What did you do to your Raptor today

[Dante]

Well a radial master cylinder will make a difference.
No need for 19RCS etc.
I got one from a superduke.
You can really use the brakes at their full potential.
Try it before changing the lines.

Yeah i am more than happy with the braking power, i am not interested in stoppies but she does pull up extremely well. One other thing if i did go to a new radial m/c i would have to get rid of my nice vtech levers and mix and match

Today i fitted some Braking wave rotors,not the chinese ones , and some new pads. Also save 3/4 kilo in weight with the new rotors!

Damn they're hot!
Must. Get. Job.

BTW I'm not gonna recommend the HEL lines to anyone any more - I don't go out in the rain much but my banjo bolts are already looking pretty shit.
"Surely" they should have been made from 316 s/s, no?

I bought a limited edition rear line from goodridge, and you guessed it the s/s banjo bolts did not fit

Seemed like a good time to give the crappy front header a bit of a clean up. With some fine wet and dry it came up from rusty brown to nice s/steel but needs a lot more work but an improvement, before and after.

just put my poadercoated handlebars back on the bike. Love the look with mat black handlebars instead of shinny ones
Next up is a set of black levers that don't cost a lot of money and wrapping the back exhaust for heat isolation.

mate the handlebars look great, funny i just did mine a little while back in matt as well, makes it look a different beast ,i think it cost me $10
Now after a ride my nice shiny stainless front header has gone to a nice shiny bronze , looks even better now

Thanks. My wife made me order black levers as a gift from her to complete the bike so after a search on this forum i ordered black V-trec safety levers. Luckely they give a lot of discount at the moment. Can't wait to put them on.

Shiny bronze sounds nice!

The vtrecs are awesome, beautiful build quality , i got the 3 way adjustable ,folding as well with gold adjusters.

[Tikka]

Recieved the V trecs today. Straight fit, small adjustment required in adjusting the clutchcable.
Looks and feels awesome! Will try the out tomorrow since the weatherforecast it sun and 20 degrees celsius

Wow, looks great, time to ditch that fugly plastic reservoir and invest in a nice billet one?

[Tikka]

Hmmm, thanks. I didn't really noticed the reservoir, now i do . It's ugly like you said. Any tips for a nice one?

No fugly brackets but if you can find one that goes directly into the master

[Spyke]

Yeah sorry about that! I love the Evotech ones which are quite expensive, but are things of beauty:


Pretty expensive but they do do matching rears and you can pick almost any colour combo.

If you've won a lottery recently then Rizoma are worth a look: http://www.rizoma.com/universal/fluid-tanks/en

I went to eBay UK and searched for "billet reservoir" and got quite a few hits, the M Factory ones at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321366586655 look quite good and the copies of the Rizoma ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390944770258 don't look too shabby either.

One day I will buy Rizomas next series fluid reservoir...


Those are sooo beautiful!
