I asked him about it too. Bit rich for my blood. Did you see the GT750 he had ready to assemble?Quote:

Yeah bit of a strange one , some stuff that prob worth good dollars he wants F all for (there would be at least 2 waterbottles in bits in the shed and 8 frames out the back) yet he wanted top dollar for a t500 that needs a full rebuild
called at a mates while back in England in his bedroom he had dennis Irelands belgum gp winning rg 500 and 2 of his bimota tzs
So, this is where I'm at. Moving house so gonna leave the final fiddly bits until later. Even though I say so myself, she's a pretty girl and it's been worth the effort.

Does that work? I would have thought it would dulled them further?Quote:

Thanks for putting the before and after pics Simon. There were a few parts swapped out and she's not mint. Would like to do over once I collect more parts but it's easier to move house with all the bits bolted together in the right place.
Taken 13 months give or take a few days so not quite in the blink of an eye but seeing as I've been working on the Bandit for 7 years................
Looks more like a 9 year old tham a 40 year old and probably better than the Bandit. I can sit and stare at her for hours, I think I'm in love.
Pics are down, but from the last pic I can see of the tank and front together it's looking clean! Wish I had the time/money/room to do this, especially in 13 months! Well done mate.
Oops ! Pictures are back now ��Quote:
