Title: What do yall think?
Post by: BigRanger on October 13, 2005, 04:23:51 PM
I recently got an 05 raptor 350. Its not what I wanted but I couldn't pass up the deal. I'm somwhat of a beginner but I like to hit jumps and ride wheelies. I know I need at least a slip on and an air filter, but other than that, what should I do to the quad to make it a decent freestyle machine. I already got better handle bars but thats it.

If possible, please let me know the approximate cost of products you recomend. I'm trying to keep it around 1000$ including whatever pipe and filter I get. I dont want to get too expensive because I know that I will get a 450 when I can afford one.

I heard that if you have a durablue axle and bend it that they will replace it for free.

Freestyle upgrade....

definitely switch the rear swing arm and the front shocks out to a set of elkas with the linkage package.


Also, I use a pair of handlebars off a little honda 80...they're small and I can get my legs over them quicker for knack knacks and heel clickers.

Just remember not to land two hard on the 80 handlebars. If you're a big guy like me, they'll probably snap like a twig.
