Thanks to all of u for the welcomes I look forward to meeting a few of u out + about. Now I just have 2 get my arse back on a bike its been a full 7 days since I sold my last bike + I'm starting 2 get shitty because I haven't ridden in a week, does anyone have a shitter that's taking up to much room in their shed. I'm happy to do some work on it but it has to b close to rego and has to be 1000cc+. I would also look at a gsxr750. Obviously the cheaper the better but would look at anything interesting.

Well just bought a 2003 1200 bandit, 100% stock (not for long) 40000km $4k which I thought was ok, it pulls harder than a 14yr old school boy. So it is now time to start modding it, nothing to serious at this stage, just want new bars grips and mirrors and get rid of that faring! And bolt on a new headlight, single or dual not sure maybe dual, well have to see what happens, let the build begin!!
Don't forget your fluro rim tape and carbon hugger, should look killer mate
Hugger for sure but was thinking maybe polishing the rime does anyone know what its worth to do?
It will take a roll of masking tape, some paint stripper and about an hr of your day.
With the centre stand and a couple of blocks of wood you can take the front and rear wheels off and make the job a whole lot easier.
Ok cool thanks not sure if I have the balls to try that I think I'd rather pay someone to do it right the first time for me ...
Not really worth paying someone to polish the wheel outers. As Cruise said, just mask up the centres, then apply some paint remover carefully and let it stay for a min or 2. Then wipe off the bubbled off paint and start rubbing the wheels back with wet & dry, starting from 600 grit up to 2000 grit. Then get some polishing compond (Autosol or the like) and polish till you're happy
.
OK I'll give it a good a some point thanks
Had my last pair done by Springwood Suzuki,
Pretty sure they only sent them somewhere else though.
Done my own before but wasnt happy with getting a sharp
straight edge between polish and paint when I did them,
using factory finish, not reprinting centres.
Whoever did mine made a nice job, great finish too.
the outer rim on a bandit is allready polished under the paint so once you have stripped the paint it really only needs polish no need for sandpaper

Thanks Gix11 that thread was a big help
FFS don't forget to use Avon handcream after using Autosol. "Now hands that do dishes can feel soft as your face, with miid green Fairy Liquid". Sorry, lost my thread there.
GSX1400 Need I say more? Probably, yes.
And after you've done that you can sit down and have a nice cup of tea and a Rich Tea biscuit because remember " a drink's too wet without one".
Or better still, a hob nob - the Marines of the biscuit world.
GSX1400 Need I say more? Probably, yes.
you soft cocks, biscuits or for girls and poofs a real man has his tea stright.............
Wow, someone's obviously never had a hob nob. Tea? What with like a slice of lemon and shit? Anywho, didn't mean to hijack your thread Bigjase and turn it into a biscuit debate. Isn't there a game called freckles involving biscuits? Losing it. Enough talk of snacks.
