Raptor Chapter

I picked up my Raptor yesterday to start my little proyect.
I bought cheap with a rear imact from a car so I need a new saddle and rear end.

Whooooop Whoooop was there a pic?

Is it going to be canary yellow?

To be honest my first idea was yellow as I have made two Canary yellow streetfighters before!
But now I"M not sure!
I have pulled the bike to parts to paint the chassis but I don't now if red or yellow!?
I allso gone take away the foot peg support as I want a cleaner look and make this nice chassis more visibly .
What's the maximum photo size to publish in this forum?
I can't find the way to publish them

To day I have cleaned all the pieces and I now beginning to plan how to design and relocate the supports for the footpegs making the lighter and thinner making chassis more visible

This afternoon I have cut of the superior tube from the rear subchassis to raise it a bit.
I have also been sitting on the bike with the gas tank and the seat on making an ide of where to put the footpegs, rear break and gear change.
As the bike I gone have low cafe racer stearing bars I have to move every thin making it ergonomic

To day I received the swing arm and I have allso been trying out the angle of the rear subchassis to make it look nice and in the wright place for the ride

Looking good... And serious garage envy going on here too

First I had the ide of making a Caferacer now I'M in a mix between caferacer, naked and streetfighter.
I went to a salvage looking for slip on steering bars, a nice seat, front lamp and rear lights.
The good thing with salvage yards is that they give me a lot of inspirations!
The local next to my job is the oficial MV Augusta show room and work shop and I have to say that the new Mv Augusta Dragster rear is just amazing!
So that's the rear end I want I can build the body wor for that but I need the seat and rear lights!
I founded the lights at the yunk yard for 30€!
They are from a Yamaha S-max 125 and i'm gone turn them upside down

Make mix and combine best of them, I don't like hardcore categorizing.

I think I gone low down the rear subchassis and make a more classic look this time

I think she looks great with her bum up in the air like that and reckon you should 'fighter her - cafes are nice but all the hipsters are ruining that niche for me.

Finaly the rear ende is pointin upp:-)
And I have just base coated the chassis.
The Ide is to have the bike ready next month....
