What would you like to do to your Raptor today?

Post by Spyke »

I like a bit of web surfing with my morning coffee, today I'm coveting some discreet switches.

Snowing in April, yikes! Yeah the major reason I left Edinburgh was the fact that global warmings gonna turn off the gulf stream and make Scotland colder, that was the last straw.

Anyway today I'd LIKE to finish off my damper service, but methinks I need to borrow or build a puller to get the end back in, or take it to someone who knows what they are doing.

Glad to hear you finally chose a skirt ozz, that's been a long time coming!

I would like a magic wand waved over mine. To magically fix it all to rideable.

It's also slashing it down and it's the Tour de Yorkshire. .... Ooo soggy lycra, rather them than me!

Another day, another desire.....it looks to me as if this integrated tail light could be frigged into fitting a Raptor, to good effect, any non-poor Raptorians out there willing to test it out?! :mrgreen:

I already have an LED integrated tail light fitted, smart as heck and tidies up the rear even more.

I would like to fit the integrated rear lights but because they are not legal it would worry me , not because the lights are hard to fit but reversing all the other mods in the event, and the indicators stand out like dogs balls. So i will just put up with my mini indicators and ultra bright led brake light :happyhappy:

I think the problem is that they often don't have LEDs that are bright enough to provide enough contrast.

I think one of our Nordic chums has one of these two, but finds the indicator function a bit dim.

I wonder if this one might possibly be a bit brighter, although I'm not sure I'd want the blue light bit, at least it's much more affordable than the Blaster one.

Mine is from a Yamaha Aerox 100. BMW Funduro has exactly the same. MBK also, i don't know which model though. I am looking for a clear lens, if anyone has a spare let me know.
It's all greek to me....
