Title: Latest Project Post by: DucHead on September 17, 2015, 06:40:26 AM I'm nearly finished with my third Bandit: a 1997 1200, piped (Cone Engineering reverse megaphone), jetted and podded with a custom subframe, ZRX1200 swingarm, Galespeed wheels, GSX-R750 front end and rear sets, Tomasselli clip-ons, Motogadget m-Lock, KOSO TNT gauge, Omar's Fiberglass cafe tail section (I Frenched in the tail light -- my first fiberglassing project). The bike weighs 425 lbs wet. There's still a few things to finish like the seat cover but the jetting is nearly perfect and it goes like feck.

that looks CLEAN with the unrestricted view of the engine [thumbsup] Title: Re: Latest Project Post by: DucHead on January 29, 2017, 03:08:03 PM I got some fork parts anodized, lowered the gauge, bolted up new clip-ons, ISR masters and switch clamps. Full-floating rotor buttons from Motowheels too (0.5 lbs less rotating mass). Headlight switch is on the inside end of the left clip-on.

Where did that upper triple come from? Title: Re: Latest Project Post by: DucHead on April 15, 2017, 06:01:42 AM Nice housing! Where did that upper triple come from? My design (saw something similar on the web?) and machined by James Forster as well. Title: Re: Latest Project Post by: DucHead on April 30, 2017, 12:03:18 PM I had a few minutes to bolt up the new throttle cam housing. James Forster of JJ Machining in the UK (who also did my top triple clamp and carb caps) did the CAD (I drew pictures) and machining work.
