If your going to drag race competition's you better get a lowering kit for the front of your Raptor to help keep it on the ground. You lose a lot of time when your front end is in the air.

It's all about center of gravity. The lower the front of the bike, the farther forward the center of gravity will be and the less likely it will be to end up with the wheels in the air. It's essentially the same as putting a longer swingarm on a bike.

Ok, I get it, I was just picturing dragsters with the smaller tires in front, and they are still in the air.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

lol they also have a rather LARG motor.

anyway some new rear tires and a plus 4 swing arm helps alittle with traction and keeping the front end down. theres not mutch more things you can do for power besides motor work.
