Hey, that's pretty cool. Very nicely done, in my humble could do with getting rid of all the hugger stickers though.
Why do you think it's a scam? Nothing too radical there.
99 B12, Scorpion pipe, rearsets, renthals, Twin Spots. She's a beaut.

Momentum is your friend.

Looks legit...  It's a 97 and he'll probably get $4k, which is twice what a 97 is worth KBB.

He did put tons of work in it...  Obviously a project bike fanatic...  He looks like he likes building them more than riding...

He even painted the chain LOL!

I'd try to ride the pain off it.  :motorsmile:
  I'd love to do a fall ride. Been checking for more info when I get home on the weekends. (tile setters don't need lap tops) Soon as a date pops up I'll try to work it in.

Carry Andrews has/had a awsome Bandit. If your not familar,he's a ex-endurance racer from Ca. that also buids bikes and motors for racers. It was on the cover of SportRider a few yrs.back.Had the stock bodywork(1si gen) but lots of motorwork,suspension,kein flat slides,and after market wheels that run about $3K. Claimed 160hp.
