Added a few things to the Bandit recently which includes: ASV shorty levers, Galfer wave rotors, Holeshot top end oiling kit, Sprint steering dampener, NRC right cover (will be getting left cover to match, and Vortex sprockets (stock front - 47T rear).




Found out that steering dampers are hard to find for the Bandit nowadays.

Thx, I like them.  The clutch takes a little bit to get used to.  To make it work, I only use my two middle fingers for the clutch.

Looks good :bigok:
Do your bar end mirrors give a better view behind than stockers?  How do you like those grips, where did you get them?

<<...Galfer wave rotors...>>
Do you notice any difference vs. the stock rotors?

Better braking, more solid.  I ordered my rotors and pads from Blade on this forum.  He got me a good price for them.  As a side note, if you change your rotors, you have to change your pads which add to the cost.

I like the bar end mirrors better.  It gives it a more cleaner look and is less distracting while in the twisties.  The range of view is great, but trying to see distance isn't so great.  If I want to see something far back, I need to turn my head which isn't too often.  If you do a lot of city riding, they are better in my opinion.  The grips are ok, I got them at Cycle Gear.
