Good start for a project. Not really my taste (the colours) but it's all there.
Engine mounts look a bit... er..... dunno.

The perfect combination, bandit power, and efe style. Love it. It does need to be a different colour though  |

the panels look plain atm but once the tank rubbers are on if i can get some and the graphics im having made up fitted and wheels powdercoated should look a bit different but im keeping frame blue as there is loads of anodised blue parts for the bike got to get a better end can but fook me its a big diameter and not alot of room unto rear foot peg hits it hence why its 3 inches big lol

and in goes a 1999 bandit 1200 soon after i found out the mounts were different on the rear the other engine had the mounts shaved down ffs so 2 days later finally got it inline everything was looking ok unto i came to the exhaust system old engine must of been sitting at different angle as downtubes now touching frame and sump and collector box was miles of   |

before and after engine swaps problem with exhaust was it didnt sit in the heads as far as it does on the bandit engine hence why its brought it closer in to the frame   |

the exhaust should be an easy fix , warm it up with a plumbers torch then either put a bar in the exhaust link pipe to lower it a midge so you can refit your brake pedal .
nice to see you cracking on with this project its looking good .  |

Just a wee thought. If you took a MK1 B12 motor out and replaced it with a Mk1 B12 motor then it should theoretically be in approximately the same place as the original even after the spacing. If it was mine i think i would remake the engine mounts in mild steel as they look like aluminium and i'm pretty certain your motor will start to move about a bit after a thousand miles or two.
