Did you get 1 1/8" bars? Getting my x-mas....yes i said x-mas, list ready and I think the whole steering enchilada will be on it. Fat bars, vapor dash, vapor computer, & ODI grips...getting ccp stabilizer waayy before then so that cant be on it. Tires look great too illusive. Took it for spin yet?

I put on a brand new set of nerf bars that my wife got for me,....and then took them right back off! MXForce racing, made in Taiwan, and made like sh1t! Didn't fit right, and I think even accidentally stepping on them will drop my foot right into the back tire. The poorest quality I've ever seen. I even made sure to put the business cards back in the box, because I don't want anyone in my garage finding them and ordering trash parts! Is there a sticky about good nerfs, or can anyone just tell me a good set, that is tough enough to stand on and has good mounts??? Bout200 price range.
I purchased the TUSK type w/integrated heel guards. Look really nicve and have held up fantastic. Picked them up through rockymountain. Sucks getting crappy sh$t.

installed the 11:1 CP Piston today with the help of a budy. It wasn't too hard. Having done the cam helped with the timing part of it. No real issues came up, and it fired right up. I think i'm going to try do a ride tomorrow for tuning and break-in. then the oil change.











And a rare photo of my Raptor with Dirt tires... :wow:

So between the 2 of you, how long did it take to do the piston? 4-5 hrs I suppose?

Switched out my Alba racing dobeck type controller for a PC3 I picked up recently. Have not had a chance to ride it yet but it seems as if response is quicker. Tried a few maps off of the bob2bob site trying to get close. If anyone has a map closer for what my sigs are pm me and I will try it out as well.

700scott- I agree with the thoughts of night and day difference in the stabilizers. I have the ccp and after prairie dog hole hitting the other day I am looking forward to mountain trails a bit more!!

Put him in one of those kangaroo pouches you see around.:eek:

Checked and adjusted my valves. Intake was a little loose but exhaust was spot on.

How hard was it to install, i have thought about picking one up.
I have one as well, but I went with the TT fat xbar, fat bar clamp with vapor holder. That stealth color looks cool as well Adam. I highly suggest getting one, I love all you can keep track of with these.

I like the look of those pro armors. It was a toss up between that and the PRM desert bar....PRM won. Looks good though RapRider

I picked up a GYTR skidplate from stangman. It would not fit due to the nerf bars I have installed, so out comes the jigsaw! Strategically cut the side flare pieces to make it fit. I will be calling yamaha to see if I can get the 2 hook pieces on the rear sent to me, if not I have a plan to make some myself.

Glad to know you are up to par again PB!
