Default My Raptor build-up

OK, I will refresh those who did not see my other post about a-arms. I just found out a couple weeks ago that I will be here in Korea for another two years, so I am going to take the time to buy all the parts I need for my ultimate Raptor. I have a friend who owns a retail business and sells me everything at cost, so I'll save a ton of money there. Sorry, but I can't help y'all out. I'm 7500 miles from the west coast, anyway. Some parts are cheaper brands because there is no advantage in paying for a name on certain parts. Remember, this is my money and my quad, so I already know that some things are not really needed, but I want them, so I'll have them. I just want to have a completely done-up quad that is unique. I will never sell it, so money isn't a concern. Here's the list:

I will be doing the suspension fabrication when I get back to the States. Money may not mean much for this project, but paying outrageous prices for suspension parts takes money away from other things. As far as the oil lines, I can fab those while I'm here because the hydraulics shop has plenty of material. I will be doing all of the polishing and assembly, so I will know every nut and bolt. It will definitely be a labor of love.

I want the FMF pipe because I have always used thier products. Plus, it has the look I am after. I am very loyal to their products, so if it's not as good as the Yoshi or Sparks, oh well. I'm not doing any internal engine work because I want it to remain reliable and I don't need to waste money there. The FMF pipe will be plenty good for me. Besides, I hate drag racing, so it would do no good to have that extra 1/2 hp or so.
