Whats up everybody, another new guy to the forum.  I'm a recent transplant from RF....didn't like how the new company is treating their sponsors, and cramming everything full of ads, so I took the advice of a few members and decided to check this place out. 

Anyway, I'm new to Raptors too...picked up my first one about a month ago and love it.  I can't wait to start tearing into it a little more, but I have to learn to control the stock power levels first...lol.  Coming from a wolverine 450, this thing feels like a rocket.  Soon, the big 3 will be done...but I'm happy with it so far, and can't wait to put some more seat time in.







Its an 07 GYTR 700r, got a great deal on it because it was last years model, so I couldn't pass it by.  So far, its all stock except for the wheels and tires, which are ITP sandstars on ITP SS112 sport wheels.  And I'm waiting on a few pieces to get back from BandNdesigns.  Like I said, eventually it will be sporting some monster pipes, PCIII and the rumored FCI intake...but I'm in no huge rush.  I still have a few other projects that keep my time and wallet occupied. 

Well, just wanted to say Hi and introduce myself.

got black smoke?

Nah, not yet.  I really need to get some traction bars before I chip it.  The axle wrap with the stock power is bad enough, with the SCT...I will start breaking shit.  I would have it all done already, but I bought a RZR a few months back, and just picked up this Raptor...so no more mod money for the truck..lol.

I wasn't a huge fan of the white, but it is growing on me too.  For the deal I got ($5999), I didn't care what color it was though.  I'm just starting out small with the paint, just the hood and tank topper.
