Hi mate welcome to ASF and enjoy. Curious as to what your plans are for your Bandit other than accessories.

Still undecided , I've only had it a year & don't want to rush into anything major without some thought . I do miss the rush from 8-12 of my gsx/r though , so in the future I'll probably look at carbs & cams , or drop a second hand gsx/r engine in there when this one gives up . An adjustable rear shock would be handy too . The front shocks are ok for what I do , only a little too soft so I might play around with springs & spacers later on . I thought about binning the headlight assembly & screen , but I think I'd miss the screen out on the highway .

Yeah they do , that Predator one is definitely worth salivating over . Trouble is , I'm 6 foot tall & have an unreasonable back , which is why I now have a Bandit not a gsx/r . Anymore than a 150klms ride on a gsx/r & my arse is numb & I need someone to lift me off the bike c'os my legs won't bend . So if I go nude , I can't mess with the riding position much otherwise my back won't put up with it for long . It's a fine line between ugly & nice .

im 6 4" and its easier to ride a nude bike with a fucked back trust me i know all about that
if you chuck some fatbars on it you will never look back

6 foot and a bad back here.
I can do waaaaay more distance on a Naked bike with Renthals
than I ever managed on my tupperware Busa's. Being sat in a
decent position far out weighs hiding behind some crappy plastic.
Fairing was the 1st thing to come off my "Blandit".

[RevHead]

or drop a second hand gsx/r engine in there when this one gives up ,You made a joke ,i see what you did there ,Bandits are bullet proof .ask the big guy ,hey Rod

[BANDITROD]

fucking oath they are

[Shredhead]

My back is happy enough with the riding position as is , stripping the fairing off would be for aesthetic purposes only ( but maybe on the cards if I can find a headlight unit I like . Something like the 3rd one from the left if Mr Nitrous' sig would be good )& I don't know how much better a pair of Renthals could be .

What engine mods have you guys made , what hp are you making now & where is it on the needle ?
