In February (2011). I was speaking to a friend of mine who said he has a 2005 Raptor 660 sitting in his garage for 2 years. He rolled it once and has never been back on it since. So without hesitation it told him to hand it over right away. So went to see what i had gotten myself into ... all i got was ... a naked raptor... and some busted up fenders. The raptor had not been started in 2 years either. Properly ill treated and abandoned. So now i had myself a project to work on...

Get-r-done. Did you get a good deal on it? What are your mod plans?

This is the busted up blue fenders i got with it ... and this is what i have done to make it looks decent . . .

I literally TOOK the quad. How about that for a deal!

Well so far Tusk nerf bars and G-force spacers are on the way from Rocky mountain ATV.

Future plans : Full FMF exhaust system, jets, Pro intake filter... and anything else that the good people of this forum suggests and my pocket can handle

The carburetor had to be rebuilt because all the jets had corroded. the gas tank had to be cleaned because gas was left in it for the 2 years. and the list goes on ... hopefully by the end of the week i will have the finished product to show.

Patiently awaiting parts . . .

Passed by the mechanic and caught a glimpse of 660 . . . Still not 100% finished but here is a peek . . .

Did you buy new plastic?

Nice work!

I was wondering the same thing, lol. Or did you paint the blue ones? Either way, looks like a completely different bike, and blacked out looks sweet.

Looken good.

I took a chance and painted them over for now ... had them use less clear coat on it so it will look like a matte black finish... everybody loves it... only concern is that the paint will not last against the stones , bushes and etc. But for now the finish is great. After they start to chip i will probably cover them in vinyl (black again with different graphics).

On a sad note... the engine is leaning out at high revs, apparently its not getting enough fuel, for what reason i dont know. CARB has been rebuilt , filters changed... the mechanic still in it as i type so we will see what that problem soon enough. ( i hate minor set backs).

Turned out nice.

I was trying to think of a way to bring my plastic back to life as well without going to deep in the pockets. I thought about lineX to go over the plastic but it maybe to heavy. Any body have some knowledge regarding this?
