Of course it counts.....The title of the post says "Calling al CUSTOM Raptors"
Custom means one of a kind, something nobody else has.
This bike is VERY custom and does VERY well at the drags. Its also an excellent duner.

If that dont count then evidently you really dont want to have one of the fastest , coolest, custom Raptors.
You want some of the same ol' crap off the shelf that everyone else buys, which may be fine with you, but the person that started the post called for "CUSTOM" Raptors

Those tricked out raptors are cool, but they are not dependable, I just cant get these guys that just hill climb or drag all the time.Sure those bikes are fast but can you ride it hard for six or seven hours and it still be in one peiceI dont think so.I just bought a new raptor 700 I put on just a few aftermarket products pipe kn filter etc,But at the end of the day it is still as good as new and ready to go out and ride the next day.Ive found in the past all these motor
mods and goofy crap people do to try to make their quad [the fastest]mostly spend more time working on it than really riding it.Looks real cool riding around the pits lets get out on the trail and see how she really holds
together so either ride it or park it.But please quit riding around the pits acting you got the baddest four wheeler
cause chances are it will break in the first 5 miles!!!!!!!

DF, My goal here NOT to get into a spitting match with you.

Let me just say, Im guessing by your comments that youve never actually owned a conversion bike, let alone on built by SpeedTrap MotorSports. ( You see no sense in them)
So Im also guessing your not speaking from experiance about the undependability of these bikes, so your either speculating or you've been able to observe other peoples experiences.

If your just speculating, then you should state that your statements are just your opinion and you have no actual facts to back them up.
If youve made you statement based on watching what has been happening with other peoples builds, well then these people need to change builders.

I've been building bikes as a hobby for a few years and I can say FOR SURE that NONE of the bikes I build experiance these mechanical breakdowns you speak of.

Im not just taking big motors and throwing them in drag frames. Maybe thats what OTHER people are doing and thats why you may be seeing undependable bikes. I dont know for sure, but please dont come on here SLAMMING my builds, because you obviously dont have a clue about my bikes.

Understand , the bike I gave a link to is a "duner". Its a costom built frame engineered to withstand the pounding of the dunes. It has dune suspension, and the Ergonomics of the bike are set up to dune with. At 480 lbs, its by NO MEANS a drag bike. ( but it will beat most drag bikes, LOL)

You have your opinions and you have the right to state them, thats fine, I respect that.
But I also have the right to state that my bike dont reflect your opinions.
