DVS1 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I just built the Raptor. Its an 03 Limited Edition, but fully customized now. Its only been to Glamis for Thanksgiving since complete build up and breaking in the motor, literally only bombed the hill maybe 8-10 times and flew down the drags 3-4 times. It whoops anything stock and I was walking an Athena Big Bore and cammed YZF450 up Olds hill no problem. Beside straight up drag bikes, I didn't get out ran. Lots of time and money invested, but I'll just highlight some things that I can think of off the top of my head. 102mm 11:1 Wiesco to make 686cc with matching cometic gasket set Stage 2 hot cam with double springs +1 Kibblewhite Valves Port/polish, intake port matched, serdi valve job and assembly by KenzCycleTech GYTR HD clutch LRD full exhaust Proflow w/ K&N no lid Trailtech billet Torch lights Clear tube mod and jetting that runs pretty good. Marvin Shaw Coilovers anodized blue with chrome springs +2 +1 Chromoly ASR A-Arms and tie rods (Chrome plated) +6 Chromoly ACE Fabrication swinger with billet round house RAD double row carrier. (Chrome Plated) +4 Lonestar Axcaliber axle & LSR locknut(Chrome Plated) Powder coated frame and misc small parts candy blue over metallic. (Sparkles in sunlight) Lots of polished aluminum. There is a few more little things but I think they're shown in the pictures. I'll explain if someone is interested. No problems with the bike at all and I was very happy with it out in the dunes. Price is with a full set of new dirt tires on ITPs and the rear paddles on douglas rims. You couldn't duplicate this for what I'm asking and I'm taking a loss. Also for sale is an 01 Banshee. Toomey T5 Piped, DJ jetted dual K&N pods, tors eliminated, billet impeller, advanced timing plate, lightened flywheel, but stock motor. 3 year old hinson clutch with no issues. Still had 123psi compression last time I rode it and the top end has never been apart. Powdercoated black frame, complete flamed billet package, polished clutch cover, and some chrome. Full set of dirt and sand rims/tires for it. Asking $10k for both. I have over $9k in the Raptor alone. I will sell both bikes separately $3500 for the Banshee and $7000 for the Raptor.

PJDM4LIF3 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Bump for two great lookin bikes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVS1 Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 thanks, I've always been into 2 strokes and the raptor was only supposed to be a clean up and flip type bike, but I couldn't stop. I'm still reluctant to sell the Banshee because I've had it so long and am attached to it, the Raptor I want to get rid of BEFORE I get too attached to it. hahaha Seriously though, I'm stepping up to a big daddy long travel sandrail and need the money and space. A couple more pix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steenasbanshee Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 nice raptor. i know its not a 'appples to apples' comparison, but how does that raptor compare to a banshee, or vise versa i should say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

714banshee380 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 One more thing i see on the banshee you said there was a "flame billet package" Where did you buy the chrome package??? is there a website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVS1 Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 As far as comparing the Raptor to the Shee, the suspension is completely aftermarket on the Raptor so the ride and handling is just way more bitchin than the Shee. As far as power, I thought my piped banshee was fast until I got on the raptor. It flat out RUNS, not walks, away from the banshee. The power band is really broad on the raptor, lots of torque. If your in too high of a gear, most times just give it the throttle and it will pick up, where as the shee you probably already know that you need to be in the Rs to really take off. I don't know, I really like both bikes for their pros/cons. As far as the chrome goes, when I stripped both bikes to coat the frames, I just took some pieces to a local chroming shop. Small pieces like pegs and mounts are pretty cheap, its when you do A-arms, swingers, sub-frames, etc when the price can go up. Thanks again fellas...

DVS1 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 TTT I could come down on the banshee a bit, probably not on the Raptor as I'm already taking a big loss. I'll "entertain" offers though :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
