Raptor Chapter

Not an easy bike to get the wheels out of. I put a bar through the swining arm pivot & supported it on an axel stand each side, then jacked the front up carefully on the sump using some wood. Not ideal .

Great pics Dizzy, cheers.

Wow!. A pint of Adnams please to celebrate, nice one .

Try checking the battery. Mine played up on a trip home from Southend , did 70 odd miles & started to cut out . It would would sometimes start on the button but other times not , thought it was an earth problem. Eventually changed the battery which cured the poor running & starting issues .

I have replaced quite a few bolts with stainless ones. This site was very usefull.http://www.aruncas.com/index.html
