    Re: Regal Raptor DG-350E-6

    I bought my bike used, as I said in an earlier post. Other than it taking HOURS to do five minutes worth of work, it was no hassle to put it in my name. All they wanted was my Passport so they could...

    San Diego Leather aka www.leather.com

    I would advise that you not do any business with this company. They will quote you one price and charge you another. They will jack up their shipping charges by up to 300%.

    Re: Regal Raptor DG-350E-6

    The easy way to go would be use the Daytona triple trees and then buy shorter fork tubes from a local shop. Using the Daytona trees would get rid of 5 degrees of rake and then it would be a matter of...

    Re: Regal Raptor DG-350E-6

    I think the Spyder, Barhog, and Daytone share some of the same frame characteristics. However, the neck rack of the frame is not the same. The frame neck rake of the Spyder is 37 degrees, the raked...
