I’ve got a huge thank you to publicly give to Raptor Titanium!

Earlier this year, I lost my stepfather. He had been married to my mother since I was four years old, so I considered him my dad. He was a huge motocross fan who grew up in South Los Angeles and was part of the moto scene from pretty much the very beginning. He even owned Bay Area Cycle Centre, a KTM and Bultaco dealership, in the 1970s and ’80s.

About 25 years ago, our neighbor started calling him PapaMoto — long before any grandkids arrived. The nickname stuck, and he became well known as PapaMoto to friends and family. By the time the grandkids came along, PapaMoto was simply his name.

I recently purchased a lightly used 2025 KTM 450 SXF FE with only 3.5 hours on it (that’s another story). While buying parts to set up the new bike, Raptor footpegs were on the list. During checkout, I noticed they offer custom engraving if wanted. The engraving I wanted was one character too many for the online form, so I purchased the pegs and left a note asking if it would be possible to add one extra character. Within 12 hours, I received an email saying the pegs had shipped — along with a picture of the requested engraving!

In a world of throwaway parts and miserable customer service, Raptor Titanium came through with excellence. The final product brought a tear to my eye and created a perfect tribute to my late father that our entire family loves.

THANK YOU, RAPTOR TITANIUM!

I will forever be a faithful customer

RIP to Papamoto. It sounds like he was a good man. 

On a tangent, I like how you matched your doghouse to your garage. 😁

Awesome company to work with. Being tall I was advised to get some offset footpegs from them. Contacted them on what ones i should get for my kx450. They were more than helpful and the pegs are awesome.
