I hear that a certain orange Raptor was putting the smack down on all 4 strokes at Pismo last weekend. I understand it was a Craycraft cam'd big bore with DaBeech porting and Barker's 4mil stroker. Can anyone confirm??

 

Where? I'll make some calls I guess[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

It was at Pismo on the big weekend that everybody was planning on. Aug 19,20,21st. Let us know what you find out.

 

the trip reports seem extra slow for some reason. so i would figure its the case.

 

i heard the same thing

 

I heard that also, why no videos, cxmon it's just a slow craycraft, and from cali you know there even slower...lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

if it has a craycraft cam does it make it a craycraft. (dont think so!!!)

its sounds like a sand slingers bike to me if dabeech did the porting & motor work & setup.

 

wow this is a big forum,

Just to clear this up the way I saw it.....

Fastest 4stroke on hand

1st....tie: red sparks 450 & black yfz from kenz trailer
2nd : no plastics raptor from kenz trailer
3rd....tie: grey raptor from kenz trailer and orange raptor from ris group

Also I did talk to the group who owned the orange bike and from what I was told craycraft had NO part in the build besides a couple of parts were purchased from him. I am in the market for a builder to build my big kawi and was very interested in talking to the owner of the orange bike and to Ken from Kenz Cycle Tech. It was clear to me that the orange bike was home built and many people were involved none of which were craycraft.

 

I talked to the owner of the Orange Raptor (very good guy) and a strong runner,I think the report is off though,from what I saw the Sparks TRX and the Kenz YFZ were the fastest bikes (4 strokes).The Raptors traded wins all day with no clear winner,they all ran well and all had some wins everyone got along and no one started any crap until now,no need to start a fire.

 

Its seems If that bike was the fastest which it wasnt, the post should be titled "debeech waxed ken" there should be no mention of craycraft in this post as it pretains to winning. Im sure that craycraft does not grind there own cams so should we call it a company x built for craycraft cam?? I have checked in with all the big builders to try and find someone that will do some work on my kawi, sparks, duncan, lrd, fdo, trinity, all the big shops and from what I gather there is not a single part of the motor build that craycraft is responsible for himself besides bolting it together and you mention barker which is funny because I spoke with him acouple weeks back and he mentioned that he is starting to do all craycrafts heads????? So no does that mean that craycaft can no longer take credit for building big motors because its obvious in the four stroke world that the power is in the head.... If craycraft is so good way is he having someone else do his heads????????
