The forks are supposed to be Monster S4 but I doubt it. They are longer but with the rear jacked up should suit me as I am 6 foot. Yes my imola was in the pick best handling bike I have ever owned only problem I couldn't move properly for days after riding it. Back to the forks I have managed to get...

Darma heads every house should serve a bikers needs. The dining room was getting tired so a complete redesign was needed.Now before I diverse too much this thread is about the build so here's the mock up so far with the new forks which incidentally vat and import duty applies if a item is over £135.

I have sourced a new upgraded adjustable set still boxed in Italy they are on their way . Assuming I will have to pay vat and import duties they are still the cheapest option even more so as will have a very good left leg to sell . This will be the 3rd raptor I have owned the first being new in 2002...

Yesterday My mate and I separated the fork ( he is a Mechanical engineer ) I am just a 66 year old apprentice well we knackered it !
