I know this already, Carnivore did that as soon as he bought the last one, but AFAK there is only ONE screen that goes on a VRaptor, which is sold at Emoto, but if anyone else knows a supplier step forward.

I don't fancy looking like a bulldog, particularly as I like to ride 'spirited on certain roads' that are 70mph

It so you can grab hold in case it shakes its head!

Don't fancy drilling holes in the horns for the screen, better give a drill to someone with a better aim.

I need to source a grab rail, as over the years its gone missing. There should be one, or a seat cowl. It has neither.

Pete you maybe right....or a nice shopping basket

And its a TL engine
