Well this winter I have been puttin part together to build a 300 ft. 700 raptor. Here are a few pics of the tear down. I got the bike down to the frame, removed the motor, took off the front brakes, headlight brackets, and steering stem. I got up to Lotuseaters house this morning and we started the motor tear down. We got the head off just fine but when we got the cylinder off I noticed some wear (chip) in the Nik. Coating on the intake side. We finally figured out that this had to happen when we were at the dunes and I lost my whole intake for about 10 min. We finally found it and got it reinstalled but I had ran without if for a good 10 min. My head is goin to Bo White for a upgraded port job, the cylinder is also goin to bo for a sleeve and to get a lil milled off the top. The piston is gettin reringed with a set of rings from total seal. The TB is goin to KDS to go from a +2 to a +3. Got a lockup clutch and +8 swinger headin this way too. If the wife doesnt kill me after all that I will start ordering some light weight a arms, steering stem, and other misc parts.



Here is a pic. of the frame and motor parts with some close ups of the Nik. chip on the cylinder.

Deffinatly looks different than the last time i saw it Chase. Hope it turns out good.

 

[Kawiking]

wow.. alot of missouri guys on the forum

 

[2slo4u]

what was the build before?

 

[jwraptor]

The raptor is looking good Chase. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. You'll definately need the light weight parts to beable to compete with the likes of BBR and others so you better start thinking of some good excuses.

Should be a fun built, let us know about the progress of it.


Hopefully get to run ya @ ST joe sometime.

It was a 14:1 stock bore, ported head, +2 tb, x2 cam. It will basicly be the same build but with a lil better head port job, a lil better throttle body, and a lil more compression.

 

[travis fulton]

lookin good!

Get it freshened up Chase and we'll get it put back together.

Just buy two of all your lightweight parts for me too!
