Raptor Chapter

It's gonna look amazing.
Keep going!

Got piece from machinist and test mounted it, of course.



Next job is to finish striping and send parts to sodablaster.
Check more pictures at my Drive.

Strip is now completed, parts are taken to blaster. After he is done his job it is time for powder coat.

I was thinking red (RAL 3003) for frame and swingarm. Rest of the blasted parts going to get black powder coat. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to paint bodywork also...
I've started to worry if summer is coming too fast.

Red swingarm?Are you sure?

I'm pretty sure.
I've carbon fiber swingarm cover so it won't be all red.

Got parts back from powder coat.
I like red paint, black not so sure. I thought it was black, but it isn't. My parts are something called black brown. All I can blame is myself, accidentally picked wrong color.

Found what I've been looking for very long time.
RBT rearsets

Nice - but at what cost?!

200€ + shipping, not bad I think?
Need new pegs, old ones have had couple of asphalt touches.

Couple of pictures from progress so far.

Starts to look like a bike again.

I like RBT-rearsets.

Very, very nice It's great to see a 'proper' job performed with care & skill.

BTW what handlebars is it wearing & are you going to be sticking with them? They look to be more high rise than most of the flat bars fitted.

Bar is LSL Flat Track and I'm going to stick with them.
I'm pretty short rider and like to have handlebars close to my upper body. LSL Flat Track bars does that job better than my previous bars have done.

Sprayed base coat to engine... Far from perfect, hopefully it will last season or two.
Also did got new job which will slow my rebuild. Maybe I've to leave some of the updates for coming winter.

Great Job!
Just one question, have the wheel base increased with this swingarm?
