[scooby2153]

what forward controls you have and are they flush with bike frame?

[johnnydinla]

@scooby2153 - "Hydra-Mount" Forward Control Extenders from Raw Designs

[GUSGU5]

Hey Johnny, how did you mount the license place bracket? Love the way it looks

[johnnydinla]

@GUSGU5 I used a combination of pieces from Kuryakyn. Email me and I'll see if I can dig up the part numbers from what I used.

[WinterXL]

Hey Burton kid harleys may be assemble here in USA but alot of there parts are just as jap as this raider and this is a very sweet looking bike harleys ride like they sound slow and sloppy

[M1GHTiETURK]

S.I.C.K.

[mdf1951]

where did you get your chrome rear spocket? Or just have the one that came with the bike chromed?

[johnnydinla]

@mdf1951 I had the stock part dipped. Classic Components - Santa Ana, CA.

[TurbinePower69]

@johnnydinla VERY, VERY nice looking ride you have there...Well done ! That  shade of Blue Really

accents the chrome Beautifully. What year is Your Raider ?? Are those Vance & Hines pipes ?

[johnnydinla]

@TurbinePower69 2008 Raider S, with Stock Tommy Blue paint. That paint color was retired after 2008. Makes it kind of special to me. Pipes are Cobra Dragsters.

[burtonkidd]

COPY & PASTE IF YOU THINK THE SAME SHIT !

This shit sickens me.

Jap imitations looking more like harleys every fucking year.

One thing those fucking nippers will never get is the sound of a harley.

nuff said.

[johnnydinla]

@burtonkidd It's a motorcycle dude. What do you expect it to look like? You might need some HD therapy. BTW, if Harley had the performance this bike has, I would have bought one... just saying.

[dannutzgry]

@johnnydinla I totally agree.Good point.

Cheers Johnny!

[c0d3x5]

@burtonkidd

and what do harleys sound like?? because everytime i see one.. they are on the side of the road being pushed... ? just saying... just saying...

[MrJeff281]

@burtonkidd Harleys suck

[GUSGU5]

@burtonkidd The Jap ones will never get the shit performance of the Harleys either...lol. Smoke your little ass Harley in a heartbeat (numbers are everyone online as proof), assuming you even have a bike.

[revolverAU]

@burtonkidd most harleys are made here but their parts r made in asia japan wont have anything to do with them cause they know they SUCK! AND 4 THE RECORD A MAJOR MAGAZINE 4 HARLEY HAS BEEN KNOWN 4 BUYING PARTS MADE HERE SENDING THEM 2 ASIAN AND HAVING THEM RE MADE THEN HAVING IT SHIPPED BACK AND CHARGE JUST UNDER WHAT THE PERSON WAS ASKING SO REALLY SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[sweatherwax]

Is that an OEM backrest from Yamaha?

[johnnydinla]

@sweatherwax  yes

[johnnydinla]

@sweatherwax - Yes Yamaha Backrest. Weighs a ton, but sturdy as hell. Keeps my girl happy.

[5vanguard]

Sweet ride ! Did you have the swingarm chromed or were you able to find chrome covers ?

[5vanguard]

Where did you get the chrome swingarm covers ??? Looking everywhere to find those and striking out

[johnnydinla]

@5vanguard Those aren't covers. I had the swing arm chromed.

[escott459]

Great looking bike

[robbypjr]

you need to pan-out a little more....allowing full Image of bike at once..."Beautiful Bike"...first time I ever saw a "Raider"...Really Nice Bike..!

[two199]

cool



[ronaldsmusicfactory]

that front fender looks good but it doesnt match the back fenders shape @ all

[quinnjim]

Your bike sounds great. Many other Raider's have a "whine" when they idle (even with pipes). Yours doesn't. Did you do something to quiet down the whiny engine (synthetic oil)? I wanted to get a Raider, but I didn't like the sound. If I could make one sound like this....I'm buying!!!

[johnnydinla]

@quinnjim They all whine a little bit. Yes I run synthetic in there, but the pipes roar. I don't even hear the whine! Trust me, this bike rocks.

[ck810]

Stunning.

Is the front fender from Ken @ Oops & who did your chrome?

[johnnydinla]

@ck810 Yes. Kent is AWESOME! Classic Components, Santa Ana, CA for the chrome.

[yamaraiderhog]

Where did you get your wheels chromed? Great looking bike.

[johnnydinla]

@yamaraiderhog Classic Components in Santa Ana, CA.

[PurpleVTwin]

where did you get the wheels done?

[PurpleVTwin]

nice job!!

[USABLACKWATER]

nice bike I love it

[adamsg1985]

You did a bang up job man, the bike looks awesome!

[jymmyjaymes]

I made brackets for my mini fork signals out of stainless steel strips,

[LV4NYG]

what clamps, and front turn signals did you use? I'm having the worst time trying to find a setup that would work on the raider. thanx

[johnnydinla]

@LV4NYG Those are Kuryakyn clamps and turn signals. The clamps are not an exact fit, I used a spacer to fit between the clamp and fork tubes. I will look up the part numbers and send you a message.

[mafih1]

All that chrome is so sweet. Great Work!

[faahQu]

I'm blind!!!

[johnnydinla]

Exactly what I want the 'cagers' to say!

[yamaraiderhog]

great bike!! where did you get your shifter linkage

[johnnydinla]

Look up Morton's Customs. They a bunch of different styles.

[BOOGLEE]

Man, I'm diggin your raider. Bought my first bike ever last year...2009 Raider and I love it. Man, I'm definitely looking for some ideas.

[Saltydog0732]

Great work. You have aht thing tricked out! I put the Dragsters on the RedRaider last summer. I love the sound and feel of the power.

[spidez8407]

Damn thats wicked. Probly cause a divore for me

[johnnydinla]

I got lucky, my girl is all about accessorizing!

[DesolationAngels]

Just Wow!!!!

She's a beauty!

[johnnydinla]

Thanks! Just a few more things to do!

[bm2chovan]

Nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dannutzgry]

I bet you had. The Raider is the best cruiser on the market. I'm waiting for the 2010 stock to get one.

[dannutzgry]

Best looking Raider so far!

[johnnydinla]

Thanks! I've had a lot of fun modding and riding this bike.

[bigdaddy0689]
