I like it. How's that chain tension though? Looks snug.

good question.
and can't that hose that lies over the front sprocket be re-routed to the front of the bike under the fairings?
on my 98 i re-routed them forward to hide them.

Thanks Guys. Yes i have to reraute the hoses by the sprocket somehow i just got done with the bike. still a few touch ups
I was thinking about powdercoating the wheels but then it will be like everyone elses raven r1 with gold wheels or any other color. To me the carrazzeria polished really fit the bike at least i love how they look on mine.

Nice man, really clean looking. Maybe find someone with black forks for a swap, it would stealth it out more and go with your theme.

Yeah I heard that before. I think you guys are right i must go with black forks. However i love the gold forks one of the reasons i bought the Raven
Do you guys really think i need to dip my wheels. To me this looks awesome and opens the bike somehow.

Yes Im with on that one with chrome. But its not chrome it doesnt shine that much in real life just clean aluminum polish.
I also didnt want to go with the Gold wheels everyone has them. What about just black wheels?
I dont know but i still love how it looks now.

It's your bike and if you like it that's what counts
It's good to ask for opinions, they can give you ideas that you may not have thought of but, you read them take notes and move on.
Personally I like the wheels with your theme, balanced out by the exhaust and, as you say, not the same as a lot of others. The forks, however, still confuse the overall look to me and draw the eye, interfering with the appreciation of the total package. Maybe you could ask someone to photoshop them black so you can see what it will look like or wrap them in something black and stand back and look, after all it's a major component to change without being sure you'lll like it and that is what counts.
Isn't modding a biatch

Honestly I'm not about the chrome and the polish...but ya know, those wheels on your bike look really good, make it stand out. Having the rims black would tone the bike down so much that it'd just look like any other Raven.
I say nice bike!
