Gremlin Bell

I added my Gremlin bell that my Dad bought me. it hangs on the front of the lower frame where it can be seen!!!

Upper Belt Guard Painted

I painted the Upper belt guard a textured flat black. This gave it a powder coated look and makes the left side of the bike match better. The belt guard used to be silver as can be seen in the stock picture at the header of the blog or my first post.

Raider Fender Decal

I replaced the Yamaha decal that was on the rear fender with this RAIDER decal. it looks a lot better than the Yamaha sticker and really stands out on the fender. purchased this from sawtooth industries (see link)
I also removed the Star logos that were on the fake air boxes.

Impaler Black Flame Grips

These are black anodized Impaler Flame grips by HAMMER Custom Cycles (see link) the grips look and feel awesome. they go really well with the sharp features of the bike.

Exhaust Mod

I did not like the sound of the muffled stock pipes... so I drilled out part of the baffle plate and cut the inner pipe back to allow more air flow. After cutting I smoothed out the edges and painted it a high temp flat black.

This made the bike sound much more aggressive. It gives a nice low rumble. It will work for now until I get new pipes sometime next year.

My 2008 Yamaha Raider

This is my 2008 Raider. the bike is stock in this picture other than the Hammer Impaler grips i added.
