When I ordered my set of TimmyBoy's a week ago, I was talking to the sales rep on the phone, and he pointed out something I thought was interesting. I asked if they had any extended swing arms out for the Raptor, he said not yet but you can extend the rear swing arm a little over one inch yourself. He said all you need to do is get another chain with a couple more links on it, and put it on your Raptor. He claims that there is enough adjustability in the Raptor chain to do this without any problems.

Yeah, I noticed that when I put my 12-tooth sprocket on. Even after I put it on there was still a decent amout of adj. left. I have since went back to my 13-tooth.

Another option I was considering is the $280 plus exchange for a +1 or +2 from The Quad Shop ATV. Looks like they take factory ones and add a piece into it. Check it out and let me know if anyone has done this.

Thanks!

This really isnt a big deal as it can be done on just about any chain drive quad.
