So was looking out for a 7/11 to use as a daily but my mate with his fightered bandit 12 kept telling me how awesome they are so I bit the bullet and bought one! Picked up this clean 'stock' T reg bandit 12 with only 3 previous owners and 13k on the clocks with full MOT history to prove it...  Just about fits in the garage atm (the 2 H*ndas are my dad's...honest!)  |

So first things first...with a jack up kit already fitted I then removed the stock handlebars in favour for some black lower and wider renthals and ditched the Givi screen it had fitted and binned the heated grips  Then the new exhaust was ordered  Decided the stock mirrors looked horrible so ditched them too in favour of a bar end mirror to check for the rozzers  |

That's a mint looking b12 you've found there.. Congrats, that's a keeper  I also got a carbon danmoto for my b6, and one told me I would like it, maybe not the neighboors that much.. Funny enough, yesterday I was working with my new morgan carbtune tool, when I thought I heard someone shouting? Thought it was nothing, but when I turned the engine off, an old man with his wife yelled "turn off that madness already! Going mad listening to it!" then his wife said to him "it's multiple times a week.." and he yelled again " multiple times a week!!!" haha.. It's really more like once every two week, and I only messed with the carb sync for 5 minuttes.. Anyway, it's a nice sounding exhaust, and it's not that loud at all in my oppinion.. BTW, where the pipe connects to the manifold, I had to expand the 4 quarter halfs slightly with a gentle touch of a hammer. |

yer definitely hoping its a keeper! and hoping its loud (although just incase i bought the pathetic looking baffle for it) and lets face it most Suzukis are madness! iv had to widen the 4 quarters too but still struggling for a decent fit...my mate with his fightered b12 (who happens to be my MOT man) is gonna be a bit more forceful for me on tuesday... stock exhaust is back on for now for the run to Raven big breakfast tomorrow |

well got the danmoto can on today...happy with the quality and the noise (very loud!!! even with baffle) but nice finish so far. however it was meant to be a direct fit but it didnt fit in or over the collector port so my mate and I had to use a section of link pipe from an r6 to go into the collector and clamp that then add the danmoto link pipe over the r6 link pipe at other end and clamp that...alot of faff for what was meant to be a simple task! looks the part though!  next mods on the list are a tail tidy/new undertray to get rid of that hideous plasticky mudguard bit! and keep on the lookout for USD forks and a cheap swingarm to steal a brace off of! also quite tempted to buy some cheap chinese CNC shorty levers...anyone used them? the quality up to scratch? I had some on my old H*nda and they seemed ok but have heard rumours of them snapping? |
