Want a "new" drag bike

[PIPO]

But I'm not sure if I want to be back in a kfx. I rode and drag raced a kenz 797 all day at Busco and let me tell you that thing was a beast. It fell a lot quicker outta the hole than my 715 (kfx) and it was still pretty heavy at 430lbs. I'd love to drag race it in drag trim (350lbs). I was getting pretty confident until this alcohol yfz on the juice smoked me pretty good, I didn't think a 450 could be made that fast (I own 2 myself). I raced a 727 and a 784 (12 mill) and had no problems with them...what's the easiest way to shave 75-100lbs on the raptors? I weigh 170lbs myself so I'm good to go. lol!

It really depends on how crazy you want to get.


Tear it down to the bare frame for starters. Then tear apart the wire harness. remove any un-needed wires (headlights ect..)
drag arms/drag shocks.
light axle
replace the sub-frame
remove front brakes / spindle wheels
