I know that you do a lot of work on preds for others. Even though I am not a fan of the preds, they are a good bike and you have a wealth of info on them. Its good to have people on here with experience and who know what they are talking about. Glad you're here.

Yes, the preds are pretty solid machines, but arent known too much around the mainstream because of the bad reputation that Polaris has. But they pulled through on this machine, and it sure impressed me. It has had not too many problems, and Im pretty sure that they were fixed in the later models. Awesome machine, and I hope you have fun with your future Pred trailrider [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Awesome, I just recently started running ITP Sand Stars on the Raptor and hoooya! Never driven a paddle like it, its awesome for the recreational rider, and the racer!
