what ive done on bandit forks a few times is use a spacer under the damper rod (with a longer allen bolt) which will extend the overall length, but if you have an adjusting rod from the top cap running through the legs I don't think it'll work.

yeah me too, no problem so far

Ive had to stamp a few frames that ive fitted under warranty, so that could make someone suspicious as it won't be the same as a factory stamp.

por15 is good stuff, but you really need to do the prep work first before you put it in.

I like the slave cylinder set up, looks cool

it wasn't a 600 bandit carrier i used it was one off a gsx600f, they have a lower sprocket surface but still need machining down, if I remember right it was about 10mm ???

what about a frame ? you can pick em up pretty cheap with a V5

you can use the B6 wheel and spacers in a B12 swinger.

people who sell bikes in such a dangerous condition should be hanged, drawn and quartered

somebody has seriously bodged that front end the stem should be an interference fit.

is it not short for CADboard

yep, they are taking the piss their but cheaper ones come up from time to time. welding in a new piece is probably the way to go.

the lower removable rail is not available as a separate part from Suzuki, you have to buy a full frame !!!!! the mk1 1200 has bolt on engine mount the 600 has a welded engine mount, im sure they will fit but wouldn't look right they do come up on the bay or you can weld in a new section.

your a better man than me, I just don't have the patience

feck me thats a lot of prep !!!!!!!!! the bit I dont like about painting probably because im crap at it Ive been putting off doing the tank on my GS !!! but I might have another tank lined up ??????

not the right way to run a business

nice baldrick, how did you do that ?

I did 2 under warranty where the frame cracked at the rotary mount, Suzuki never wanted any warranty stuff back except the frame headstock !!!!!! I had to cut the headstock off both frames, bloody shame as the tiny crack in the mounts could of easily be welded and re-enforced

yeah get rid of that silly suspension set up, (and check your frame for cracks) ive replaced 2 frames because of cracked frames but to be honest they could of been welded !!!!!

Ive seen that orange bike Toni, I think it works, its a revers of the black with orange decals

yeah they might be due a service

plugs look ok. it might be time to pull the carbs off for a clean/check. have you got a compression tester ? it wouldn't hurt to check the compression.

what does #3 plug look like, is it wet/sooty ?

I originally used 2 flat strips of ally with a bend in them, then when fitted to the fairing with the screen on I bent the flat strips to an angle I was happy with, then transfered the angle to some sheet ally.
