Its ages since i did a B6/12 conversion, and cant remember if i used the B6 CDI as it came with the loom or the 1200 didn't physically fit, I just fitted the lot and it all plugged together.. Best buy a 600 loom with CDI attached, or just get the 600 loom and try the 1200 cdi, if the plugs fit it will work
-
You can use a B600 loom and cdi, it all plugs together, the only difference is the red line, it’s higher on the 600….

So spent today getting Brian running, started off on 3 so
cleaned carbs and nicked plugs from teapot.. Better
fitted my universal number plate and put my hat on pulled away and it stopped dead no electricity, arse!!!!!
fuse blown , spent the next 2 hours not finding the short or wheee the electricity is leaking out of the wire !!!!
as the track day is Wednesday I gave up and dragged the bandit out, found the battery in the airing cupboard!
and fired it, as usual It works just fine, so bandit it is then

So due to unforseen circumstances, of the 3 bikes I have to use on track days, only Brian has a chance of being ready for next week at castle Coombe..
I was going to use the Teapot but shit happens .. this will be a bit of a test for Brian as last year my starboard Hip was really hurting after about 8 laps of Angelsey, so we will see if its got worse, the teapot and bandit are much more comfy, so i might have to accept that as time passes i cant ride small bikes with high foot pegs.
Bigger probelm is getting back into my romper suit..

Just to fit a 1216 piston kit and up rated cams you don't need a degreeing wheel, which is what i think you are referring to.
only if you are fitting adjustable cam wheels
-
In my opinion the bandit handles better, or mine dose, the teapot is longer and a bit wobblyer when pushed hard, it gets in a bit of a state when changing direction really quick.
BUT it issoooooo much fun, in fact I’ve got mine sorted agin for use this year, test day at t castle Combe 5th next month,,

Looks like I might have talked Mrs Fatbloke into coming along, so if you need something for the stand, Chubb’s, I’ll have the teapot and Motomartin available between going round in circles seeing if I can remember the way round Caldwell…

I did my first dot head and cams onto a standard B12 about 2004, it was epic bolt on HP.
It did 133 rwhp with decent can and pod filters and went like fek, I dint degree the cams as I don’t know I supposed to!!I was told it wouldn’t work unless the cams were degreed??
this was after I had done a track day at snetterton, it didn’t blow up…
Ive done 2 more since using aftermarket camS, they have all been lively to say the least…..
2006 was the last year of the oil cooled bandit motor, like Colin said, very similar, the frame was different and the wheel are from Gsxr, but motor the same…

Nice one Dezza.
I’ve had a look and the loom I used was a very late bandit mark 2 all intact, so I might just plug in a set of indicators, in case tHere is any dispute.
rear brake hasn’t got a switch, and I forgot the brake doesn’t work at all so I’d better make the brake work first

So plan "D"
im working away next week until end of February, 1st track day booked at castle coombe 5th of May, so absolutely no chance of getting anything finished by then so, I went out the garage, inserted some petrol and pushed the tit, and it fried straight up and ran fine..
I might get another rear tyre, but other wise, "if it aint broke don't fix it"
Only thing i will do is fit indicators and see about MOTing it....
Dose a Q reg need indicators???????????????
-
It’s all easy enough, depending on the year, you might need to swop the ignition pick up, neutral switch, and alternator as the plugs are different between mk1 and later mk2, and the sups will swop straight over with pick ups, check the oil drain tubes as well as some are different.

Brian
in Trick Frames
Posted
So Brian is ready for his first outing since September last year, Castle Coombe again, Classic bike track day, I'm in the VMCC group
don't know if that's the bike or me!!!!!
Anyway, stopped all the electricity escaping buy fitting new earth connector and all it well, apart from my hips, its so uncomfortable for my dodgy hip bone, only did 5 miles and it was agony
had a look at raising the seat or lowering the Starboard side foot peg, but I don't think I can, and keep it looking half decent.!!
Im just a bit worried that i wont be able to ride the Bleedin' thing due to my hip! Getting old is shite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
