I do generall riding, trails, hills, jumps, drags, and since I bought the Raptor, the parking brake hasn't worked. I figured I might as well take it off, and get rid of all that crap on the bars. well, I have just been leaving it in gear, as a parking brake, and let the engine be the parking brake. Is there anything wrong with doing that? Also, do I have to buy a new clutch perch when I get a block-off plate, or do I just need the block-off plate?

Where is the best place to get the stuff that I need?

Dump the parking brake! It's more trouble than it's worth.
All you need is the block off but a CR perch looks much better than the big stock monster!
The best looking block offs I've seen are from RMW Billet

I agree with Moose 100% and that what I did the first thing I brought the Raptor home. It just a pieces of junk.

The place to get one to look into of Dirtwheel and you will see it anywhere in the mag.
