Re: FRONT FORK SWAP ?

yes I did and yes 30 odd pages came up, many had nothing to do with what I asked
some had a few words about it and a couple gave some info
but not the questions I asked
mr grumpy, taking a big and expensive job on is allways best when you know
as much as possible
thanks

swinging arm swap ?

does anyone know if there are any swinging arms from other bikes that fit the raptor 1000 without much hassle or modification ? I must admit the standard raptor one looks quite feeble compared to some and with all the power must be flexing a fair bit under load ? I did consider bracing the standard ...

Re: Bar Risers ?

army your idea would work
they are the only ones iv'e seen that will work but a touch expensive at around £40 and

Bar Risers ?

Has anyone found anywhere that sell handlebar risers for the Raptor ?
i never noticed when I bought my new fat bars and clamps that the Rappy had angled bar clamps
so I have wasted £40+ as they will not fit, surely someone sells risers like this ?
thanks
