Thanks, No the engine is still stock, only power mods we did was the GYTR full exhaust, Gytr filter, and jet kit. This is his first year on the big quad so I just left the engine alone, this is his learning year. The engine will be next winters project.

Thanks Mike, Brandon picked out all the colors and graphics his self, no big surprise on the colors, he's really stuck on the red and black. I know it won't be long and you'll be calling up Lonestar, you know it's true, your a sucker just like me, can't tell them no.....LOL

I agree 100% we did a nice suspension, left the engine mostly alone opened up some ports & cleaned it up. This is Colts real 1st big quad & agree learning year, as he progresess so will the engine. Good thing is my older son went to school for this engine building & looking foward to see how he did & get this baby back together so I can take the boys out racing,

Yea I always said you can have all the engine you want but it the suspension can't handle the track the engine won't do you any good. The Raptor has alot of good power stock, just adding a good exhaust really open's it up, so it has plenty of power to go out and get some great learning laps.

X2... I have felt this way for years, if i feel they are using every bit of power the motor has, then we will work on the motor. Suspension is where it is, for MX .

Nice Kevin. I bet Brandon doesn't even want to ride the Mini now.

Thanks Man, Brandon had alot to do with the way it come out though. Believe it or not he still likes the mini to, but he said he definatley likes the Raptor better. I ask him if he was going to be upset at the end of the year since this was his last year on the 90 and he said No he's ready to move on, then he said " But can we keep the 90 anyway " of course my answer was "NO" it got to go to pay for the next one, LOL......

Thanks....Boy did you hit the nail on the head, He has raced it 8 times now, and now he is looking for more motor, they just learn so quick and I don't think we ever give them enough credit. Now I have to decide witch way to go with the motor.

Ernie at Final Touch Restyling, He does all of our grapics and such. You just can't beat the guy, his customer service is top notch, prices are good and the quality of everything I have ever got from him in the last 4 or 5 years is 1st class. Give him a call one day, tell him what you want, normally by that night he shoots you a proof, you ok it and within normally 3 days it's on your door step. Really AWSOME guy to, he always is there to help.
