Hey all! Nice place you have here... Just thought I'd introduce myself, and show my Bandits. Nothing too crazy...always doing something to the 1200.. I have an 05 1200, and a 92 400. Just recently bought the 400 for the girlfriend, it needed some love, so it's getting it now. As for my 1200, I have been looking for this tail for a while, someone said they saw pics here.

Nice Bandit mate. The tail you are looking for looks like a german jobby. Check some of the german fighter stores/forums. And welcome aboard.

That looks like a Bimbos unit to me: http://bimbo.stroehmer.de/shop-artikel.php?kategorie=15

or maybe a Streetmachines job: http://www.street-machines.net/index2.htm (Click "teile - shop" at the bottom then "Hocker" from the menu)


If you have a lot of time you'll definitely find the supplier within this list:http://www.streetfighters.com.au/ASF_links-ger.asp

When you get that Tail, your bike is going to be so sexy, any photos you publish will be considered pornography.

Thanks guys! Made a new tag bracket today. Used a washer, and a hunk of 11ga I had. Dont have any big tools... used a grinder, drill, and a hammer.
