Request feedback- Mozza's Build

[mozza]

G'day guys, just showing some basic pics of my Bandit build process. I've missed lots of pics along the way but I'm not going back now !!

The pics dont show the process of changing all the switch gear over to 08 GSXR 1000, cutting down the muffler, cable mods for 08 throttle mech, wiring in the acewell dash, setting up the keyless ignition. Just basic overall shots of how it has changed.

this is her as from Saturday April 10

[drewboy]

Nice! the carbon fibre R6 tail looks trick!! what happened at the end? you getting stuff painted?? more pics will be required in the near future i suspect. well done!

[Large]

Excellent stuff. Everytime I see a nice bandit like this I want one

Lots of pics and few words make it easy to follow the build[:p]

[dingo]

Nice build :D

[Gitzy]

Great work Mozza..

[mozza]

yeah, getting all the silver bits done black and the wheels are getting a full polish, then back together. After that the exhasut will get sorted and then back to giving her a flogging !!!!!

[FIGHTERMC]

one nice bandit there mate.
is the cooler a hel one and if
so how did you find fitting the oil lines.
mine were a cunt to try and stop them hitting the exhaust.

[BANDITROD]

fucking awesome mate i love it

[mozza]

yeah it is a HEL one. The lines were really shit and extremly hard to fit and when I finally got them on the things pissed out oil everywhere, I was very lucky not to drop the bike. I had another set made locally and all good

[Cruisecontrol]

Whatcha gonna do with the zorst?

[mozza]

I've got a yoshi titanium tri oval that I'll cut down and mount under the chasis, I think it'll look o.k.
I'm just concerned with the exhaust gas spraying the back tyre ?

and finally got them right.
i think i'd go for earls the next time

[80s freak]

Horn, horn fucken horn!

[OzmaK8]

That looks great, love the R6 tail on it

[mozza]

thanks boys, I've told the painters to take their time and there's no rush..........but now I really want to get it back together. I'm keen as to see how it will look with a few more bits sorted.

Damn that's an awesome bike. Top work mate!

[mozza]

painters going well with a few small bits back today, also confirmed the tank colour which will hopefully be completed this week. Ended up with 1g speckle silver to 200g gloss black - it looks very similar to carbon fibre, which should go well with the rest of the bike

[HueyonaBlade]

Top quality , A1 stuff right there

[atwd1970]

hey mate nice scoot!
are you're rearset's from speedking??
look alot like mine!
if so ,did you get them assembled incorectly aswell??
http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1271805077.jpg

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1271855951.jpg

[mozza]

they look similar but I don't think there the same. The backing plate on mine seem to have more adjustment. By fitting the master cylinder on the outside was the only way it would line-up. I wasn't totally happy about it but it works !! Now that the master cylinder has been painted black it doesn't look too bad.

[mozza]

rechecked the pics and they are different. Your master cyclinder mounts vertically on a curved bracket where mine mounts on an angle on a striaght bracket

[motomadman]

thats farkin cool mate good work,

[mozza]

Just a small update with a few pics.
I have now cut down the Yoshi titanium tri oval, removed 150mm and have left the baffle in to help with back pressure.
Lower tripple, engine mount and rear brake master painted satin black.
Fitted a tail eliminator, made by a guy locally, these are a really nice unit and cost $80 - he's on ebay as - mustardbikes.

Also I need some feedback on the exhaust mounting position, I was going to fit it underneath the bike but was pretty pleased at how it looks cut down and am now thinking of fitting it somewhere in the position shown in this pic ??

Tail Elim looks great.. and the zorst position looks even better.. when wheels are on we will have a better indication i think.

[el sammo]

looks tuff!

[mozza]

Oh SNAP, Bryn you Bastard.. ;) I'll just have to settle with playing with the R1...... finally.. :D

[rod185651]

Looking good mate, after you polished the wheels did you coat them with clear or leave them polished? I agree with Gitzy build threads like yours makes me want to get in the shed and work on my bike. Cheers

[RevHead]

fark that looks good man

[BANDITROD]

fuck yeah mate and that top clamp is spot on and exactly what i need how much did ben and pete sting ya for that mate

[Gitzy]

Not sure how much Moz paid but here they are aswell Rod,

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1269639308.jpg


Comes with fat bar or regular risers
$990 each for 1-5
$790 each for 5-10
$590 each for 10+
As you can see there's a big discount for numbers.
So how many do you want ?

[mozza]

hey guys, the wheels are left polished. I had polished rims before and their pretty easy to look after as long as you keep on top of them, from what I hear clear tends to flake badly on polished wheels so I've never risked it. From memory the top tripple was about $850 and I had a mate paint it here locally in 2 Pak.
These sort of things generally are'nt cheap but then again, I gave Ben a verbal of what I wanted with ball park dimensions and the tripple came back spot on what I had imagined - got to be happy with that !!! And the price was fair to say the least for the quality of workmanship.
P.s. The price also included risers and relocating the steering stops and swapping the stems over

[mozza]

Thats the risers from my best mates GSX 1400, were looking forward to when mine is finished and we can get some pics of them both together.

I think Ben posted some pics of it along with the triple, 240 rear tyre, busa front, extended swinger.......I thought it was going to be a dog to ride but it gets along really well. Dont believe anyone who says big tyre bikes dont handle. I actually think its better than before !!

[BANDITROD]

cheers mate

[rod185651]

Cool you've inspired me to do my wheels now. Unsure if thats a good thing or not, nearly went mad polishing the frame.

[mozza]

If it helps I got mine done at GLM Polishers in S.Aust, they complete them for $180 per wheel. At that price it was an easy decision to let them do it and avoid all the hard work, plus they did an awesome job. My back wheel was fucked and I thought it was beyond recovery and after they did their work it cam up a treat.

