Raptor Chapter

The Raptor and V-Raptor have the same sprockets and chain, so it's ok to order one for the other and vice-versa. If I remember right it's 16T front and 40T rear. You might want to consider changing to 17/39 to match the TL1000 gearing and some say it reduces chain wear as the 17T front, being a prim...

Cheers, HiFi

It goes on the left hand side of the bike, just inside the cradle of the frame ahead of the regulator/rectifier. If you can wait until the weekend I can take a photo of mine?

There's a YouTube channel called "Harry's Garage" that you might have seen, it's run by Harry Metcalfe who was one of the founders of "Evo" magazine. He has a garage full of classic sports cars and interesting saloon cars and regularly posts videos about running and maintaining t...

Taxed and MOTd and ready to be ridden again after being stuck in the back of the garage since January 2019 [I know you don't need to see more pics of Raptors but what the heck ]
