Default Raptor Diet

Just weighed my raptor after putting it on a diet. Wet weight (full fuel, oil, coolant, ect) was 414lbs. I managed to get about 12 lbs off and I still have alot to go [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Short term goal is going to be 405lbs so I gotta get 9 more lbs off.

too bad raptors dont have a back up start mechanism (pull,kick) then you could take off the battery and starter.

If I had to guess I'd say they were within a couple pounds of each other. I never weighed them to see but they were pretty close.

Scrambler, I'm working on the kick starter [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I'm content with my rims. I've got some other ideas that will get me 5lbs for sure. I've been to busy building rocker bars, bumpers, designing exo-skeletons for trucks, and working a full time job to put much time into my bike but I'll hit the 405 mark. It may require me to buy a spool gun and get my MIG welder setup for aluminum but I'll get there.
