back on the road with a bandit 1200

Looking good Ad, think the watercooled Gixer tank would look cool :wink:

yeah still on it… that bike will die with me, in no position to even be thinking of a new one, its still more than enough for me.

Be good when its finished… you might even get it finished before Terrys

(i havent read the whole thread so forgive me if some one else has already said that)

got some before and after pics from some work done this evening!! sacked the idea of the ducati seat unit and gone for this R1 seat,

modded the rear subframe so i now have a rear plate to mount a light and number plate and so the seat sits nicely when you look from the sides!! not too happy with the gap at the rear below the seat but i’ll think of something!!

got a new front end arriving next week, cos i had drama’s with the bottom yoke on the last idea! i’ll put pics of it up when it gets here!!

still have no idea what so ever of a colour scheme??? keep thinking about them levers and housing that you got hold of terry!!! very very nice!! but prob cant afford em and dont wanna copy!!

still wanna shape the rear plate before it gets coated and just waiting on a spindle being made for me rear swinger!!:slight_smile:

still wanna shape the rear plate befroe it goes to the coaters and still waiting on a spindle being made up for my rear swinger!:smiley:

That will look mad as f*ck with the back wheel hanging outa that :cool:

Run a search on the Angelis Brothers of Cyprus (think thats how its spelt), they build tasty bikes with bare bones seat units, might get some idea’s from them mate :wink:

cheers tel! i’ll have a look this arvo when this monster hangover thats on the way wears :hehe:off!!!

looking sweet mate :cool: my bandit build is almost done now but still chopping and changing bits so give us a shout if you need bits or have any bits going :wink:

well managed to give the engine a clean today, only one case that needs tidying up, the rest are in a nice condition! cant wait to get on with it after christmas, but ive got a month off:D so it’ll have to wait till i’m back:D

finally got it out of the iso container, !!! chucked the rear swinger on with a standard shock but with 55mm jack up kit on.:slight_smile:

Taking shape Mate :cool: The front muddie looks like it needs fitting closer to the tyre (flappin in the wind a bit):wink: :slight_smile:

That mudgaurd won’t be staying like that tel!! I’ll get happy with the grinder!! Just winding me up that I can’t get it on my bench at the min! Got loads on at work, just got back from africa and off to newquay in a week or so!! But it’ll get there!
