AdministratorWe still have a few short 18″ and long 29″ sissybars for the raider/warrior/vendetta/vindicator. They mount with blocks that are trough-bolted through the fender. The sissybar with mounting blocks are $495.
I also have logo axle covers in either VXC or v-flags. They are $50 a set. In addition we still have some V head-bolt caps, V-flag and VXC Derby, Inspection and points covers. IM me if you need any of these.

AdministratorThe 2into1 exhausts were manufacturered by “Area P” they are a specialty fab shop in So Cal. They are not actually in exhaust mfg business, their specialty was baffles. THey made the 80db baffle that made those pipes legal.
If you still have your shield replate/refurbish it. If you need someone to make a shield contact Steve at Torres Cycle. Theyve fabbed our exhaust systems for the past two years.

I did several 4-500 mile rides on my 03 Raider and had no problems with riding it long distances.Very comfortable ride,and you can actually get really good fuel mileage if you dont ride wide open all the time.I got in the high 40s and 50 mpg regularly.Way better than my 07 Ultra!Took the 03 on every high altitude mountain in North Carolina,switch back turns and all with no problems.These bikes are very rideable in capable hands.

Administrator(2) Fuel – The banshee tank is 3.8 gal. Quite a bit of the back of the tank is useless because of the angle, figure you have 3 gallons. An average of 30 mpg will give you 90 miles. As they say, mileage will vary. Your best bet is to test it yourself… heres how.
(1) Go to the gas station and fill up.
(2) press the button on the back of your speedo and you will see a weird looking “trip” then some numbers will flash. Hold the button down until it goes to 00.
(3) Ride! (about 90-110 miles) until your bike starts to sputter.
(4) Put your petcock on reserve and
(a) hope you are about 5 miles from a gas station
(b) hope you are within range of a cell phone tower and you have AAA RV/Motorcycle coverage which is the best $20 a year you will spend if you own an RV :).
(c) hope your wife knows how to drive a truck pulling a trailer.
(5) Check your trip meter again and see where you are.Thats your gas guage. Commit the distance to memory. Check your trip meter when riding. And dont forget mileage will vary. Revving to catch the attention of girls on the corner, revving to make car alarms go off as you ride by, burnouts etc. will insure your gas gauge is not accurate below a quarter of a tank.

AdministratorThanks for the kind words. Let me take these one at a time.
> What I have now is the bracket that held the licenses plate.
(1) You have one of a handful of bikes which were made to be shipped to Canada and were sold in Phoenix. There were a group of bikes which were never paid for, taken to Phoenix, re-titled and sold in the US. (Wanna know more about that debacle?
http://www.vengeanceperformanceproducts.com/vengeanceholdings.html )In Canada the lic plate needs to be center mounted, so we made a sissybar to hold the licence plate.
Side Note: Ive always been curious. These bikes were fitted with KPH speedos, was yours changed to MPH? Technically as a dealer if they didnt disclose changing the speedo, they committed fraud. Hum…
Back to the Sissy Bar…
I do still have some Banshee/05 Vendetta/Teacher sissy bar mounting blocks. They bolt to the swing arm and can be used as the base for a custom bar-stock sissy bar.The trick with the swing arm mounted fenders is that they can be slightly twisted. So the drama comes in when you make a standard sissybar. In an ideal world you will have the bike. You measure and make a sissy bar to fit the natural location of the fender. Drill holes in the sides of the fender (with a piece of steel between the fender and tire so you dont… well you know.) and mount the sissybar.
However, in the real world we used to make a “standard” sissybar for a non-twisted fender. Sometimes they bolt up and sometimes it may require removing the rear wheel, removing the rear fender, mount the sissy bar, locate the rear fender in the sissybar then re-install the rear fender (possibly modifying/hogging-out the mounting holes) to make it all fit. Then re-installing the rear wheel.
So if you want me to make you a sissy bar I will. If you want to make your own locally, Ill sell you the mounting blocks.

AdministratorSynth is no problem. With a motor they recommend 500mi break-in before converting to synth with a transmission, you can run syth straight out of the box.

AdministratorI have a 2003 warrior with a small leak in the tank. The Paint is flaking a little at the bottom of the tear drop. Do you have any recomendations.

AdministratorI tried to load a picture yesterday, but the file was too big. I will try to get some tech help. How do you handle payment for the seat?

@venmc
AdministratorThere are still branded parts available. Unfortunately, there is currently little to no apparel except for hooded sweatshirts. My hope is be able to begin producing branded apparel again in the future.
Stephen,
Anything I can do to help, please let me know. I can design shirts, art and of course paint. I love these bikes and hope to see a lot more of them in the future.loop-single-reply.php

AdministratorThe tank is going to be an issue as the company that made them (metal monsters) is no longer in business. However, there is a possibility I could get one made for you as I believe the stampings are still available.
But given the fact that they are $1200 + 500 paint. You may want to have yours restored. Basically they peal open the tank from the bottom, then they sand blast the whole thing, re-weld and repaint.
Another less expensive option would be to have the tank treated to remove the rust and then sealed from the inside, its not a perfect solution but would work to isolate fuel from the tank surface.
Rear fenders were made by Russ Wernamont may still be available.

AdministratorWelcome to the forum. Please post a picture of your bike so others can see the custom seat. Maybe someone would want to buy it. I still have some sissy bar mounts (they bolt onto the swingarm) and can also give you pictures of a sissybar design so you can have one made locally.
