so i wanna do some pretty hardcore modding to my raptor 350 this summer.. i was wondering about putting a street bike engine, or my buddy and i were going to fabricate some custom exhaust, nerfs, possibly re-build the frame... etc. anyways i was just wondering what you guys think about this...

It would require a lot of fabrication to get a streetbike motor in a 350 frame. With enough time and money anything is possible.
i figured it would, but i want a big project for this summer anyways [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

well people put R1 engines in raptor 660's i dont know how much smaller a 350 frame is but its an idea
ya, idk...we'll see what happens, hopefully something will happen soon though

No offense intended, but it doesn't make that much sense to me to tear apart a like-new 06 quad with a poor chassis to do an engine swap. There are better and cheaper ways to do it.
it makes sense to me, thats all that matters.

Then I wish you the best of luck. I've seen warriors with 600cc 4cyl engines and 500cc v-twin engines. I believe one was at "the compound". There's also a member here with an xr650 honda dirt bike engine in his warrior, I believe his SN is something similar to xr650warrior.

I agree. If you really want to build a hybrid, why not get an old frame? No sense in tearing up a reliable machine, and then wind up having no machine to ride.Originally posted by: maddog56

Not to mention, if you have to ask you probably don't have the skills to fabricate it yourself. I'm not trying to put you down, just being realistic and hopefully keeping you from ruining a good machine.
