Hello mate, there are no dedicated V-Raptor bellypans, any for a TL1000 based bike (TL, SV, V-strom etc.) will fit.
This http://www.raptorchapter.org.uk/viewtop ... ator+cover might help with the rad cover.

Ah, I hadn't realised it was a rad guard you were after - I thought the stainless steel ones were a bit too bling, bling for my liking, I got a mesh one from FAB products on eBay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAGIVA-RAPTOR ... 3370d6fdfb, it came with some extra mesh so I bought some "pinch pleat" from a local auto restoration shop (Oz - Rare Parts) and made up the oil cooler guard myself, and pretty spiffy they look now:

Much better than the really shiny Beowulf ones. They are a bit blingy for even the likes of me who likes everything super shiny!!
Hmmmmmm, must add that to the list of wants for Xmas
Are they easy fitment, don't have to take off the radiator to fit do you? Mine might have a hissy fit and leak if I did that!

Your Rapter looks like a sci fi robot dragon! and it breaths fire too! It singed my eye brows and boiled my eyes at the lights! smudge

Re: Radiator cover and belly pan wanted
Yup, easy to fit, has a couple of little hooks that go over the top of the rad, and comes with a wee mounting bracket thingo that attaches to the rad support bracket on the bottom, kerbside, of the rad - I think I maybe removed a washer/spacer thing to take account of the extra depth of stuff being secured to that hole, and it's a (very minor) fiddle to get the things to line up again, but no liquid was spilled nor tears shed during installation
Oil cooler guard was a nice wee project that gave me a fair amount of satisfaction, if you go down this path then let me know and I'll write up how I did mine.

Re: Radiator cover and belly pan wanted
Looks great, if you are planning to do this be careful taking of rubber mounts from the the rad, some of them are to stop it cracking... An original raptor problem

No mounts removed, just metal washer, IIRC.

Re: Radiator cover and belly pan wanted
LOL, that's what I thought originally, but the "pinching" seems to come from the fact that it has a metal spine so you do actually pinch it into place to secure it!
Anyway we've strayed slightly off the original topic, so I posted instructions over here - http://www.raptorchapter.org.uk/viewtop ... =11&t=4043.
