I need a set of Raptor nerf bars, preferably Graydon. This wasn't next on my list of mods, but I found out the hard way what happens when your foot comes off the peg when landing a big jump.

Does the Raptor always head "Nose up" off of a jump, or did I just pick the wrong jump to do?

No the raptor doesn't always nose up on jumps, you just have to learn the best position to launch in, it will be different from the DS.

Don't know why you prefer the Graydon's, but consider the AC Pro Peg. They are very nice, both in looks and fit. Steve

Ditto on the ProPegs. Wider platform with better grip. Having carbon fiber "gripper" frame guards also helps. Squeeze your heels into the guards while in the air to have better control. Although in your "nose high" situation, pull the clutch and tap the rear brake to kick the nose down.
