Now araf is at it. Surely the best raptor would be the moto gp model with the yamaha chassis engine and suspension and Jorge Lorenzo riding it :nod:

Hey there!

belly pans come up on ebay at times and powerbronze and pyramid plastics made them too.

A SV650 should also fit which should widen (and cheapen) the possibilities.

If an SV1000 pan fits on a 1000 Raptor, coz I have one, then I would imagine an SV650 pan 'should' fit on yours .......

Only thing is, theres so many available for the SV :thumbsup:
Just ask them in the shop near you if you can have a gander at the fitting in a cheeky manner!
Oh aye...... how doooooooo :P
