SOLD! I'll buy it for 40K. PM me and we'll meet up to do the transaction.

Your welcome to tag along w/ us if you want. I just have to warn you first, we get a bit loud and stupid at night sometimes. PM me for where we are gonna be camped, when we are leaving, etc.

my old t/h my new one...

I think this lastest craze w/ all these 450 kiddie bikes has put the Raptor in less demand. I personally like my Raptor over the 450 more because of the Raptor's weight and size. I think it handles better, but it could be because I am 6ft 2" and I fit better on a Raptor. I myself would love one of those new Raptor 700's. No quad will ever handle and take whoops and jumps like my 2 wheeler though. Many new features caught my eye: FUEL INJECTION for one, new dash light display, led tailight, longer seat, etc. Hell of a nice quad made even better than the previous Raptor.

ooops, I'm sorry. I don't even remember that.

Last night was alot of fun. We almost set Doug's backyard ablaze. I think we all started to think we were at Dumont after a while with that fire! The party definitley got a wee bit crazy. I'll get some pics up soon. Sorry, but some of the pics can't be shown. Thanks to Doug & Kayle for all the good eats

You're just jealous, Dave. Besides, it was at the very end of the night when that pic was taken. That's the only way to end a party night.

Sweet, Dave! I didn't know you had those. Got any more of us?

right, molded. Kings Tire makes it. They have been out for at least a few years.

Gotta work those days. I'll be comin back home on the 1st.

That's right. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

right on

The 450 might run ok with a 10 cup, but I still think an 8 would be best on that bike as well. I'm guessing on the 450 though. The 426, however, I speak from experience.

They do....

We'll just be gettin started around 10!

Anyone else coming out tonight? Can't wait, myself. Should be a blast.

yep , click here

You are in the right thread, anarchist. Very nice ride. Props to you for being able to all your own fab work. Wish I was able to do mine.

I don't think so, ISBB. SandYFZ used to have a YZ426 and we were almost the same up comp. He'd get me by about a half bike or so sometimes. The 426 DOES have the torque to turn a 10 cup. Hell my 250 will turn a 10 cup and go everywhere, but not as good as an 8 cup. You are right about the 8 cup spinning it more. That is what you want though. Paddles work best when there is tire spin. It keeps you on top of the sand rather than just digging down. Too much wheel spin (for instance if you put a 6 cup paddle on) would hurt it. It's trying to find the right amount of tire spin to get the bike dialed in for bect traction AND floatation on the sand. Tony, I personally think your bike would be slower w/ a 10 cup. Stick w/ the 8.

Last night I got my car stripped down to get ready to be fixed. I took off the whole front end and then got sick to my stomach after having to WIRE WHEEL the powder coat off. I also got him to fill in some holes from some previous crap (who knows) where there were 2 bolts in the frame. He did an awesome job. Can't even tell there were holes there.... I figured what the hell, I have to get a bunch of other spots touched up already, why not fill that them in. The cracks were tig welded then gussetted with steel plates to make sure this doesn't happen again. They came out pretty nice. Now not only having added support, there are 2 more spots for some more driving lights too. Now to get the paint guy to try and match the powder coat as best as possible. Shouldn't be TOO bad when it's all said and done, but I think after this season I might strip the car down to the bare frame, do some more mods, and then have the frame completely re-powercoated. The car should be like brand new then. Oh and BTW, Josey informed me that my frame isn't chromolly, it's mild steel. Shows you how much I know.

:headbang: I've seen that video before. That chit can't be real! :headbang:

I don't think a 426 will turn a 10 cup. It will, but you'll get more pull & speed out of the 8 cup. The 10 cup will make you wheelie the hell out of the bike. Like Don said, the 10 cup paddle tires are for even bigger cc engines than you've got. Hope this helps. :headbang:

^^ yeah, what he said ^^^

I love those jumps at Coral.... :headbang:

Don, you're bored as hell aren't you? :headbang:
