Phil the frame is half the weight of the original cant remember the weights in KG , but i do remember trying to lift the standard frame in the car and it was a heavy old lump .

Made a couple of small brackets to hold the master cylinder reservoir pots on out of stainless 2.5mm rod and then painted black.

Job at the moment is making some new wheel adjuster blocks . Didnt want to have two long lenghts of threaded rod sticking out the back of the swingarm and be able to adjust the wheel base easily . Came up with making two long blocks with 3 holes in each side . One side threaded so the spindle screws in as on the spondon endurance swingarm i have for my K4 thou . For some stange reason i decided to make them out of titanium . Managed to get hold of a decent sized bar and cut 6 inches off the end . Has taken quite a few hours to cut, drill 6 holes and thread one block , one hole left to do !

I absolutely love this bandit, one of my all time favourites. Nice solution to the wheelbase adjustment and that top yoke is just sexual... PORN!!

Oh yeah... as above. I think that top yoke has caused a little accident, did you get that made or can you get them off the shelf?

Thanks for the replys . Ok the top yoke was made by a guy Sam Baker (cant remamber his user name on here ) but is on OSS facebook . Sent him the harris yoke to copy , then made a new one with adding the step in .Very helpful and resonable price .The stepped yoke was needed as the ohlins track forks were a bit shorter that stock and have a bit more travel than the gsxr 750 m forks i was using . Think the yoke is stepped 30mm to get the head angle ect back to reasonable measurements . Will post some more pics up asap .
