Thought id share a bit of a side project ive got going on, i bought a Raptor 700 08 quad proberbly 2 years ago now as i thought itd save doing my bike test i could just hop on this and blast about on the road.

Ended up using it offroad and had lots of fun on it, but the dirt just gets everywhere and if it drys on its a nightmare to clean off/out of all the nooks and crannies. So in the end it was looking quite shabby so i decided to strip it all down and clean it up and get it looking fresh again.

So this is how it was

Just started off by doing small sections at a time at the moment so i dont lose loads of parts, So the rear axle... ive replaced the bearings as the old ones were fucked

Was suprised at how well the powdercoating can be masked off

Then i looked at the engine and getting it clean up and replacing some of the gaskets.

Nice. Are you planning any changes to make it more suited to the road, or keep it dual purpose? I assume it'n not too hard to make it road legal if it isn't already.

That's the only one I can find on my phone. Scooter tyres on the front, R1 shocks too. Sat very low.
