That's what I'm looking for. I know it's already quite a unique bike to own but I do like to make it even more different.
It's funny because I only ever bought this bike as a stop gap until I got myself back on my feet after splitting from my ex but I've really grown to love the bike now especially after putting my own touch into it. :mrgreen:

I like that you are putting your own stamp on it and the colour combo whilst not to my taste is starting to be easier on the eye than the first impression.
Be happy with that......... :happyhappy: :D

It's unique, and the colour scheme means the orange indicators kinda blend in, I'm glad you're chuffed!

Wow, only just seen this. It's fair to say there won't be another Raptor like this knocking about.

I imagine everyone has a good luck and even motorcyclists ask "what is it?"

TANGORAPTOR !!!! :woot:

Nice and different mate. :thumbsup:

Pipe looks good as well (it would show off an RSV swing arm very nicely i reckon), have you noticed any changes in performance with the 2 into 1 ?

Not had it out a proper run yet mate.
I had it out for a bit of a shakedown run after having so many bits off it and had a problem so had to come back but it felt ok. I think you would possibly have a problem with the 1000 but I reckon the 650 should be fine. The bikes not been running 100% lately but I've just fitted a new air filter and plugs so hopefully that will improve things. I'm still looking at rebuilding the carbs with all new gaskets, jets and needles and wondering whether to fit a Dynojet kit or not.

Had a good run out on it today and if anything it is running better than ever although it could be because I fitted a new air filter and plugs. :revrev:

Oh and I think I might just change my name to TangoRaptor. :thumbsup:
