Those mods are real head turners.  My completely stock Bandit 1200 wants to grow up into one of these once my bank account can afford it.

Paint! What the F-fender? The tank is the best color there is!   :shock:

Nice!  What's the weight after the mods?

Black, of course.  Although I have kind of grown a like to the maroon tank.  Black it will be. and the fender too.

not sure where to weigh the thing, so I'm not sure about that.

I know it is much lighter though, without the arbox, stock exhaust, and steel rear subframe.  Any suggestions on where to weigh it?

A truck scale should get you within 2 lbs. Around here there are a few State weigh stations that leave the scale visable when they're closed.

You could try a friendly mail centre.

I work at one so I wheeled my bike in after I put my Hindle full system on and it had lost 22kg from stock!

Most (all?) landfills have large scales.  My local race-bike shop has one a really cool M/C specific scale.

Impressive.  Something about the way the tube frame runs around a contrasting-color tank makes me think Ducati.  Nice, nice work -- must've been a huge project!!!

Great looking Bandit.  I see you live in Naconowhere.  If you ever plan to take to bike to the Austin area I would like to see it in the flesh.  Or if you go the the CycleWorld show in D/FW I will be there again this year.
