Thanks K
Not sure what the risers are - the bike was set up like that when I purchased it. They don't look as good as the factory set up.
I'm slowly setting this bike up for the track/racing so I may end up with clip-ons once the suspension and rear-sets are sorted.

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 :)
You can retain calipers, but you need at least new discs because Ducatis uses 320mm discs.
Caliper mounting points might also need modifications.
I used Ducati Monster 1000 S4 forks, check out http://www.raptorchapter.org.uk/viewtop ... =20&t=4407
Thanks for the advice, although I wanted to keep it all as Italain as possible to retain the factory look and brembo callipers, I've just purchased K5 GSXR forks due to price and available parts. So will go down that path, radial mount callipers and 320mm brakes, retaining the raptor rim.
