[downtheshed]

A pal has just bought a crashed bandit and is looking for ideas on which way to go on the rebuild, where are the best pages for pics/ideas, can't be a racer rep as his back is bad!!

Thanks

There is some nice bikes in “awesome oil cooled pictures” in the oil cooled page

Trying to convert him from Harley tractors!!

Entirely depends on how much money he has to spend

 

Ive had 18 and modified all of them to some degree, some cost £50 to sort out, my shiny Heron painted one has cost many many thousands over the last 22 years.

Pictures, did someone say pictures????  I might have one or 2

To to Google, type in Suzuki bandit 1200 custom and then click the images page, lots and lots of one off bandits

Get a hold of some old Streetfighter magazines. Some lovely ones in there.

Nah.. he is used to abuse 'cos he owns a HD.. 

OSS is very kind to fresh converts 

[wraith]

HD riders,

someone has to own a HD or we would not have anybody to laugh at

I will twist his arm, he's got a new rolling chassis of Paul M, to go with the crashed bike he started with. So 2 suzi's in his shed already.

Any style that catches his interest can be done to a Bandit. If he is into his HD's, you can get sone nice frames for good prices to take the bandit that way. Google or pin interest is where to start

Like all bandits, it'll be perfect to let the owners lack of imagination and lack of taste run riot. Defo wouldn't look at shit fighters mag for inspiration either, unless the inspiration is for pink bolts, cam to cam links and general Halfords tat.

Mwaaaaaahaha!

1. More power.                                                                    

2. Upgrade suspension.

3. Upgrade brakes.

4. Light wheels.

They do make rather good " sleepers".

Maybe I joined that party later then most of you did. But I remember some cool ones. Blue frame, white paint, MV single sider etc. Another single sided green one with zx12 forks, quite liked them. The ferrari one had some cool details to it.

Cool build, unfortunately project stopped.

Unfortunately i do remember that Ferrari bandit, very o.c.c.  and  maximum cringe. Doubt that there are any Ferrari's running round with bandit stickers on them. Fortunately I think the bandit world reached critical mass after that hilarious bandit/vtr/crash helmet lash up.

No need to reinvent the wheel, ride the bike and adjust as needed.....
