I have only got about 7 hours on my 02 Raptor and I have already lost one of the rubber straps that hold on the centerpiece where the key and engine lights are. Is there anything out there that has improved on this attachment?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I took mine off to put new bars on.. well it would have fit but I think it looked silly with the new renthals..


I moved my keyswitch down to where a warriors would be on the side above where the reverse switch is. I took the warning lights and and put at the top right of the front hood.

My buddy lost one of his also, I gave him mine. He was rejetting his carb and found his original down under the tank on top of the rubber gasket material. I bet the dealer has em, pick up a few extra.

Yes get a Trail Tech Handlebar clamp/light bracket. It has two lights and replaces the plastic peice that holds the key and the instrument lights. Look at Rocky Mountain for them. I think I paid $109 for mine, you'll love them at night.

The Raptor center piece sucks!

You can also buy the Trail Tech Raptor handlebar clamp at Rocky Mountain for $39. It does not have the lights but it holds the key switch, instrument lights and looks awesome. Oh yeah, it wont fall off either!

I took off the stock instrment panel as soon as I got home with my new Raptor. I didn't like the way it looked or how it was mounted.
I picked up a UMI clamp with holes for the warning lights & key for $35 (part of my $300 in free accessories) At the dealer. It looked & worked better.

I now have the Trail Tech mount that also has the holes for key & warning lights with a 50 watt flood light, a 75 watt spot light & an Endurance computer.

It's off subject but if you even think about riding at night, get the Trail Tech lights. You'll be glad you did!! These suckers will light up the world!! I feel so much better riding the dunes at night with these lights!

I did the same thing MOOSE did and got the UMI Clamp from my dealer. And you dont have to watch the stock plastic panel bounce all over he&&.

Thanks guys, I just ordered the Trail Tech Clamp from Rockymountainatv.com I don't do much night riding so I'll save the $70 difference for something I might not be able to live without.
