GSXR CONVERSION
I've purchased a set of k4 GSXR 750 forks. Next I will look at the best/affordable brake setup. Two options are: 1. R6/R1 monobloc with matching master cylinder. Ducati 320mm rotors. Spacers will be required. 2. K5 GSXR tokico monobloc with matching master cylinder. Ducati 320mm rotors. Spacers will...

Re: Rear shock - Compatability
I believe 98 fireblade shock will fit or the Aprilia falco.
Might be able to find a bargain fireblade race shock, say Ohlins, but it will still need a different spring and probably need to be serviced.
I'm just going to save my pennies for a Nitron 2 way.

Re: 298mm standard disc rotors v 320mm
I will eventually race my v-raptor and will need better forks. I too wouldn't mind using 320mm rotors. When I get round to it I'll share info. I'm think k4 750 or k5 1000 forks and r1 monoblocs with matching master or Brembo. I think (hoping) the front rim can be retained with a Ducati or aprilia ro...

Re: New to the Raptor
What model forks and wheel did you run?
I've found 1000DS forks for a good price - and then I can retain the Cagiva callipers as they are the same.
So less likely to get questioned at a race meeting

Hi all - v-raptor
I didn't make my first post here - but have just purchased a v-raptor. Took it for it's first proper ride through the twisties last weekend. Bike is very easy to ride, suspension a bit average but I will sort this. The engine and frame are superb - bargain fun. Stay tuned, I'm already talking with m...

Re: New to the Raptor
Thanks for the info. The bolts pin things holding the bar on are all black, the front ones have just tarnished a bit. I'm not too concerned if it's been down the road - it was a cheapie. Indicator surrounds have also been painted so you may be right. Long term it will end up being raced so most of t...

Re: New to the Raptor
Nice bike, a V with Xtra horns, if my eyes don't deceive me. Welcome! :beer: EDIT: Triangles may give you ride height, search on here for anything you're interested in, there's HEAPS of good info around. What are Xtra horns? The carbon fake intake things? I assumed they were standard - I'll be hone...

Re: R1 forks what model
I run K4 GSXR600/760 forks on my SV650 race bike and they're a great setup.
I think they can for the raptor triples. I will investigate further.

Re: New to the Raptor
I 'd call 75000 reasonably high? Although other than some ticking noise which I believe is normal the bike feels very crisp - power everywhere. As for the forks, I've seen early r1 conversions bit I was thinking K4 Gsxr forks with the nice 04 onwards R1/R6 calipers. A full 748/996 conversion would b...

New to the Raptor
Hi all, Just picked this little thing up yesterday. So-far so good. It has high km's, but was cheap and is a third bike to add to the stable. For now I will enjoy it, road riding, track days, but eventually I may race it., Things to do now: 1. Go over all the rusted bolts 2. Service the supension 3....
