fatblokeonbandit Posted March 7, 2017 Author Posted March 7, 2017 Anyway, I had the day off, so instead of doing the stuff I need to do, ie put the bandit back together for the donnington track day in 2 weeks!!! I tried my spoked wheels I saved from my Mag2.....as the red wheel is a 750 4.5 incher i was a bit worried the 5.5 inch spokey one would nt fit... any way with a bit of jiggery pokery that will fit OK,,also raised the ride height back to that which a normal person would use it was dragging its arse on teh deck... I think this could be OK 7 Quote

Ill be getting rid of the engine, rad, carbs and modified loom.. it will need to be proper money as this is self funding ,, that is I have spent every penny on buying the 'arris so i need to sell stuff to pay for new stuff??? Or a swop of course Quote
SiBag Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Here we go again, If its anything like your last one it should be a cracker.. Quote
TLRS Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 It's your bike! However the silver goes well with the wheels and tank, if you have to ask.. If the other ones have been upgraded, then it's a different matter! Quote
Fula28 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Loving this Gary, Amazed that these are still found in one piece! So many get chopped and messed about over the years. Top job captain! Quote

And dose anyone have any idea how the fek to get that smelly watery cooled engine out, its sumps about 6 inches below the bottom rail???

It needs the seat changing but i might leave it as it fits and is cheap. and made of carbon fiber by harris as well as the mudguard Edited March 7, 2017 by fatblokeonbandit Quote

Sweet find looks a sound base once a proper motor is in. Seat unit needs to go in favour of something more period. If going with spokey wheels why not go with some RWU forks? Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 I was thinking about some right way up forks, and am after a set of srad 600 ones really cheap.. I willl try it and see.????? 1 Quote
