Very nice job, it looks well proportioned. Most tail swaps I have seen have the look of the ass end sticking way up in the air. Yours looks right without that effect, perhaps its the use of the Monster rear as it is nicely rounded and conforms to the rear wheel.

Either way it looks good. BTW, what masters are you using up front for brake and clutch?

Ride On, Ed.

Good eye! Ducati 916  clutch & front brake master cylinders with CRG levers. Very nice light feel on the clutch and adjustable!
Thanks for the compliment, in my opinion the motor IS the focal point on the Bandit and after she gets paint that is the first thing that you will see!
thanks, eh

Thanks, eh

Nice!!
I suspect with the same colour everywhere it'll look like it came straight out of the factory! It's not such a dramatic change, but it looks very good, now that's a bike i want to mod mine into! (when? ehh...someday :wink: )

Thanks for the compliments! not actually going for a factory look, the frame will be powder coated (thinking a Flat Iron look) polished sub-frame Flat black forks & triple trees as well as swing arm, then a really LOUD high metal flake fender seat cover & tank, however there is a fabricator in england that build alloy fuel tanks! hummmmmm?

Love that ass!  Nice fab work.  Those Veypor units are slick.  It’s a shame to loose the big dual chrome gauges, tho.  They go so nice with the headlights.  My only criticism is that I’m not feelin’ the love from that squared-off fender.  Maybe it’s just the color but to my eye, it looks a little out o’ place.  Overall, love it!
