Mine is currently being stripped down, frame, swing arm and a-arms are being powder coater, top end is being powder coated with polished fins (similar to pic), bottom end/gearbox etc all being mirror polished. Every small part that can be polished will be. Custom airbrushing is being done on the plastics and a few other cosmetic mods to give it a pimped up street fighter/super-moto look including having it lowered and widened with wide front wheels all set up for road use. will get pics up as soon as the project is complete, 3-4 months i guess.
Next winter comes the performance mods!
where did you get those wheels and tires? I want to set up my raptor like that. Are there any speacial suspension set up for street use? what kind of a arms and shocks do you have also? Who did the work?Looks damn good!!! :thumbsup: Thanks
New guy here. Been enjoying this site and the info for a couple weeks now lurking around. Anyway, here's my 2001 Raptor 660r. I bought it used about 2 months ago. It came with the Renthal bar, nerfs, and a 12t front sprocket. Previous owner was heavier set like myself (I'm near 300lbs) so I'll give it a shot before I consider going back to the stock 13t. I added a UNI air filter, the DG Moto-plate front bumper, and a DG Fat series swing arm skid. Where we ride (old glacier planes, the whole area is littered with glacier lakes) there are a lot of exposed rocks on the trail that do wonders on bike wheels, skids, etc. so I wanted something that should be able to take the abuse. Future upgrades include ITP Baja wheels in black, ITP GNCC front/rear tires, a wider axle, and maybe some more performance upgrades. So not to bore you anymore on to the pics!

I had some spacers custom made so that you could put rear wheels on the front. The rims are 10" Douglas Red Labels. The bike has also been lowered and the front wheel conversion also adds a lot of width to the front. The tyres are European Road Legal low profile, i the UK size is 225/40-10. Ithink you guys use imperial sizes in the us so not sure what that equates to but i have seen similar tyres on sale on US sites.
It looks phatt!!!
The spacers cost £120 and although the exchange rate is great for us in the uk, for you guys in the states it is expensive to buy stuff from over here at the moment. I guess that would work out at about $240 plus shipping to the US.
When you post a message in the bottom left hand corner where it says "Additional options" Click on that and load your pics. It usally resizes them for you.
If you have too big a file use paintworks to resize your image just go on paintworks to "Image" "Stretch/Skew" then reduce it to 50/50 instead of 100/100.
