Welcome, I do like those spoked wheels :D Were you ever tempted to try them in the 97 (silver) bandit?

lol, not yet.  The front would bolt right on , but the rear might be an expensive swap.  The silver bike is supposed to be a modern cafe as it lacks the classic lines.  The wheels, and suspension are in line with a more modern flavor.  Nevertheless, I'm curious how it would look with the Alpinas...

Some updates to the '97, including a new exhaust system, ISR masters, new shocks, etc.

 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?

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.

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>

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.

...same setup on the new/black bike:
