Suzuki bandit 1200 custom project The Green Meanie

[B2BC]

Bought this bandit 12 from  liverpool in a sorry state paid £800 got the bike home and well gutted it to nothing. Engine was running bad very noisy tappets and cam chain, leaking oil everywhere sump nut was threaded oil lines were threaded cylinder head was leaking every exhaust stud was rotten all snapped upon taking apart. Fork seal leaking half clock dash didnt work no oil light no fuel gauge no tachometer clutch was slipping bad list goes on. shouldnt of bought it really but now glad i did as the finished bike is well worth the work i did.

What green is that? Looks lighter than Kwak green. Nice airbrush work on the fairing, did you do it?

[B2BC]

yeh your right green is kawasaki green but i had the powdercoaters put a slight metallic coat on it to dull it down slightly and yeh i did the airbrushing and the fabrication to get the hayabusa nose cone to fit myself

Nice build buddy, love seeing bandits bought back to life! How do you find those rearsets? Any good?

[B2BC]

the reasets do the the job slightly higher than original hangers and there is no play or give on gear or brake lever found braking and shifting were very responsive would defo recommend buying but the are very fragile and brakeeasy compared to standard
