Had a little oopsie today leaving work. Front wheel locked up and sent me down. Only some minor damage which shouldnt be too expensive to replace

Scratched the tank :(

And the front fairing :/
Image

The reservoir has snapped from the screw and is currently held on with tape. Need a new one of these :/
Image

Handbar is bent! Is it possible to get clip-ons for the Raptor?
Image

This whole RH assembly has snapped. Need a new one for front brake lever. Anyone know where I can get one?
Image

All in all, bad day out :(

Sorry to hear about your spill, mate. Hope you didn't get hurt.

Try late 90's GSXR750 for your brake lever assembly.

Thanks for the tip. Will look into it. Im not too bad, just a few bruises really. More gutted abour the bike :(

As the handlebar is slightly bent and all the other stuff needs replacing, I was thinking about swapping the forks out for a GSXR set if its possible?

I believe early R1 forks or Aprilia Falco ones are quite common upgrades. Should be a thread on here somewhere

98-00 R1 forks fit straight into yokes, minor mods needed to R1 spindle to make it fit Rap wheel.

lots of suzi RHS brake perch will fit, aftermarket bars will fit without too much problem as long as they are not radically differant to original, clip-ons may require cable/wiring/etc modding to fit but everything is do-able.

Fit crash bungs in future to protect your tank from that kind of damage.
