The Bandit in 2000, before i got my oily mits over her :D
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...r%20itch/1.jpg
The start of the moddin'
TL1000r front end, Acerbis, solo seat converter and a bit of a polish up
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...20itch/6-1.jpg
Out came the engine for a freshen up inside:D
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...r%20itch/8.jpg
And thats were it all started [:o)] [:o)]
So i gets the bug to powdercoat the frame as the standard colour was a bit gay and the previous paint job was shite, so out came the angle grinder to relieve it of the subframe and then i spotted this swingarm that i thought would look nice [8D]

Ally subframe on and a top end rebuild
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...C03424_JPG.jpg
The bike's finished and at its first show with the S.E.S mob
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...C00734_JPG.jpg
2nd on the left is Spart and im next to him giving the salute :D
Another build came more engine mods, underslung can, binned the clocks and bug eyes and back to the Acerbis
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...DSC00983-1.jpg
Then in the winter the bug came again, engine out for 1216, big head, cams, clutch.new rear shoch and the subframe gets modded to hold the battery under the hump and then off to the powdercoaters with the swingarm
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...DSC01474-1.jpg
Then came the paint and twin spots for that Slabby vibe.. this as always been a love/hate thang. As most folks prefered my bike in all black with the Acerbis [:I]
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...1/DSC01485.jpg
Its amazing how a paint job radically changes the attitude of the bike [?]
One off headers and modded CBR6 can,a polish up and red calipers to match the shock and new paint.......TART
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...S8000100-1.jpg
Different exhaust mocked up [V] using a Devil baffled link pipe,one off comfy gel seat,custom loom, a set of thug yokes Acewell speedo/tacho and fat bars, and playing about with different routes for the breather pipes routes [:I]
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...11/bike004.jpg
Binned the spots and modded an Acerbis to accomodate the speedo, finalized the catch tank and went back to the CBR can....
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...11/bike017.jpg
This years mods... another top yoke and some TL clip ons mocked up, and back to frame mounted spots for that cafe lookhttp://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...1/yokes005.jpg

..you lot have hit every branch on the way down
[:p]:D
And that's the version of the bandit I like[^]
The tanks off to the painters , im going all black again[8D]. Im waiting on some Vortex clip ons, Brembo radial master cylinders and some mini elipsoid spots that are gonna be mounted vertically on the headstock mounts like my mate Caveys.New SV 1000 r/h switch gear and a Q/A throttle on order. All the lines and cables need to be around 100mm shorter now FFS but i will know for sure when its all mocked up with the real parts:(
I'll get the camera out as and when they all get fitted
Very tidy work mate,that thing has gota be fun to ride.I love the Crank breather set ups.
Mate I love all incarnations that thing has been through, nice work
very nice mate christ uve bin busy ....mind u u only get to ride it 2 weeks a year back home :}
amazing!!! i love the last exhaust system and the whole bike. Its perfect! super minimal, my style
Great work

GOD BLESS CRASH HELMETS AND BLACK VISORS !!!! :DQuote:

The progress is at a standstill at the mo, due to the fecking easter holidays and no feckin postal service :( Bunch o cunts, ive gotta work so why cant they :D. Im on solid late shifts for the next 3 weeks so at least i'll be indoors for the posty to arrive and can squeeze a few hours work on the bike daily before work ;) Today i striped all the anodising off the Noz kit fittings and im gonna get Sparts polishing mops on it tommorow, black snot here we come ;)
love it,, just love it!!!
Mock up plate for the Facet fuel pump and and nitrous solonoids, they fit snug above the rear shock , on show but stealthy at the same time [8D]

Rear shot....ignore the chunky fuel line its just for the mock up:D
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...h/yokes004.jpg
FUCKIN' FRIDAY 13th or what :(
My elipsoid headlights turn up from Germany after waiting 12 feckin days and guess what.....one in black...one in chrome...DUMB CUNTS :(Also i found out that i cant get any high pressure leads for the Noz kit for another 2 weeks :( And to top it all off my clip-ons and billet fuel cap aint even getting made until next feckin week :(My patience is running extremly thin as you can tell.. The only saving grace is that i do have my Brembo master cylinders to play with ;)
That is just silly! Looks like not all germans are that 'grundlich'! I've been waiting for 3 months to get my wheels. Now I have m and they haven't been properly anodized! Maybe 'ze germans' had a little too much beer und bratwurst!
had me worried for a second. looked like your subframe mounted to the nos solenoids:) looks good!!!
Im a happy bunny today :Di got these jublys to fit
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...h/nicepair.jpg
but one emblems red and the other silver. cant you send them back?
And a bit of plumbing for the rear cam feeds
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61...h/plumbing.jpg
Got her all stripped down ready for all the new plumbing ;) Ive fitted the nitrous fogger adaptor plates to the carb rubbers, made a the bracket to mount the fuel pump and solonoids above the shock mount, im just waiting on the high pressure lines and thats finished. The rear cam lines are off, im gonna try something abit different with the routing of the cam feeds and bring both lines out to the nearside of the bike and up around the carbs,but i dont know if i can get the run i want or how tight this is gonna be until i get the tank back from the painters[?]All the front lines are off as they are all 3" to long, i should have new lines early next week. New switch gears fitted and a Q/A throtlle, ive gotta get some cables made up next week as these go up and over MX styley;)

I did notice that too:D, but these are the best looking pair ive seen since Pamela Anderson in that swimsuit[8D]
nothing a fine point sharpe wont take care off
That can was made for your build M8 , Fark'n Gorgeous..........Im sick and tired aswell waiting for parts.
i just noticed something interesting on your bike, the rear brake arm. How does it act under hard braking? Typically you want that pointing at your CG, its obvious why its not but it would seem to make the rear end squat heavy under hard rear braking, not locking it up ofcourse. just curious
I just noticed chocolate subframe bike is in the background as well. What's he doing? It looks less brown?
Gix, the chocolate subframed water boilers been in my garage for about a month now as Terry has bought my Blade off me. If my build takes any more turns for the worse it looks like i'll be going over to the TT on his old boot :(I will have to get a sticker made up...."THIS IS NOT MY BIKE"
Shifty, the torque arm works well, but i hardly use the back brake anyway. My m8 Spart has got the same arm and had trouble with the torque arm ripping the threads out on the upper fixing. He did the TT 2 years ago without a back brake atall and his front brakes leave much to be desired[:0]
Ive juust found out why the emblems are in different colours...the white brake is a CAST unit and the red clutch is BILLET and £40 dearer;)Quote:
