dont care about motor and exhaust

More concerned about rims, tires, skids.......things that help the Raptor bounce off of tight rocky trails at high speeds.

Please give your opinions and facts.

 

I like the GYTR body skid because it goes up on the sides. Tires for rocky trails go with the bandits

 

PRM rear skid is by far the best, toughest made. jmo 12 tooth so you can chug in 2nd through the tight stuff.big daddy website

 

Full underbelly protection, steering stabilizer, hand guards, 22" tall tires (heavy, but worth it in the clearance dept.). I had front Bandit XC's and would not recommend them...too much contact patch....the front end wanders at very high speeds....the rears are awesome. The stock rolled edge wheels will be fine untill you really wad things up....then get some bead locks. Adjust gearing too suit needs / preferences after some seat time. Also, get the best shocks you can afford and get a +3 Lonestar rear axle. Lastly, a dyno-jet kit.....this helps smooth out power for quicker woods riding.

 

Get holeshot xc 22 inch fronts and 20 inch holeshot xcr's in the rear. I would stay with your stock rims. However if you want a little more stability get some ITP .190 wheels with the fronts being offset 3b + 2n. It will widen your front about two inches.

 

As some have said above, Bandit XC's for the rear of the bike are great. They allow for good control, great sliding ability, etc. They are pretty heavy, but dang tough! I run full GYT-R skids (belly, a-arm, swingarm) and geared with 12/42 combo. I hit rocks with the underside all the time, these Yamaha skid plates are probably the toughest I have owned.

 

thanks so far

What is a good price for beadlocks????

 

Are a-arm guards worth the money?

I dont plan to widen the rap at all,,,,in fact I will be stickin with stock a-arms until i brake them.

I have a DG skid plate currently (crap). It is flat across the bottom (in design). Is the PRM flat or does it contour to the sprocket, rotor to allow more clearance between the two?

Well all this is available at the QUAD SHOP if you are really wanting it.

 

I like the a-arm guards because they wrap up the front and act like a shield. They also keep sticks, and stuff from poking between the opening in the a-arms, and rocks from bending them.
