I want to be able to ride MX with my 07 raptor. If you have modified suspension and are riding MX with it, please let me know what you did for A-arms and shocks. I'm not sure if I need long travel and new shocks or if I should just re-spring and re-valve my stockers and stick with the stock A-arms.

In all honesty I'd just call up WiigStyle Racing and see what he can do for you. He's a dealer for alot of aftermarket shock, he can revalve your stocker, or hook you up with a 100% custom shock tailored to the raptor's needs, and your walet's needs.
I've got Eye Ball Engineering A-Arms and Elka ST shocks and LOVE THEM TO DEATH!!!!!!! I've hit quite a few MX tracks and doubles/tipples dont even phase them.
I'm rocking the Houser Slicast and love the hell out of them. Super easy and fast caster adjustment, I would rave about the camber adjustment, but they are all the same when it comes to that as far as aftermarket goes... I prefer LT for jumping, but that's all based on opinion. As far as shocks, I would give Wiigstyle a call, just like Preddy said. I have Motowoz on the front and a OEM rear rebuilt/valved/sprung by Wiig and couldn't be happier with both front and rear. :thumbs: There's a thousand different variations out there and your going to get as many different responses. Oh and I MX only some of the time, mostly XC...
I have a XC setup but the cost is about the same for stock rebuilds. I would personally go with LT for MX but it cost me $650 for all 3 to be resprung/revalved including a rear link.

That's good to hear :thumbs: I am about a day away from getting a Houser Slicast +2.25" LT with tric trac, then motowoz front and rear. This is music to my ears!! :clap: I live really close to the Motowoz shop, so I know servicing them will be easy.
ROCK ON!!!!! :clap: Let me know what you think of the tric trac......I'm seriously debating on getting a set.
WiigStyle Racing is a Houser Dealer. If you need tric-trac, slicast, or hard parts please ask for pricing. I have a dealer log in on there website to obtain prices quicker.

I ended up going with the Houser +2.25 with Motowoz front and rear. I love it. I also got Tric Tac. I will get some riding in and give a report back on performance.

I really think that tric trac setup is pretty sweet, really like to hear a ride report on it. How do you like the HMF comp series also?
The motowoz black/blue shocks look damn good on that SE2 . Was that special custom order?
save your pennies peelz.
That's a sweet setup, definitely looks great and should handle awesome.
Thanks fellas. I've been waiting a for quite a while to get these on and was really hesitant about putting the cash into it, but from my initial ride between the arms, shocks, and stablizer, this thing is really sweet to ride. Motowoz offers these new black bodies as a standard now.
As for the FMF exhaust, there was a noticable increase in low end torque. The top probably a little increase, but not what a pair of duals will do. That said, I ride MX style tracks and tighter trails. very rarely have an opportunity to open it up all the way. So it works great for me. I have a lot of performance stuff on it now, so it should work well as a package (still haven't even touched the engine yet :P):

Extremely sharp looking setup! I have the old hmf for my 350, did you trade ur old pipe for that or did you just buy the new one as a stock replacement?
still got love for the HMF. It does pretty good in the value category. Not the most power, but sounds good, and looks good for not very much.

My exhaust was all stock so I couldn't take advantage of the trade in. I thought it was a great exhaust for the price. It fits what I want to do at this point really well.
I started with an HMF sport full exhaust. It was VERY noticeable increase in power from stock to that. Then I went from the HMF to Duals (within about 3 months) the increase from the single to the duals was insane!
