Raptor Chapter

Sort of bike related, so here goes. I have severe hearing loss in both ears (no, not due to 'er indoors!), and it will get worse as I age, and it is! I have the opportunity of being fitted with a BAHA which requires an implant (abutment) in my skull which a hearing aid attaches too. This allows bone...

Only had head shake on my 1000 under very hard acceleration, but it settles down once you reach the desired speed.
I don't find it disconcerting at all, if anything I find it re-assuring and certainly don't feel that it will turn into a slapper.
It's just a bit more feed back!

That's not your Mother is it. I'd rather have a Doombar please, cheers.

Thanks for that weirdo, I've just popped to the shed to start it while it's dark cant see any little sparks (apart from those from the neighbours lol) :lol: :lol: :lol: My bikes running a little rough at low revs. Some so called "friends" have said it's the rider, but I'm pretty sure it's...

Isn't the fold in the footrest mounting bracket? They should then fold in any position.

Welcome Andrea. I've never been to Italy but it must be a great place to produce so many beautiful motorcycles.
Let's hope some of your sunny weather makes it's way over to us.

How ignominious, was anyone watching? Hope you mend soon, but you're not missing anything weather wise at the moment. As for the blood it's a timely reminder to us all that we may be in need of it one day. I have donated blood regularly for years but was identified as having a high platelet count, s...

Similar to our walk this morning - minus the dogs as we don't have any.
I'm sure this time last year I was out on my patio basking in the sunshine.
That was before the rains came of course! .

Yeah, I've heard the gossip about you ..... oh, hang on, I thought that said "I'm infamous" !

Welcome JJT. Mines a pint of Doombar please.

We cant be a million miles from each other so, as soon as I get my Raptor back together maybe we can meet up sometime.

Have a look on here OEM Motorparts , but make sure you have a tight hold on your credit card.. I've just received (Friday) my first consignment from them and can vouch for their integrity. Kept me informed of progress via email and delivered within the quoted period. So, you can get what you need b...

Hmmm... I could be up for this, it would be good to see a few other Raptors.
Not so sure about other Raptor owners though!

I will consult my busy social calendar and see if I can squeeze it in.
How many are going at the moment?

Welcome back Oaf. So, did you think you were turning Japanese, turning Japanese, did you really think so? :biggrin: (well, someone had to say it) My Raptor is having a makeover, but it's taking a loooonnnnggg time as I always seem to be at work! I too need a few "bits" so I would also be h...

Hello again everyone, I've been hibernating! Advice please. I've just had my wheels, swing arm and footrest hangers powder coated, and very nice they look too. However, they powder coated the whole wheel including the disc mounting area. Do I need to take this back to bare metal, as original and lik...

Sympathy coming your way.... .

I'm so glad I have a nice warm garage to take my bikes apart in.
It's just getting them back together that I find difficult .
