That's going to look class when it's finished. It's got nice lines and a good stance. Love the exhaust, looks nice and compact. Not the biggest of Bandit lovers but I likes that a lot.  How did you go about getting the Triumph arm in the Bandit frame? Widen the frame or shorten the arms pivot point? Or a little of both? |

Cheers. The swingarm was a bit of a ballache to fit. Had to get the frame widened to accept it but I'm a big fan of single sided swingarms so it had to go in! Once I had it in I found that the front / rear sprockets didn't line up so had to get a 3/4 inch offset front sprocket to sort that. The seat unit (Yamaha R1 5VY) was a lot more simple to fit. The Yam subframe fitted just nicely between the Bandit frame rails so just had some holes drilled into the frame rails and then had some nuts welded into the holes. Then it just bolts into place. I'm hoping to get it finished some time next year but at the moment all my spare cash is being spent building a slabby 750 race bike for next year. I might put up a build diary in the projects section seeing as I've only just started it.

Also forgot to add the engine has had a bit of tuning for a bit of extra grunt. Gas flowed head, 11.75-1 compression with dial in cams. Dyno'd at 138 BHP / 113 NM torque. Should prove to be a wheelie machine with the extra power and shortened wheelbase.
