OMG, the R-1 Engine that I just finished puting in my raptor hauls some serious A$$, i was scared to death drive that thing... I guess it will take some time to get use to!! I am going to take it to "Widowmaker" which is only 3 miles from my house and see how it stands against the toughest mountain in my neck uv da woods... I will post pics soon!!

I have heard they fit in there pretty good. How much more than the Raptor motor does it weigh? I thought about this same project so let us know how it goes. Do you think it would change the weight bias in the quad so it would be really front end heavy. I want to do something like this but still want to run all over the dunes and most of the other street bike/ Quad conversions are drag only. Tell us what you think.

Why did you put all that time and money into getting a 727 just to take out the motor and put in a stock R-1 motor...

Doesn't make much sense to me...atleast get a new raptor and take out the motor and swap it, but not a built 727...
