    Can't help with the Moon Units but I noticed that your silver bike uses (I think) a Daytona Verona 80 multi guage. Are you using the stock Blandit speed sensor or one from Daytona? I ask as I have a similar clock for my project bike, which has at the moment a Suzuki speed sensor on the gearbox sprocket (the same sensor is used on many Suzuki models). I have been informed that it is possible to get these units to work with the stock sensor but have yet to find anyone who has actually done this.

    Hi Dezza - the gauge on the silver Bandit is a KOSO TNT unit.  I drilled the rear caliper bracket to fit the sensor and it’s held in place with a grub screw.  I don’t like the extra wiring around the front wheel or sprocket cover, so this works well as the swingarm hides the sensor and wiring.

    When is a Blandit not a Blandit.

    When @rdubandithas been playing with it.

     

    impressive scoot you have there….:x

    Thanks SiBag!!

    On a whim,* I decided to swap in a Shorai battery from one of my other Bandits, and voila! So, the m.unit is fine, and I'll be speaking with Shorai.

    *actually, my wife said, "just put in another battery."  </blush>

     Well, I would have it back together, but the m.unit is completely dead.  Odd since the bike’s just been sitting, and I even started it a few times since tear down.  I checked all the usual suspects and the m.unit is getting 12V (and ground) but does not power on.  I’ve sent a message to Motogadget and Spiegler-USA.

     

    Any m.unit users have one shit the bed?

    Nice Blandits:) Ever thought of investing in an aftermarket frame kit to save another 2 tons of mass?

    xD Thanks! All three of my Bandits have material removed from their frames so that they weigh juuuuust under two tons.  :P

    Carb Rubbers

    I have recently sourced some 750 L rubbers so I could fit RS 38s. They are an easy fit and you can also use the OEM carb clips from a 1200 Blandit. I can try and get the numbers if you so wish. I got the rubbers from posting a wanted ad on this site:) I think the 1st 750 slingshots 88,89 J,K had 36mm carbs and then they went to 38 in 1990,91 for the L and M models but I may be wrong here. 93 was W. The W still has 38mm carbs but the rubbers may be different.

    Thanks Dezza!  Part numbers would be nice.  Worst case scenario, I'll order a set from csnl.com.

    Blandit rubbers will be stretched if used with 38mm carbs as they are designed to work with 36mm carbs! The ones you list are for 40mm carbs so will be an easy fit. Whether sourcing / using 750 38mm rubbers will be worth the expense / hassle is for you to decide!

    Thanks.  Would that be the 90-91 750?

    I know this is an old thread, but are the 13101-41C00-13104-41C00 too big for 38mm Mikuni RS carburetors?  I know the Bandit 1200 inlet rubbers will work with 38mm MIkunis, but I'd rather get a set that doesn't require force and stretching when fitting the RS38s.

    Here's a pic from a few months ago with a '94 (US) RF900 swingarm with a '98 (US) R1 swingarm brace welded on:

    Not a very good pic, but here's a shot of the other side:

    Just a thought...the RF900R swingarm is a direct swap for the Bandit 1200, has a torque arm-less caliper bracket setup, and GSXR-type axle adjusters.
