James serviced my 2021 Polaris Ranger 570 Crew and replaced the front wheel bearings and tie-rod ends. He was always professional and responsive in all our communications. There was no up-selling, just straight talk. James immediately diagnosed the issues with our machine, ordered and received materials and parts, and completed the service and repairs at a very fair price in under a week. A very refreshing experience compared to our prior experiences with local dealerships ! I highly recommend James to anyone who needs service or repairs to their side-by-side, ATV or motorcycle.

Had an 06 cbr 1000rr that had issues starting up from work done of a previous mechanic. James was upfront about diagnostics, cost, and, time frames. James keeps in contact and communicates in a timely manner. The issue was resolved and recommendations were made which was greatly appreciated. 10/10 recommend going to him for any work needed on ATV s or motorcycles.

Very professional second to none very detail and honest, I usually do my own repairs, but from now on this is one place, I will trash for my annual service to my side-by-side. You cannot go wrong at drapers motorsports performance. I took my side-by-side in limping, and it came out pimping, I am so happy I have my workhorse back you need to go there and find out for yourself highly recommend it

SAVE THIS PHONE NUMBER James is a BEAST when it comes to fixing ANYTHING powersports related!! His establishment is conveniently located and he works with all hours of pick up. James performed a top end rebuild on our 2005 Suzuki Eiger which he even included valve seals and reset which is more then most service departments do. He also checked the ATV and found shot wheel bearings and our winch motor was shot. He worked with us on the additional work and kept it to change out the wheel bearings and installed a new winch which he went and picked up himself!!! Hands down our experience with James and his thoroughness through each step of the process is amazing. He is also every sympathetic to our needs and untrusting ways since we got screwed over by several bike shops. He worked with compassion and empathy to build our trust He will forever be our go to guy for all our ATV and motorcycle needs. You can t find a better, more loyal, trustworthy and honest powersport mechanic His turn around time is the fastest we ve ever experienced The Arroyo s

I brought my 2001 yamaha raptor 660 into James with Draper motorsports after two other mechanics failed to resolve my power issues. James did a phenomenal job the first time. I was impressed with his knowledge and experience, along with his ability to explain throughly the issues throughout my experience with him. My raptor is better than ever. Thank you so much!

Fast, professional, reasonable and informative!Last month, and after an awful experience with Ride Now Powersports in Daytona and being charged $$ to confirm my motor was blown, I decided to remain local and roll the dice on a man I knew nothing about. Over the phone, James sounded knowledgeable and courteous.The day after I had dropped my UTV off with him, he called and confirmed that my motor was bad. Instead of suggesting a crate motor as Ride Now had, James suggested a rebuild. He provided an estimate I could live with and got to work when parts arrived . He sent pictures of my motor before and after rebuild and even gave a better warranty than Polaris. I saved $$, got better service and even learned a thing or two. This guy is the real deal, knows his craft and knows how to treat people!

I m a long time Ranger owner and have struggled to find a shop that s willing to spend to time to find the real source of the problem. James is the guy that refuses to let a machine outsmart him. He won t quit or leave you with a partial repair- he just figures it out! I ve been to dealers here and in Georgia that combined didn t perform half as well as James. If I could rate at 10 stars I would.

I called James up asking for some help with my motorcycle. Brought into him the next day, and within less than a week, he had Archangel running beautifully again! I appreciated how easy, friendly, and affordable he is. Thank you, James! You're my number 1 when my bike's in trouble

James did an excellent job on one of my four wheelers AND at late notice when we had an event to go to the next day. I would recommend his work to anyone. Now I've got to come back for tie rods since the guy in front of me stopped and I hit a hole to avoid him.

Our Hammerhead Dune Buggy Go Cart suddenly stopped running. After attempting to get it serviced from the dealer we purchased it from (the dealer was unresponsive to my service requests)--I found James online. I am very glad I did!From my first phone call, James was always available to answer questions. He worked the repair in a timely fashion, did a great job, and was affordable too! A+++ - Highly Recommended!

