Hi everybody

After having lot of 4cil RR bikes I have bought my fist twin an old Raptor 1000.
The bike had car tuning in to the back so I had it cheap.
My idea is to make a nice Café racer of it and use it as an daily driver!
So this gone be great fun

Hi Vikingo. Good luck with the project. Sounds like a good base to start from. I'd love to change the tank on mine especially for a steel or ally one and then get a seat flat tracker style but I think that would be fairly tricky

Well I haven't picked up the bike yet and I have just seen it in photos I'm gone pick upp the bike this afternoon. .......
I have an small company that make composite bodyworks for racing car so the ide is to make some light weight parts for my bike like a redesign of the gastank.
