hmm, not sure man, chrome would look hot, might need to find someone who can do some custom chrome dipping.... might be cheaper in the end to send orig parts out and get it done instead of buying new parts. search google or something like that and ask them for prices

I don't know fellas, I think that Raven bike would look really done up in a bunch of carbon fiber.......it would be lighter than chrome and the way that bike is all blacked out, it would look sick.

Could you imagine a single-sided carbon fiber swingarm, carbon rims, fenders, etc. Sick.

Although chrome would look pretty cool as well.

Yeah.... I was looking at carbo fiber to, I know it would be lighter though and looker sicker then sick if you wish. Anyway and good places to look for carbon fiber that you guys know. I have seen a few.

yeah..i have a 2005 in the Raven color, and i mean i would love to see one chromed out but it kinda defeats the purpose of the whole "Raven" idea...but anyway...i just got mine and i want to do some stuff to it...what do you guys think i should do first?

First things first, get at least a fender eliminator....no if ands questiuons about it. I got mine from EuroBikes (www.eurobikes.com) and it came with sweet led turn signals and all the wiring obviously and etc. Pretty easy to install took about 30 min since it was the first time i took anyhitng apart on the bike. To go from there, should get flushmount signals for the front of the bike, Depending how deep your pockets are depends what you get. I got Greggs LED's that are just press in perfectly to fit the R6 but set me back about 100 bucks. Get them at Greggs Customs (www.greggscustoms.com/main) But to go from there you can do anyhting lean more towars an exhaust (either slip on or full) and a power commander to balence the fuel mixture. You can look though the forums we have a post up here with 30 different exhausts and sounds, how to modify the fuel mixture without a power commander, and what people like / use. If you really wanna go all out, can get new bigger fuel injectors, and bigger fuel pump, and then start modifying internals to the engine if you are gonna start to race or something like that

The headlight fix / angel eyes are really sweet from what i read and seen, and he warrentys everything so there is no problem about that. go to High Bimmin (www.highbimmin.com) the guy who owns it is Cory and he will hook you up with whatever you want, I am gonna get the headlight fix but no angel eyes....might think about HID but thats a lot for nothing really