I turned over my grandsons Honda 600 CR and broke the fairings on it. I could not find anyone to repair it at a reasonable price so when I called the Motorsport company that I bought it from they suggested that I bring it to James. I called him and had it towed to his shop and I m so glad that I did. James was very reasonably priced and he made the bike look new again. I would recommend James to anyone that had any kind of bike problem. He was very nice man and I could not have asked for a better price or job than gave me. I will always bring it back to him for anything that happens to either of my bikes. He is a very fair and reasonably priced. He is a very honest and trustworthy person. Thanks James for the great job well done.

I've taken my side by side in for repairs and I always get my toy back in perfect shape. Draper Motorsports is an honest company who does great work. I definitely recomend them to all my friends. Who doesn't like affordable repairs on your side by side, or four wheelers!?

I called around a couple places to get my artic cat 700 fixed they all said they could not fix it. Then I found James I drop it off to him we discussed budget and other items with in a week or so he had it up and running like new. Now he has my Kaymco side by side to trick it out. James is the man and if he can't fix it no one can. Thanks James

Absolute motor master, he was referred by a buddy and I would refer him going forward. very professional and responds exceptionally well for a mechanic. Threw a rod through my block on my brute force 750 and he got me right, did the complete rebuild plus a manual 4x4 install. Passed some knowledge a long the way as well!! Most affordable ATV mechanic around !

I brought James a Can Am that needed an engine replaced, we discussed what we could do to get more power. After he spent countless hours researching possible solutions we ended up rebuilding the engine to about 300cc larger than when we started. Any hiccup we ran into got promptly resolved. Currently I have about 2 hours on the rig since the engine was rebuilt; I could not be happier. I will give a further update in the future when the break-in period is over.

James is, to say the least, a mechanical wizard. In a months time and with a backed up schedule. He took my 2020 850 canam xmr with a locked up motor down to the bottom end. Split the cases and replaced everything that seemed the least bit problematic. He kept me well information through the whole process with pictures and explanations of what needed done and why. I heard threw the grape vines he was the guy, and wasn't in the slightest disappointed. Well worth the drive from Pensacola to Orlando (6hrs). Thanks James for your hard work. I know I didn't give you an easy task.

I was referred to James by Southern Cycles who work on my Harley. I had bought my son and I two dirt bikes for Christmas, but the front and rear suspension on mine were extremely under-sprung. James did the work on my forks and rear shock and had it ready within one day. Great guy who does great work. I highly recommend him and will use his services again if the need arises.

James did a fantastic job fixing my Polaris 850 sportsman Highlifter. He worked with me on both price and time on a fairly large job. He even took the time to send me pictures and concerns of things he found during the tear down, to which he fixed and still stayed on budget. I highly recommend and will be using for all future big jobs

After taking my can am outlander to the dealer they quoted me $5000 to rebuild the engine. I found James on a Google search and so glad that I did! He was almost half the price! He did a great job, finished the build earlier than I expected and sent pictures of the build as he completed it. Thanks James!

We purchased an Arctic Cat that had multiple undisclosed issues and couldn t find anyone who wanted to tackle repairs. I found Draper s online and based on his great reviews, we drove 3 hours from N FL to him. He was very thorough in his inspection and quickly repaired the ATV at a very reasonable cost. Highly recommend him!! R Jones

We purchased a used Suzuki Kingquad that came with several issues, issues that James even had a hard time trying to fix but James took his time and got the problem fixed. He was always in communication with us to inform us how everything was going. It took time and several attempts but now the atv is running like a beast. I would highly recommend James, don t hesitate to get your repairs done with him.

We just had out Quad serviced by James (Mr. Draper). We found him to be quite knowledgeable and polite. He performed the general service on our ATV. He also fixed the front light housing and did a great job detailing the ATV, which was not part of the deal. All in all he did a good job at a competitive price with extensional customer service. We will definitely come back to him for all our future service needs, and recommend him to our friend and family!!

I would definitely recommend James Motorsports. I have a 2017 artic cat wildcat trail 700 in no dealers could find the parts to fix it. My son and I found out about James and he made calls and found all parts to do a complete engine rebuild also he very knowledgeable of the artic cat brand. He did the work in a timely manner and was completely honest during the process. I will be taking all of my toys to James in the near future should I have any issues. Thanks again James
