Now that I've sold my truck and my only personal transportation is the Bandit
, I've made a list of the modifications I want to do and am working my way down it. I broke them up into three categories:
Touring: gel seat, Givi hardbags, heated clothing (still need to work out how much the alternator on the Bandit will handle), taller windscreen
Performance: Here's the expensive stuff, of course. Exhaust (think I've settled on the Scorpion can), pod filters, jet kit, progressive fork springs
Bling: The useless stuff. Integrated LED turn signals/brake light, LED front turn signals, trim the rear fender, accent lights.
So of course, I went the cheapest and most useless route first: the bling. The integrated brake light came from Clear Alternatives; they're very bright and there's clear definition between running light/brake light and the left and right turn signals. Accent lights are 7-color Lizard Lights from Custom Dynamics; you can choose one of 7 colors or have them cycle through all of them. I'm still waiting on the front turn signals and short stalk adapter plates. By the way, apparently no one in the local motorcycle retail business has any idea what a "load balancer" is. Everyone I asked about it just said "check Radio Shack". Thanks, I know Radio Shack has high-wattage load resistors; what I need to know is what value to use. I finally found some at Super Bright LEDs.
Took some pics tonight... the only camera I've got available is a fully-automatic digital, so I couldn't play with the f-stop or shutter to get the exposure just right. It doesn't look like there's a lot of definition between the tail light and the turn signal; but they're very yellow and very distinct from the rest of the tail light. One of those things you have to see in person, I think.
