Raptor Chapter

Blue light Globe?

Here in Oz we can buy light globes that have a light blue tint. They give off a much whiter light than a normal halogens do, sort of a poor mans HID. Works well for spotting the occasional kangaroo i encounter in my area.

I have a 90/100w bluelight globe in mine. It's makes a world of difference & have had no angry high beam flashes from oncoming traffic.

Hi All,

I finally have the triangles made & installed. What a difference, it tips in a whole lot better & feels great.
I have 2 more sets for sale if anyone is interested. I wiil try & get some estimates for shipping to the uk.

Hi all, Just an update. I have fitted the Nisin GSXRthou radial M/C to the Rap along with HH sintered pad's (thanks for another tip Cavia) & it feels great! Two finger sphincter puckering Fun! The combo will get a good testing this weekend when i take the Rap to Eastern Creek Raceway for a track...

Hey Ducs,

Where are you at in NSW? I'm in Newcastle & have an X-Rap Carbon cowl.
I think they are the same as the standard ones. Feel free to let me know if you want a closer look.

Cheers
Chad

If you decide to use 6mm ally then you will have to buy some longer bolts for the triangles (m10*1,25 fine pitch)

Thanks for the info Cavia, I have now aquired some 4.4mm 7075 so i don't have to get new bolts.

I will still have some extra sets available if anyone wants some.

Thanks for the heads up Evil,

I have been informed that its 7075.

When you say you have done a full & intermediate lift, are you refering to cavia's drawings as full lift & then gone in between that & standard for intermediate?

Hi All, A while ago i downloaded Cavia's drawings (thanks mate) for rear lift triangles. After much ringing around & chasing some high grade aluminium i had no luck. All i could get was mid strength 5000 series & i wasn't going to trust it. I didn't think the holes pulling through, followed ...

I think your new headlamp/fairing thing should look good on the raptor; is there a name on it so we know what to look out for on fleabay? Sorry Oldlongdog, there are no markings on it at all. Was advertised as second hand off a ZX9 Fighter by a dealer in England somewhere. Cost me nearly as much ag...

Hi All, After a eye+popping blast on a Benelli TNT Sport on the weekend, i have come to the conclusion my Rap doesn't stop! It just slooows! Can anyone give me some info on front wavy discs? I have read some old posts & some members have them (what brand etc). I saw on ebay a while ago someone s...

Oldlongdog wrote" . Post some pics when it's done... that's if you're still alive after your missus finds out you put it on the immaculate looking lemon chintz to take the pic! And is that a triffid in the background? - Yikes! I will do, will be a few weeks away yet. No Missus to complain about...

Hi Evil, I had a fouled plug not long after i got mine, a mate with a TLR put it down to me touching the throttle on start-up. I now use NGK Iridiums, dont touch the throttle & have had 8,000km trouble free. A colder plug could cause a bit of detination, especially if your running low octane fue...

Would look pretty similar to this I should imagine (although this screen looks shorter to me) http://motoprofi.com/imgs/a/a/h/h/g/cagiva_xtra_raptor_1000_2005_2_lgw.jpg Like most things, it's down to personal preference. Owning a Raptor means you already have impeccable taste, so it all depends on ...

Hi All, I bought this headlight set of fleabay awhile back. I haven't got around to fiddling with it to fit it yet as i have to chase up some aftermarket brackets etc. I have some mixed feedback from friends as to whether it would/wouldn't suit the lines of the Raptor. What do you all think?? http:/...
