Re: huggers and tail tidies…recommendations?

Hi all,

Does anyone happen to have pics of a hugger fitted to a Raptor? I'm considering buying some goodies including a hugger from Scarlatti Moto while they are on sale at the moment. Just cant decide whether to go chain guard or hugger.

Cheers

Re: Foot Pegs?

A few people here have Oberon pegs fitted, viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2531&p=16682&hilit=oberon#p16682. I've got titanium ones fitted, can take some photos if you need. The only thing I've found with them, is that with some boots they can be a bit slippery when it's wet. I've had look at thes...

Foot Pegs?

Anyone had any luck fitting pegs from something else on their rap?
I've worn the rubber off mine & am not even game to find out how much geniune ones are, besides i think i'd like something a little more grippy to bite into the soles of my track boots.

Re: tlr motor??

Hey Spanky, It can be done. The TLR engine is identical except for: Bigger thottle bodies, twin injectors per cylinder, cams & hydraulic clutch. As for the Qld rego i don't know, you would have to check with your state registry. As far as i know the NSW RTA wouldn't have a problem with it as it ...

Re: A new rattle!!!!

Hi Magnum, If you can see the fork rattling, my first check would be the steering head nut. If's not loose, then you might have look further & check the head bearings. But in saying that... If it was steering head related you would feel the rattle through the handlebars also. If you can only hea...

Re: Headlights - any bright ideas?

They aren't legal here either, but if questioned i intend to plead ignoranace. "Sorry officer i didn't realise, it was on the bike when i bought it & thought it was standard". It may cost me a $86 fine, but it's a cheaper than fixing the rap after a fist fight with Skippy. :wink:
