What 2 doo? .... Raptor 700

[FireKracker]

So, I got a hold of an '06 Raptor 700 (including title) that took a bit of a tumble down a hill....bent axle, steering stem, radiator, rear wheels, both headlights, and upper rails on the frame. My initial intentions were to rebuild and flip it. I have most parts in my garage except the frame. After watching eBay and some Raptor forums, looking for a frame, I have some reservations of continuing... my return would be higher if i just parted it out, although I was looking forward to the project.

So do I take a loss and enjoy the build or part it out and enjoy the cash?? Suggestions??

06 will probably bring you under $3500, depending on what you bought it for and what you have into the parts, it probably won't be worth it to flip.

Parting it will be almost as much work as building it and not nearly as satisfying. Only build if you want to keep another one in the stable. Or pass the project on to Brice. How's the Talking Heads thing going?

Just donate it to a good friend who needs to put down his tired 660 soon and upgrade to said quad.

Brice is working on it with me and we took a closer look at straightening it.... I couldn't do it and have a clean conscience (freaking ethics always getting in the way) hence the post... As far as Talking Headz goes.... I got 50 helmets in, 30 headset kits, and all licences / permits, just waiting on logo stickers and business cards..... WTF, starting a legit business sux ballz!!

I'd say to sell it, and get yourself an '08 those are fuel injected, trust me when I say it's worth it.

It's a Raptor, not a Rhino, all the 700's have efi

I forgot about this thread, bike is finished but I am still waiting on the DMV to send me the NV title then I will be posting. It was fun and informative to do a complete tear down. Bike turned out great!!

That is his company that makes helmet kits for car to car and intercom set ups. Nice product for sure. We sell them and I am sure you will see more stores picking them up soon.
