My Raptor Build (Progress Pics)

[Krandall]

at least you were able to ride it off. I'm all to familiar w/ a broken swinger

Well time to update this thread for 2010, Here we go...... I tore the motor back down and am doin more port work to the head, a lil bigger valves. I went with a big 54mm TB, Drag Tank, some new 10x2 spindle mounts, some 24in 12 paddle stgds. went to a +6 swinger instead of a +8, shaved about 20lbs off of myself and a few off the bike. We will see what this year brings for the lil raptor.

Gettin it back together, here is a few pics.

Have you thought about going to an aftermarket sub frame?

Bet you could shave a bit off that

Looking great otherwise though!!!!

[Mtneer Man]

I think the main reason you save weight with the aftermarket subframe is that you can run a yfz seat. I would say I will be pretty light this year. I have done a few things to get it down to the 300 lbs. mark or so. I cant wait to see what it will run.

Bringing this back to the top. This build ran its best time of 4.43 with a 1.50 60ft. This year Im adding a new frame and frontend setup. I am also adding some Nitrous, it should help me get faster for next year. Here is some pictures of the frame and frontend, I had Stellar Machine and Performance do the work for me, I would reccomend Tim to anyone. He is top knotch.

Holy Crap... Your stuff looks amazing... and the stuff in the background this guy is doing is ALSO amazing!!!!

Looks like it should be fast in a straight line.

[Mtneer Man]

Thanks Krandall, Tim builds some of the sickest frames and parts out there. You might hit him up to become a sponsor. Troy, it is definatly fast in a straight line, idk how it would handle in the woods hahahaha. Ill get more pics when I get the powdercoating on it.

[Mtneer Man]

Frame, Front End, and Stem were done by Stellar Machine and Performance. Tim did an awesome Job. I got the motor together last night. Its gettin close. Before anyone asks they are 26in 14 Stgd. Rippers......Ill be sprayin just a lil nitrous this year.
