My raptor 700r the day I bought it


Added street tires for street racing in Mexico



My Prowler XTZ1000 on the showroom floor the day Arctic cat brought it in

Up in the woods of Oregon


My brothers raptor 700r at Spokane Raceway Park ran a 13.38@90mph on street tires


Added more power and a wheelie bar to get full use out of the American Racer tires. Doing some test runs on an old air strip. 12s should be in the bag for 2011.

am i the only one who aims for the ruts and holes? all of these little crotch rockets. how about a submarine! king quad 750

3" lift, 30" tires, snorkled, sealed, with all transmission mods locked 4x4 front and rear. nobody expects a bike this big to stand up on the rack when you pop the throttle. i tried the race bike thing, not enough clearance, and the straight axle didnt fit my riding style. going around mud holes and ruts SUCKS. we dont have dunes around here either. i go through the obstacle instead of around. the bike behind mine is a grizzly with 2" lift and 28" tires.

nah, just put on you waiders and leather gloves! it doesnt get cold in houston anyways. we will be riding in shorts and a wind breaker tonight. i think the forecast says the low tonight is 62ish. i had those tires on my bike before the ones i have now. tell your buddy to try out the zillas for his next set. they are cheaper than the swamp lites and will drive circles around them. the grizzly parked behind mine proved it to me. thats when i did the upgrade and sold the swamp lites.

Not very good, I had holeshots in the back so they would try and push through a turn. I got a flat on the 3rd or 4th day also. Should have swapped out all 4 but got lazy and just swapped the rear 2. Most of the riding was on the prowler anyway

any clutch mods done yet? it completely changes the bike. mine would barely pull the front end on 27" tires, now it will do a back flip on 30's. the clutch mods are by far my favorite so far. even if you just install shims and springs.
