What I would really like is:-

Dynojet Stage 3.
K&N filter.
Akrapovic Sports can.
OHLINs suspension.
New Front Forks
Twin Headlights. Mini speedo. LED rev counter.

And a custom paint job.(see attached)

Probably a bit OTT for a Bandit, but it's what I have,
It might be sensible to trade down. But then I would not ride a bike if I was sensible.

Is the first pic your bike colour now?

Show the whole bike its hard to make out but the colour/art work looks good.

I can't make out the 2nd pic, the yellow and black one, is that the colour you want.

No these are the two stylkes I would like.
I prefer the Orange, but the Yellow and Black is simplier(cheaper).
Not had the bike painted yet, need to find someone in Irland that can do it. I got the graphics off the web but all in USA painters. There must be someone in Ireland that can do this!!

There is a place here in Limerick, the work looks good but i think he is a bit dear, Punk paint; but i think you will find others in Dublin.

you'd see 120 handy enough from a 1200 motor, prolly closer to 130 with a well set up Can/K&N/upjet.

as for the suspension mods, dont go spendin a fortune on Ohlins, get a used Hayabusa shock and lash it in the back, and get some progressive springs for the front with heavier oil.

I did it (minus the heavier oil, which I should have done) and it improves the handling and road holding by a country mile.

The 'Busa shock raises the rear by about an inch and its more egar to lean in, and it stays nice and stready through the twisties.

let us know how ye get on
