Nug, What do you do for a living? I was just wondering where you get all of this disposable income. By they way, that is going to be a real beast to ride! You may want an extended swingarm on that thing!

Nug! Heck with that hill climbing dude... Take it from someone with expereince its TOO expensive... Just imagine trashing everyting on your bike but the engine and starting again! It SUCKS!!!!

Throw a wheelie bar on it and smoke some bikes on the strip....

Ow and hurry up with the pics you have my interest peaked as well... I have an extra frame out back....

I work for my uncle who is the Vice President of Merrill Lynch (stockbroking) and to set everyone straight, I still have the 727 Raptor, I bought another raptor and put the R-1 Engine in it, GOD BLESS YAMAHA, I am going to get pictures up as soon as I get a new Digital Camera, the bike is sick as hell though, I plan on taking it to St. Anthony in 2-3 weeks, but the 2003 Raptor Engine is for sale just give me an offer and I will think about it and let you know!! I took it to the hill to climb but just ran it on the flats cuz I was a little skeered after seeing that no bike could make it up the hill throughout the whole competition a couple of weeks earlier so I did not try to climb due to the fact of nobody making it up and to many people got hurt and ruined there bikes!!

Along with the install I put on a Tucker +6" Swing arm, should it have been longer or what?

Nug - if it makes you feel any better I don't think Tucker makes a +8 or at least he didn't when I bought mine. The +6 should be pleanty, and if its not then just make a wheelie bar [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
