in running temps between the radiator not painted vs painting?

Krandall

I was interested in painting my radiator so i asked an acquaintance of mine that used to own a radiator shop if there would be any ill effect to painting a rad. 

He said there would be no problems at all... just to use some brake clean to clean the rad ahead of time, and use a thin coat of a paint like Krylon, with no primer.

Nice looking ride dude... looks mean that low


i am thinking i am going to do it to mine this winter.

Awesome looking ride dude. I have YFZ's on the front of mine and it's almost the same thing. Are you going to trim the head light brakets? I'm kind of looking for a second set to trim and powder coat. I don't like them floating out there like that. Even with my fenders it doesn't hide them worth crap  ???
