Reducing a Raptors weight
#11
The Lonestar Raptor axle is about 3 1/2 inches wider than stock according to Lonestar. If you buy the Banshee axle it is at least 4 inches wider but when mounted on a Raptor there is not enough room for both axle nuts and one side is longer than the other. There are other posts that do a better job of explaining the problems with the Banshee axle.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply. There are some very good suggestions. If I come up with anything "revolutionary" I will be sure to share it with everyone. My first goal is going to be the "Low hanging fruit" like the lights, handlebars, etc. Then I am primarily going to focus on unsprung weight. Does anybody here have the carbon fiber rims? How do they hold up to trail riding? Thanks again!