[mozza]

Seats recovered, tank on and painted, headlights on

[Gitzy]

Oooh yeah thats looking tops Moz

[mr bones]

Nice Bandit. They do come up real well.

[dogboy]

G'day mozza sweet bandit dude , luv the R6 arse end-got me thinking about a future swap on mine too.Kudos my man you've got a well bad bandit there and the first photo was a trip down memory lane lol

[mozza]

starting to come together now, I'm a bit dissapointed with the pics as the bike looks really good in the flesh and the pics dont do it justice. Any feedback good or bad is welcome, next on the list is the underslung exhaust and new custom stainless headers.

[rod185651]

Looks very tidy and professionally finished mate. One question though,
Is the rear brake line too long?

[mozza]

yeah it is, I made the mistake in buying HEL lines instead of goodridge as in the past. I had that much trouble bleeding the rear brake I've convinced myself it doesn't look too bad ? What do you guys think ? Should I get a new line and do it again or does it pass ?

[rod185651]

I think a shorter one will suite a lot better, especially considering the attention to detail you have displayed on the rest of the bike.

[EXBEN]

Why don't you run the line up the torque arm & through the hole in the swingarm where the shock goes, or up behind the rearset, that would look neater & take up the extra length of line.

[mozza]

Torque arm is a good idea, thanks Ben

[TheBogyman]

only being picky here but i would ave went for black brake lines all round,,thats a really tidy bandt mate,,,what front did you use,,its that a gixer tho k6-k7?

[Gitzy]

Top work Moz, she looks awesome..

[mozza]

Thanks boy's, I went with the silver lines as it seems to work well with the headlights and wheels, sometimes too much black can be a killer !

The front end is from a 2008 GSXR 1000, I had Ben make a top tripple for me that was stepped down about 20mm.

[wackyrider]

That looks really neat. Only thing is those damn twin spots and as they mentioned, the rear brake line. But other than that. It looks great.

[Gix11]

Drag it outside and give it some light and make sure it's not parked near anything, then we'll get some good photos from you mate. Keen to see that.

[mozza]

Yeah I plan to do that when the exhaust is sorted, these shots were done just as a bit of an update.

[JackTar]

This looks very very tidy mate, love your attention to detail.

[mozza]

Thanks JackTar, I could have done a lot more with it but didnt want to get carried away with it and end up with a bike I was too afraid to use and ride hard. My mates say I'm a bit anal with my gear, but then again if you want good gear you have to be a little fussy !

I'll post a pic of my XT 1968 Falcon that I recently did up and sold, I think most will like it, maybe even the Holden boy's!!

[mozza]

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1277133537.jpg

[pappas]

FUCK YEAH!!! That's nice! I love it! I had an old XL ute that I wish I never sold!

[mozza]

packed up and ready for the custom Car and Bike show in Hobart next weekend, will be set-up next to my mates GSX1400 with the 240 arse end.

[BANDITROD]

thats a fucking sweet ride moz

[mozza]

Thanks mate, she looks a little aggressive with the front tied down so low but I'm really pleased with her. I hope she doesnt look out of place and amaturish compared to some of the others at show.

[BANDITROD]

i reckon it will do fine mate ...most shows these days are full of choppers its sometimes hard to explain to people what makes a streetfighter unique ....the general public seem to love choppers and shit thanks to OCC but with my experience with shows etc your machine will get alot of possitive feedback

[rod185651]

Nothing amateurish about your bandit mate, good luck with the show.

[mozza]

I've finally got the exhaust completed and am very very happy with the results. It came out just as I had hoped. Since going out for a quick spin today the headers have now got a nice deep golden shine very similar to the forks.

[nick76]

That looks awesome Mozza
Is the exhaust pointing straight at the tyre??

[mozza]

no pointing off to the rhs of the rim

[Fight_fan]

Jst awesome mate! Looks tops!

[BANDITROD]

fuck yeah mate well done looks great

[mozza]

not the best pic but you can see where the gas exits, we rotated the muffler and repositioned the badge


http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1283013441.jpg

[Gitzy]

Thats awesome work mate, top job..

[zx12argh]

Absolutely stunning mate. Love it!

[Elapid]

That looks really good Mozza. I love the colour.

Kris.

[xa-mont]

That bike is fucking amazing mate!

love every bit of it. 10 points for you!

awesome car as well BTW

[mozza]

bit of news, I sent in a pic to readers rides for Streetfighters Mag and they wrote back and offered me a feature bike write up. I've ordered a Phantom 2 headlight unit so once it's installed I'll take a few decent pics and send them over and wait and see.

Pretty happy though, I'll make sure I mention the forum and what a great resource it is and all the help it offers.

[Gitzy]

Shane You Lucky Bastard.. top work mate...

[mozza]

pics of the trial fit for my new headlight, would appreciate some feedback but I think this is where it will stay - now just to make a bracket !

[wackyrider]

H/light makes it look 100 times better IMO.

I think u got it spot on mate. Looks nice and mean now.

[Fight_fan]

I agree! Heaps better than the dominators mate! Looks well 'ard!

[Gitzy]

Million times better mate, deadset my favourite headlight unit..

[Big Dan]

I didnt think your bike could look better but it just did[8D]

[EXBEN]

Love the headlight it looks awesome. You nee some BXP reservoirs though...;)

[Gitzy]

^^^^ X eleventy

[rod185651]

You've nailed it mate, looks great!

[mozza]

Hey Ben I'd love some if your giving them away !! I'll also grab those wheels and swinger at the same time :)

You are correct though, especially the brake resovoir - what do they sell for ??
