Would a Raptor engine EVER fit into a Lonestar/Roll Design frame made for a 426/450 engine? How many things would need to be fabricated if it was possible? Would an engine that size even fit into the frame's structure? I think it would be really cool to have a raptor's 660 engine in a 250R based frame w/ 250R plastics... long travel A-arms and suspension.. MXed out to the max... Maybe sumthin to look into for the future... good way to get my career started...

 

I would love to see and own something like that. Slim

 

Hey Slim, where do you ride in NC? i live in Orange County, NC, just North of Chapel Hill... oh, and ive been reading and making calls about this 660 thing.... interesting things i heard over the phone... interesting things...

 

i have an uncle that lives near or in chapel hill. Just thought it was funny.

northern Orange County is a TOTALLY different world than Chapel Hill, lol, it goes from like... sushi bars, tofu, and green peace... to tractors, pitchforks, and farms in like 10 miles, lol. Its a great county. I can ride quads in Northern Orange Co. where i live... then go get a tattoo and party in Chapel Hill.

Oh, and the deeper i get into this thing, the more its lookin like it can be done, but i wanna know what you guys think...

 

Anything can and will be done if you throw enough money at it.. I dont see why not.

 

I just wanna know how much actual difficulty is involved in fabricating engine mounts that will be sturdy enough, as well as moving the radiator and brake pedals and such

 

You could probably reuse most of the honda type stuff. Just use whatever brake lines they use for that frame

Make room for a battery and the oil tank but I bet the honda 250r style radiator will work fine with the fan put in the front. Engine mounts arent bad at all. I would worry about that oil tank

 

BadNBlueRacer, I live about 35 minutes from Raleigh. You can take capital boluvard going towards Wake Forest which turns into US 1 straight to an off ramp called Gillburg RD. I dont no the number of the exit right off the top of my head; i'll look when I go home in the morning. After you get off on the exit I'm about 2 miles away. There are a lot of trails down my way and if you are interested maybe you could come to the local track sometime. Slim

 

I dont see why they dont make an aftermarket frame for the raptor...Its been out for 3 years now and they had a z400 frame out almost instantly!
