My Raptor Build (Progress Pics)

[Temptation]

Make sure you tell teh Jockey to spit out the Binky before he races, the weight and winddrag of it is atleast a tenth...LOL

[Krandall]

those should look great powder coated up!!!

hows the rest of the build process going?

[Mtneer Man]

The motor is basicly done. The piston and cylinder is on the way back from Bo. I got the TB back from Kenny about a week ago. Im buyin RE custom stock bore drag pipes off of their hill bike. Im just missin a swinger (should be done anytime) and a stem. Ive been cutting on the frame tryin to loose some weight here and there. Ill get some more pics posted soon.

[Krandall]

Sounds good. I'm excited to see the pics of the frame shaved up.

You going to be tearing apart your wiring ?

[Mtneer Man]

Lotuseater has an extra wiring harness and has been messin with it for a day or two. I dont think im goin to mess with the harness this year. I might save that for next winter. I will probably just cut off the connections im not using for now.

[Krandall]

Yeah, seems like it could be a big mess. But heck, if you can shave 1/2 a lb worth of wiring outta there. Heck yea!!

Are those chromoly a-arms or standard steel?

[Mtneer Man]

They are chromoly. The total weight for everything is a lil over 5lbs.

[Krandall]

dang that's HUGE! What color you pc'ing those badboys?

[Mtneer Man]

Black Chrome, goin to do the A-arms, stem, and swinger. The main frame is goin to stay silver for now.

[Mtneer Man]

Decided to take some pics of the progress. I got the motor in the frame and everything wired up. My drag pipes are goin to be in the mail next monday after the FSA race. My swinger is.....well ill let everyone know how that went after I get it :angry: My a-arms will be on it later this week, just have to pick them up from Lotuseater. I got a lil electronic holder from RaptorR, its a nice lil peice and will look good powdercoated. Im dying to get this thing together. Here is the pics....

[Krandall]

NEED BIGGER PICS!!!!!!!

Dang man!! That thing is coming along!!! How soon before you fire her up? 

[robkd]

[RaptorARE]

Have you got your swinger yet??

[Mtneer Man]

Not yet, I will post up the whole ordeal when I have it in my posession. Its been a long long process of gettin the swinger done.

[RaptorARE]

I feel you there.....  They told me 2 weeks and it ended up being 4 weeks   But I will say it was well worth it, a true beauty.  Yah cant wait til she is all done
