Raptor Chapter

Does it make a big difference to steering ? Depends on both the number of clicks dialled in & the 'type' of steering done i.e. town or A road. Up to around click 3 & you don't really feel it but it then gets steadily more & more noticable until at click 7 you'd need arms like a gorilla ...

Looking good - do you mind if I ask you what you paid for that damper? I bought the damper 6/7 years ago after the off & I can’t really remember how much I paid for it. It’s pretty good quality mind, 7 click adjustable, and was part of a kit sold specifically for the Raptor (not the V). It came...

Well, I picked up 'ol rejuvenated Reggie today and did I pick the right day or what ? :D Couldn't have planned it better if I tried! After spending an inordinate amount of time fitting a steering damper, yes I know but after he spat me off & broke my collarbone I couldn't bring myself to put him...

I have spare indicator pods, I also think I have a fairing support bracket and fairing, drop me a PM if you are interested. I'm in Derby, but travel a lot for work so might even be able to deliver, so long as you are not in too much of a rush. If Miz aint got a fairing bracket i have one new and on...

It doesn't look to bad as long as nothing is bent. Get some proper pictures up of the whole bike with a price and see what happens. Well... things have changed a little. Norrie, I'd been thinking about your suggestion of using the bike & that's what I'm going to be doing. In the short term at l...

Here some photos - reduced in size but hopefully will show enough detail.

just that gap with a cold engine imho, I had one at low speed (cold engine) which totally phased me, but that's what I put it down to - but then that was 50k miles ago, I guess I didn't blame the bike so it didn't frighten me. I sympathise with your problem, Bath is an arse and a half at the best o...

Why don't you just keep the Raptor? You won't get much for it being that old with damage so you might as well fix it up and use it. Have you drained the tank and put in fresh fuel plus given it a service as it will need it. Norrie, will flush the tank & give her fresh oil & filters in due c...

Shebee, it's red - is there any other colour ? 8) ? I was only TPF&T, so I never involved the insurance guys, and as I say the damage was cosmetic with only the rear brake pedal needing replacement. You're correct regarding the battery mind. I fitted a new one at a couple of days ago & she f...

Evening all – Barman! a pint of mild & ten straws. A bit of a story but bear with me. I’ve being a 1000 V-Raptor (W reg) owner for quite a few years but for the last 7 or 8 I’ve had it SORN. Why? well, initially she tank slapped me off which broke my collar bone and it wasn’t as though I was dic...
