Hey Solman,

You sent me some stuff to check prices on, but the numbers are not matching up. Would you please give me a call when you get a chance.

Once I pick up my brake lines, my bandit will be in riding condition again.  Thx to the help of the forums, I also came across an oil cooler as well.

Hey sol, sorry to hear about the get-off. Like we say in racing though, if you can walk, stumble, crawl away from it the rest is just time and money.
If tomorrow really is the first day of the rest of my life..........does that mean all the shit I do today don't count?

I got most of the body work squared away.  I just have some finishing touches on it finish it up.  I will take updated pics of it soon.

looking good all think considered. 

You might be able to get a matching tank from salvage. 

One minor thing, the engine paint is PJ1 Suzuki Gray.  It's the same paint they used to use on their dirt bikes.  You can pick it up at most shops.  Take off the covers, smooth them with a file and shoot them with the rattle can.

I got a new paint job on the bike and I ordered a carbon fiber front fender.  I will take a pic of the bike after I get it installed next week.

Well the bike has gone from this

This isn't the greatest of pics, but it was a quicky job.  I will try and get some better pics of it later.

So glad it is all coming together for you. I really like the blue/white 05 colors.....are you going to keep it that way or are you going to paint?

Either way it looks great.  :motorsmile:

Paint?  No way!   If I was going to paint, I would've just painted my other body pieces.  I will still eventually get them fixed and painted to have two sets.

I think the top triple is different on the naked bandits.
