What did you do to your Raptor today
Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Well a radial master cylinder will make a difference.
No need for 19RCS etc.
I got one from a superduke.
You can really use the brakes at their full potential.
Try it before changing the lines.

Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Yeah i am more than happy with the braking power, i am not interested in stoppies but she does pull up extremely well. One other thing if i did go to a new radial m/c i would have to get rid of my nice vtech levers and mix and matchDante wrote:Well a radial master cylinder will make a difference.

Re: Wave rotors
Damn they're hot!ozzraptor wrote:Today i fitted some Braking wave rotors,not the chinese ones , and some new pads. Also save 3/4 kilo in weight with the new rotors!
Must. Get. Job.
BTW I'm not gonna recommend the HEL lines to anyone any more - I don't go out in the rain much but my banjo bolts are already looking pretty shit.
"Surely" they should have been made from 316 s/s, no?

I bought a limited edition rear line from goodridge, and you guessed it the s/s banjo bolts did not fitSpyke wrote:Damn they're hot!ozzraptor wrote:Today i fitted some Braking wave rotors,not the chinese ones , and some new pads. Also save 3/4 kilo in weight with the new rotors!

Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Seemed like a good time to give the crappy front header a bit of a clean up. With some fine wet and dry it came up from rusty brown to nice s/steel but needs a lot more work but an improvement, before and after.
Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
just put my poadercoated handlebars back on the bike. Love the look with mat black handlebars instead of shinny ones
Next up is a set of black levers that don't cost a lot of money and wrapping the back exhaust for heat isolation.

Now after a ride my nice shiny stainless front header has gone to a nice shiny bronze , looks even better now
Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Thanks. My wife made me order black levers as a gift from her to complete the bike so after a search on this forum i ordered black V-trec safety levers. Luckely they give a lot of discount at the moment. Can't wait to put them on.
Shiny bronze sounds nice!

Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Wow, looks great, time to ditch that fugly plastic reservoir and invest in a nice billet one?

Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Hmmm, thanks. I didn't really noticed the reservoir, now i do . It's ugly like you said. Any tips for a nice one?
Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
No fugly brackets but if you can find one that goes directly into the masterTikka wrote:Hmmm, thanks. I didn't really noticed the reservoir, now i do . It's ugly like you said. Any tips for a nice one?
Re: What did you do to your Raptor today
Yeah sorry about that! I love the Evotech ones which are quite expensive, but are things of beauty:
Pretty expensive but they do do matching rears and you can pick almost any colour combo.

If you've won a lottery recently then Rizoma are worth a look: http://www.rizoma.com/universal/fluid-tanks/en
I went to eBay UK and searched for "billet reservoir" and got quite a few hits, the M Factory ones at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321366586655 look quite good and the copies of the Rizoma ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390944770258 don't look too shabby either.
