03 1200 bandit strip down question???

[Bigjase]

Hi all just bought new bars, grips and leavers for my bandit now the next step is to remove the front fairing (the stock one) and install a single head light and new indicators etc etc, my question is, is removing the fairing and relocating the gauges onto the yoke hard/painful??? Any help would be great

I'm just guessing here, but you might be able to get a stock gauge mount from the naked version and bolt it all on.

after market gauge will look even better

I think after market gauge would be a bit expensive, (but really unsure does anybody now what ones worth???). I didn't even think about a factory naked ones bits...

If you use the stock guages then you will need the cover for the back off the naked variant.
I did this a while ago with no problems at all.
Just fab up a bracket that bolts on to the underside of the top clamp.
Pics to follow...

It worked well whilst I kept the stock guages. I bought an Acewell not long after and was much happier.
