I've got a couple of pic's on my website(Not really a website, just a directory of pics). Check out the pic labled "Controls". Only problem is my controls aren't stock.

er, sorry, that didnt help much. I was talking about a full view of the handle bars, could somebody take a picture of them with their hands on the bars, and theyre sitting on it? I think that would give somebody the feel and look of riding the raptor.

Don't really know what you mean by feel weird on it? It feels different than sitting on a banshee, but it is nothing that 10 minutes in the saddle won't fix. People say that the Raptor feels tippie, I have yet to get tipped over. I'm 6ft 200 lbs, so I just add to the top end weight. Thrown off the back and over the bars but never the side. I think that there is more of a dirt bike feel to the Raptor, because of the narrower seat (compared to the banshee) I went from a CR250 to my Raptor, just love it.

Radman: The Raptor is definitely tippy. Ride a Raptor that has aftermarket shocks/axle etc. and you will not believe the difference. When I first got mine I thought it was great, then I rode my buddies 400ex and it was totally different. The Raptor is awesome lowered and widened.
