I sold the Rap for "American-Mikko" on autumn 2003 and he´s gone very deep with the Raptor-theme... Technically it´s still same, with superb suspension etc...

Here is few not very good pictures I found on the Web taken from local car and bike show.

I like it, maybe not such a dull colour but i've been toying with something along those lines for mine.

I like the zaust and the engine casing they really do look tasty!

I like it too,but as an ornament.looks good to look at all clean and polished,but a real bike is there to be riden and mine is -rain,snow,sun,wind,whatever the gods throw at me.its my only transport other than walking.so needs to be practicle,that just would not look good dirty.you can tell what the owners done,but if dirty would use the paint design and look more like my dog (if I had one)had thrown up on it.still its good that hes made the effort to be unique and make people notice raptors.like the brake lever too whats that off.

Hmmm i know what you mean about the paintwork looking a bit shabby if ridden in all weathers.

I too ride mine all year, i don't drive and use my bike almost every day but i'd stil like a flash paint job. My idea is to get most things powder coated and as little as possible polished so a quick spray over with the jet wash and gunk should keep it looking decent.

A thought Ooga

- any chance that Ace could find a near match for the graphite (exhaust hanger colour) on the Rap? I need mine re-doing and could do with the wheels matching as well since the last blast with a jet washer has knocked off various bits of paint that was being held on by nothing more than WD40 and the winter's grime. Otherwise I might go for a darker version of the blue on the tank.

That is superb.

Anyone know where that front mudguard comes from?
