21" raider rim & winter projects 4 Months, 1 Week ago  
Just finished the k&n filter mod, dragger seat, v&h longshots

next up -
drag bars
cutting the rear fender
re-jet

Picked up a stock raider front rim (21". looking for a tire n a rotor now - anyone know any other rotors that would fit the raider 5 hole pattern and the stock roadstar calipers for cheaper? and any hints on a 120/70/21 tire for reasonable that tracks well.. I'v had square-ish tires on the front before and it wasn't a good thing.

These should work but double check. I used the YZF rotors on mine and they work perfect. I am running a Dunlop Elite 3 and it seems to be good.

Ok so I'm done for this winter, I think next year will be progressive springs front and rear and lower in the rear, not sure what else I would do, really liking the new look

Re:21" raider rim & winter projects 3 Months, 1 Week ago  
Not trying to hijack this thread or anything, but I came across a deal where I can get the front, rear, pulley and discs from a raider for a good price...I have a few questions, will the discs work? Will the pulley? Is this a MAJOR modification for the back wheel (I believe it's a 210mm)? Thanks in advance, guys!
