Hi all - v-raptor

Post by Lexio62 »

I didn't make my first post here - but have just purchased a v-raptor.
Took it for it's first proper ride through the twisties last weekend.
Bike is very easy to ride, suspension a bit average but I will sort this.
The engine and frame are superb - bargain fun.

Stay tuned, I'm already talking with my Penske supplier to see what can be done about the rear and I will try to look into a fork swap.

The maxton fork upgrade is too expensive - I think 04/05 GSXR forks will fit.

But if anyone can chime in - where can I buy rearsets that also have pillion pegs? I found one Italian company but they haven't returned my email.

Welcome in, nice tidy looking bike you've got there. Heaps of info on here about GSXR forks, and some on rearsets if you search. I'll just have a coffee too, thanks, heading out for a ride soon.
Road racing's where it's at - going round in circles all day is for hamsters.
