back on the road with a bandit 1200

bit of damage on the forks between the yokes due to the sleeves being a pain on the aris, weight of the engine makes the back end sit a bit lower!! but when ive got the readies i’ll get hold of a decent rear shock!!:smiley:

F~ck me your list is longer than mine and I’ve still got a bare frame :PLooks as mad as f~ck Adam, cant wait to see you smokin about on it :cool:By the way, stick a cable tie on the lower brace on the swinger…there’s a fine line between an ajusted chain and slightly slack, the chain will cut through the cable tie when it needs adjustment and wont damage your swinger :wink:

rear shocks done,

frame bolts done,

exhaust done,:D:D:D just need to make a bracket/hanger, and a new heat sheild!:slight_smile:

oh, and it needs a polish!!:smiley:

looks interesting adam!!!

where did you get that bit of metal the headlamp is fitted to? a tank??? :slight_smile:

a tank?? yes dan thats exactly where its from!!:doze: maybe i shoulda just fitted twin chrome headlights ;):smiley:

looking good mate

nice one adam…

not shure bout that front brake line though… :smiley:

Looking good, got to admit that the exhaust being on the opposite (wrong) side is twisting my melons man :smiley:

am picking it up from moorespeed racing later today, but due to the exhaust its reducing the power by a fair bit!!! have got a few other small niggles to sort out but nothing major but she is running pretty sweet now!!! just have to get the tank sent off for airbrush now!! ( and maybe sort out a different set of pipes!)

squeeeeezed into my leathers yesterday to see how she handles!!! :smiley:
