I am familiar with vintage bikes and don't know much about parts sources for the 2001 Bandit 1200S. I have book marked Zero Gravity and Holeshot Performance. Looking for other sources; windscreen, engine case guards, risers, most anything at this point... eBay doesn't seem to have much aftermarket stuff except bling stuff... Is there a list of book marks/links somewhere that I have missed?

Im completely rebuilding my bandit (see thread below this

) and have been doing alot of looking myself. 2 more places id check out are

www.justbandits.com
http://www.whaccessories.com/

Especially the first one

Hope that helps. If more pop up ill let you know. Ive done business with holeshot (to the tune of 3k+ in the last 4 months) and stand by them 100% FWIW

I'm in the same boat...used to getting vintage stuff but this whole new thing is odd...
there is a listing for various parts places on the bandit alley website...under parts, some of those links are out dated now.
for exhaust (yoshimura) and braided brake lines, race tech suspension stuff....as well as a great scott steering damper that I would/will buy once i can justify it to myself I've found here - http://www.hardracing.com/ the site is annoying but i've found their prices good...tell them i sent you and we get a discount..lol
happy part hunting let us know if you find another place to get stuff.

Another lesser-known company is cogent dynamics, I think their site is www.moto-cd.com. They sell all the popular suspension upgrades and any and all Spiegler products (Spiegler SS lines own, btw). Recently they have started manufacturing a purpose built shock for the B12. The website isnt terribly helpful, but give them a call.

Thanks for the link... it was typed in a bit wrong...

should be:

http://www.motocd.com/index.htm

The rear shock looks interesting... they offer three variations. Hmmmm

Givi[/url offers a windscreen and crash bars for your Bandit - as well as the racks and luggage.

[url=http://www.renntec.co.uk/]Renntec offers crash bars and luggage racks, too.

For risers, besides Holeshot, there's GenMar

For performance related stuff, if you want to get wilder than a jet kit, check out APE Racing's GSXR Zone. They still sell hop-up parts for the old 1127cc GSXR1100, which motor-wise, is very similar to the 1157cc Bandit 1200.

If you're not afraid of ordering from Europe, there's LOTS of stuff available over there. One popular source is Banditmania.

Wild Hair Accessories, the second link Banditofdoom gave, sells stuff from German suppliers, one of their largest sources is Team Metisse.

I've personally bought items from NWS in the UK and Thunderbike in Germany.
(The front pages of Thunderbike would lead you to believe they're into choppers, but they have a Streetfighter section, too.)
