Raptor Chapter

Hi Boofhead - do you have the link to the carbon parts you've found? G'day Lexio, the companies name on ebay is Nuracing Carbon Fiber Parts apparently in California....hence why 'fibre'' is spelt wrong lol. I checked out their website to see if the bits were cheaper but it leads you back to ebay. T...

G'day all, Just a quick question. Are the infill panels under the seat & on the side of a Raptor interchangeable between Raptor/V-Raptor & Xtra-Raptor? I'm at my wits end at finding carbon bits from a reliable source. However there is an American company selling these items on ebay, but the ...

G'day there fellow Raptor enthusiasts, I was wondering if anyone has replaced the swing arm on their bike with anything other than the usual RSVR Aprilia conversion? I'm keeping my options open for when the time comes for my bikes rear end to be tricked up after I finish the front end. Maybe some so...

G'day there. I'm in the middle of doing a similar conversion, so here is a few things to look out for. I will do a full report on 'how to' when I'm done & have ridden the Rap for a while, like I did with the 'clutch conversion revisited'. This may be a little way off due to outside forces gettin...

G'day everyone in Raptor land, Thanks for everyones input on this rotor topic, however it's a false alarm! sorry The GSX-R K4/K5 have 300mm rotors & the forks are nearly identical in length etc to the Raps (which is why I chose them & I also like to keep mods Suzuki) but the GSX-R rotors hav...

G'day everyone in Raptor land, I was wondering if anyone has put 320mm rotors on their Rap and if it was worth it, or are they not suited to the Rap? The reason I ask is that I'm getting closer to finishing my GSXR K4/K5 fork conversion and I was considering using the bigger rotors as it would be ea...

G'day everyone in Raptorland, I had NGK Iridium plugs in my bike until they started playing up after doing slightly less than 25000 k's. The problem was very intermittent, making it a little difficult to pin point what was wrong (power cutting out, running on one cylinder etc). So after figuring out...

G'day everyone once again, I'm quite surprised that my post was worth creating a new thread, so I guess it must be of some use then :D I had been meaning to put the info together for ages & finally put this clutch saga to bed because it was a real chore trying to find & add together all the ...

more pics that didn't attach to the above post

G'day everyone in Raptor land, I'm having another crack at getting this clutch conversion uploaded with pics finaly sorted. I did forward the pics to shebee's hotmail account, but maybe I got the ady wrong, I'm not sure. Anyhow here we go........ All parts I purchased were new with the exception of ...

G'day Jayjayridge, I need to correct & also add a couple of small bits that I missed 'cause I had quite a few beverages while I was typing!! First of all it's best to use the DL1000 V-Strom or SV1000 sprocket covers rather than modifying the Rap cover. The reason being is that the Suzuki sprocke...

G'day Jayjayridge, I converted my Rap to a hydraulic clutch a bit over 12 months ago & I'm glad that I did. After doing some research from the Raptorchapter, the TL/DL forums, & picking a couple of Suzuki mechanics brains, this is how I went about it. I used Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom parts over ...

G'day there fellow Rap lovers, have any of you blokes had anything to do with Scarlatti carbon products (I think they're in Romford)? Their site has a great range of carbon bits for Raps and I have contacted them to ask some questions about their products before purchasing them, but they never respo...

G'day all, Here in the land of Oz we tend to travel big miles often. It's not unusual for us to do 300 miles (480 K's) on an days ride. Yesterday I rode to Kempsey which is a 160 mile round trip with my brother (he rides an RSVR, I want the little pricks swingarm...lol) to watch the Akubra classic. ...

G'day all, after may last post & reading previous posts by other Rap enthusiasts about fork replacement, I've discovered so many options for which I must say thanks to everyone on this site. But I'm still not sure what rotors from other bikes fit a Rap rim particularly if I go to 320mm discs (I ...
