Origin of Parts
Posted: |January 27th, 2018|, 9:09 am
Hi,
I’m a newbie to Cagiva and Raptors, but only to the brand and model, as I have 6 other bikes currently.
Over the past 10 years I have slowly migrated from restoration and light farkling to full on custom projects.
I’ve just bought a 2000 Cagiva V Raptor 1000 and I’m starting to get my head around it. Mechanically it’s sound, but its in need of some TLC. At the moment, I’m not sure what I’ll do to it, other than get everything operating up to scratch.
What I’m most interested in understanding is the manufacturer makeup of the components. That will help me as I try to source or retrofit parts. Right now, I’m assuming that it’s an amalgam of Cagiva, Suzuki and Ducati components, but that’s just a guess.
I’d appreciate if anyone can tell me the origin of the following components or sub-systems (and better still, what other bikes used this item). I’ve taken an educated guess on some of them, but I may be wrong.
• Frame – Cagiva
• Engine – Suzuki
• Forks –
• Wheels –
• Brakes –
• Rear Suspension – Cagiva
• Electrics –
• ECU –
• Controls –
• Tank – Cagiva
• Tank Electrics
• Panels – Cagiva
• Seat – Cagiva
• Lights – Cagiva
• Exhaust – Cagiva
• Coolers – Suzuki
Thanks in advance,
Crocodile
