Title: I finally got my own!
Post by: ZipTi on September 14, 2005, 09:08:57 PM

I finally got my own Bandit, she (I think its a she?) came tour maxed out, Givi wing rack (no bags), Corbin seat, Heli bars and a barn door for a windsheild. Less than one hour after the purchase that "stuff" has to be removed. Let the modifactions begin! 97 1200s with 15k on the clock, needs tires.....waiting?
Thanks for all the helpful info, this site made it easy (not to hard anyway) to buy another motorcycle. e

Thanks for the welcome, some of the "stuff" removed is listed on e-bay (shamless plug).
I didn't want to join and seem like a mooch.
I have always loved the motor in the b12 and now I am hoping to lighten her up a little bit.
My other ride is a duke ll, which brought me back to my riding roots. Now with the b12 in the stable I just need a vintage Italian m/c. e

:welcome: and :congrats: (or is that vice versa?) :motorsmile:

Nobody would consider offering up goodies for sale as being a mooch... in fact, it is considered more polite to offer them to the board before ebay.

I can safely say that you'll have a blast on your B12.  I've only driven my truck one time since I brought the Suzuki home.
The best way to tell the gender of your bike is to look down between the frame bottom and the swing arm....see a set of testicals?  It's a boy if there is :shock: It's female if not... :beers:

Welcome to the site.  I hope you aren't selling your corbin, you'll probably miss it if you do.

I always wondered how to tell the gender of my bike.  Apparently mine is female or very poorly endowed.  I'm pretty sure she is just a very butch female.

yep...this is an important preliminary if you're considering lowering the bike..you may have to consider a scrote-tuck in order to keep the ground clearance. :motorsmile:
