Default 660 full race frame

Anybody know who makes a better frame for the raptor? I used to see them back in the day in the mags, but now all you see is the 450 stuff. I tried looking around the web but only found a few subframes, so what gives? I have already had to weld my frame in 5 places so I want to go to a chromoly frame and not worry about it anymore. Any help would be appericated.

Aside from drag frames, no one has ever put an aftermarket raptor frame into production that I have ever heard of. Gusset it up and get a better sub or do what most raptor racers did, get a yfz.

I have a sweet gusset kit on my quad that I put on through my sponsor shop. I also bought an RPM subframe and cut out all their gussets and put ours in. We also re-welded some of the poor factory welds on my frame when it was stripped down.

If you want to send us your frame, we can do all this except for the subframe, unless you buy one, but we are working on designing those as well.
If you are interested in the gusset kit, let me know. It has strengthened my frame up considerably. I have been taking harder, bigger and longer jumps and hits with more confidence now with the gussetts. I've also had a few bad crashes, and nothing has happened to the frame.

PM me if interested. I will be taking detailed pics of my bike Monday after I clean it up, so I will be able to e-mail some of them to you if interested.
