I do my best to hide my shame :lol:
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.
It looks good in pics. Even better in person!!! :clap:

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.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice MD !!!!
See Seg? another 660 guy gone to the dark side!! hint hint :rofl:

dark side my A$$!!! we have seen the light and moved on! :lol:
Thanks for the compliments guys. I still have my 660, but it would be for sale if someone was interested. Don't need the $$$ so I'm not going to put much effort into trying to get rid of it.

Ryan actually figured it out not that long after I bought it. He knew two weeks before we went to Silver Lake, which was two weeks before the LS rally. You should be more observant Erich ;) But actually I wanted it to debut at the LS rally, that's why I didn't make it public knowledge beforehand.

You wanted it to debut? Did you have a silk cover over it with a tall blonde on site to unveil it? And I have attention lust? :rofl:
Darn, I knew I forgot something.....silk cover got left in Ohio :(
Could have used your undies to cover them then :rofl:
Your new Raptor looks awesome Mike!
