[Raider_09]

Well after lots of reading and researching, video clips and picture requests, weighing out pro's and con's and well lots of debating between parts/mods and direction of my build. It finally happened... I made my choices and made my purchases. I called on Morton's Customs for my exhaust w/power cones, lowering kit, integrated tail light, & button led's for my license plate. Then to Raw Design's for their Stealth Front Blinker kit. Then to PCS for the PR BAK. Then to Dennis Kirk for some Drag Specialties Mirrors, and finally to Ebay for the best price I could find on the Power Commander V, side mount license plate bracket and H.I.D. Head Light kit. Here's some pics of the tear down, rebuild and almost final product. Still waiting on a few things to come together and Phase I will be complete. Let me know what ya's think...

How's that side mount, vertical license plate gonna work out in NJ?

Not sure if that's a "ticket magnet" or not.

Looking good! :cheers:

Except for the shorty pipes. I'm just not sold on shorties for the Raider. But hey! It's your bike, put the pipes on it YOU want. It's all good. Sure would like to hear them though.

Still haven't talked myself into taking off the chrome tank strips. I love the look on your bike and the other Ravens that have done it but too many days I get out to my bike, also a Raven, and think they just look damned good on there. Just face it. Ravens are the best looking bikes on the street no matter what you do or don't do to them. hyea:
