Why a raptor frame? Why not just throw it in a yfz frame and be done with it??? It would probably be only slightly more expensive to sell your bike and buy a yfz frame than tear yours down and part it out. But you would have a lot better handling already built in.

Welcome to the forum craptorman, There is no way your going to put that engine in any other frame with no mods. I would think the expansion chambers would be the toughest part, but there will still be a few other challenges. If you have some decent fabricating skills it would help and might make it easier but it still wont just bolt in.

Why don't you just sell your Raptor and buy a Banshee?

I wish I could remember the site although I have seen pictures of a "Rapshee" before, you'll have to change motor mounts but you don't have to worry about cutting the frame so that's a good thing.

It's been done at least once, there was one for sale on ebay a long time ago.
