Hi all. Did the Raptor 1000 ever come with a metal tank or where they all plastic? Thanks

Even the X3 raptor had a standard plastic tank

X3 - very nice :mrgreen:

Was this a final production effort or an (after market) special?

Thanks for reply. That was what I understood but talking to someone the other day who was insisting the 1000 should have a metal tank.

I can tell you my 1000 most definitely has a plastic tank, which i have recently lined to make it last longer.

And what looks like an Aprilia Millie swing arm, remote reservoir for the rear suspension and strangely a steering damper!

Not sure about the indicators in the mirrors, but apart from that it keeps the best bits from the V-Raptor and improves on them i would buy one!
