Very nice! Did you simply paint the stock wheels or are they after market? It sure stands out.

Ditto on that question. I've been thinking about getting mine powdercoated.

Powder Coated the stock wheels. The process involves heat and baking and it creates a durable finish. I would not recommend paint on the wheels.

to all for their kind comments. The bike is almost orgasmic to ride.

Very cool contrast with the wheels. Very, very nice bike overall.

That looks great really like the nose fairing. Not keen on the red wheels tho, but each to their own

. Wheel colour is a thing with me just now, I've got white on my Bandit400 and want to change the colour when I get it re-sprayed next year but not sure what too, least I know I don't want red

Hmmm, do you think that fairing would fit the 4?

I don't see the footpegs (?)

The blue grips and red wheels...

The suspension upgrades

Good catch on the pegs.
Rear pegs installed.
Front pegs not installed (in pictures above)
I'm still struggling with the validity of the vibration dampening effects of the stock pegs vs. billet. So, I've been swapping to see the difference.
Results of test to follow in a weekor two.

To each their own, right?

It's interesting that they are growing on me and I'm enjoying the color more.
I didn't like the Repsol Honda orange wheels that Nicky and Pedrosa have, when I first saw them.
Now.....I love it.
It's kinda wierd.

Hey Rick - what's the word on the rider pegs? I was thinking of a new set myself.

Dave

P.S. I LOVE the red wheels. Very, very nice looking Bandit!!

Dave,

To be honest, I believe that there is slightly less vibration with the stock pegs. With Dale's rearset adapter plates, there really isn't much difference.
Also, to be honest

, I have recently gone to the dark side, so the testing is cut short,,,,,,,, and the Bandit is "for sale".

Check it out.
Love this bike!
'06 CBR1000RR!!!!!

Dude, you really pulled the trigger on that one. The CBR is very nice, have not ridden one but I understand that it is the best all around 1K machine on the market right now. Honda is known for building that kind of bike- a bike that does many things well.

Sorry to hear the bandit is leavin, besides mine

you had the best looking 2G B12 out there.

I am gonna pull that trigger myself, but going retro. This bike has my attention:

The old faithful GS750 is gonna have to go to make room.

Good Luck, Ed.
