oooops.....what have I done!!!
OK please don't judge me but after 5years on the Storm I fancied something different..........
Gonna be going under the spanner with some new parts to fit and a new look,should be fun.
And of course I've kept the Storm.........

Nice!
The tail plastics look quite like the Storm one.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Nothing wrong with a Suzuki Bandit, I was intending to get a 1200 Bandit myself, that was before a test rode my Firestorm
All though that was in 2001
Nice to have both Firestorm and the big Suzuki

Great bikes, I had a mk1 1200 for 6 years it was great at wheeling as it’s a short wheelbase. I had a lot of fun on it.

Re: oooops.....what have I done!!!
Congrats with the new toy TD
I like your choice in bikes, I have the similar Storm/Bandit combination in my shed.
My Bandit is a mk1 though.
Looking forward to following your project

Re: oooops.....what have I done!!!
Just the usual brakes/handling Al,I picked up a brand new GSXR1000 rear shock,Scorpion titanium pipe and can
a set of Dyna coils and Taylor leads,to be honest when it was delivered it ran like a bag of nails so I will go through the carbs and jetting.
Re: oooops.....what have I done!!!
My old bandit had a habit of wearing out emulsion tubes. The needles rattled around and made the hole oval, probably worth checking if your pulling the carbs apart.
