Raptor 650 aftermarlet exhaust

I put GPR cans and link pipes on mine. Sounds perfect with the baffles out. Mines a carb model, so I did put bigger mains in to get the fueling right.

Bolts straight in to Raptor yokes, but you need to move the axle 2mm to the left (viewed from when sitting on the bike facing forward). This moves the wheel...

Cheer's HiFi , i've been looking at them . Anyone bought off them ? Was wondering what quality & delivery was like ? I bought a tank cover from them last year, or maybe year before. Very expensive, took ages to get to the UK. Nice real carbon, but not a good fit as the mounting holes did not li...

Hi everyone, newbie alert!

With the GSXR1000 USD front end I've fitted. Much more compliant and better brakes! https://am3pap003files.storage.live.com/y4mnzRsJEk5ChtxUGxcj6-6dcP6entW4KPtBXmvVApyajacZAR6WG7p2dsPiqooQz0OuwXFgWL8jd9M_EuNHJaUUId7nYsOmKcuAkDNk-h8fMEHNMC7kvGcQ8zXrMm23G4_dJzNrOIjwMM1ZL-1nYtt4wt9cMGogqyJJvcFH-xfKAFKK...

Headlight MOT Failure

UK Historic Vehicle status is after 40 years unfortunately for tax and MOT exemption unfortunately.
My old Goldwing has just been made exempt, but we'll have to wait quite a while for our Raptors! :ride:

Re: Tank fix

Thanks, probably won't do mine until next year, so you can be the trailblazer :)

No fuel pump housing on mine, so could be even more difficult.

Re: Tank fix

Mine has a few bubbles on the visible tank surface, so will be interested in how you get on with the fix.

Some say it's water vapour seeping through the plastic, which comes out of water saturated ethanol in the fuel?

Re: Hi everyone, newbie alert!

The 1000 is probably louder than the 650 :)

Re: Hi everyone, newbie alert!

Thanks, yes without baffles, sounds great!
Those baffle circlips were hard to remove though....

Engine fuelling seems fine, although it had gutted standard cans when I bought it, so the previous owner may have up-jetted the carbs.
