I could have one made for you this weekend. Aluminum or steel just let me know what you want. :thumbs:
That's a generous offer but its also the easy way out.  I'll see what I can do locally & avoid shipping  :thumbs:

Believe me when I say I thought of you guys within minutes of not passing tech, Tommy's got a Rappy for fab purposes & you could PC it for me .  The only thing stopping me from having you  guys knock it out is the design  ???  I'll give you a call & let you know my ideas  ::)

The cheapest estimate I found was $50 & I think thats to much for a possible 1 time use item.  My Raptor's not fast, I just wanted to race once for fun.  I will be  making the chain guard myself & that will be a winter project.  I will be contacting a guy I know to make a wheelie bar.  I'm looking forward to some spring runs,  & that'll give me time to buy a FCI intake & get a custom curve made for the dynatek
 ;)

My helmet doesn't meet there specs either so I'll be buying a new helmet

Pipestone has a TT track that sounds fun.
In New Ulm there's a track that is more XC than MX if that makes sense  ???
If I think of it I'll look for a youtube link later.

I'll take a look at D23's schedule of events, you have a link   :lol:
