GEEZERS NEED EXCITEMENT

Post by KLAUS VON BENSKI »

geezers need excitement, so I've just put a deposit on a Raptor 1000, should pick it up on around december 18th (peak summertime in deepest suffolk).

I want to maximise the "dug, dug, dug, dug" sound - leo vince slip ons have been suggested. Would any of you learned raptor geezers suggest otherwise?

Then again I might change my mind and buy a speed triple at the last moment...

I'm a mere 5ft 9 and a 1/4 (don't forget the quarter), so I'd be fine - thanks anyway Sheebee, but do you or anyone else know about exhausts for Raptors - the best options etc..??

Yeah go for it !

Cans? may I suggest 'MIVV' they do a type approved range with removable baffles. They can be sourced from Motohaus.

Welcome aboard.

Mivv

I have Mivv on my bike, admittedly they are not strictly road legal but they do sound fantastic. Only £200 for two carbon fibre cans and connecting pipes bit of a bargain also.

When you do get pipes, let me know if you want a K&N freeflow air filter to go with them.

Also for sale, I've got a Hyper Pro rear shock with ride height adjustment.

Exhausts

If you're searching for near Akrapovic finish and sound but with softer price...you have to buy Arrows Race Tech Titanium.

I have equipped every of my Raptors (3 since here) with it and never regretted my choice. :D
