Ok, the battery was charged when I got home from work, so here's some pics!











On Order:
Fender Eliminator
LED Tail Light / Turn Signal

I need mirrors and front LED turn signals now, as well. Going to get a 2-way alarm with immobilizer, I think.

That thing looks brand new!  Lucky Dawg!!

I wonder if you could scrape the cheap looking honda stickers off?  I'll send you a bandit sticker that i know would just fit great!!

Nice, Todd!   :congrats:  :bigok:

Please do continue to hang out around here - particularly over in the B4 forum.  That's a shame about your B4.  What a pain in the ass!

I really like that bike.  I wonder how well the heat shields on that exhaust work for the passenger, with the placement of the pegs?

I had a hard time deciding between the Honda and the Bandit, as well.  I like the flat black look.

Have fun on it.

Quite well, I would think! I finished a two hour ride today and immediatly after taking my gloves off, touched the heat shields to see how how they were (back of the hand, I'm not a total idiot), since I want to get some luggage eventually. Honestly? They were warm. Not any warmer than they get sitting in the sun, either, they were just warm.

So yeah, they work pretty good.  :lol:

Nice bike! :congrats:

You got an amazing deal. I priced some around here and everything was $8,000+ CDN (at 88 cents exchange, thats 7,040 US).
