Dude!  C'mon!  Be nice to the new guy!  

Sounds pretty trick.  Can't wait for pics.

Yes, I'd like to see some pics and hear some more about the bike too. I don't know what a Dynojet card kit is. ....and did I say that I'd like to see pics? It's always good to see what people are doing with paint jobs...

I asked

[gsxr400 racer]

beuller, beuller, anyone, anyone! LOL So did you buy the bike with the kit (TTS BIG BORE) or did you have it installed . Just curiouse if you rode it before and after for a comparison? If you had all this done was it worth the money? After the kit would you ever want to ride a stock one again?
Cheer and welcome aboard bro!

"Hi Jay ,
Sorry not to have been on line much , not much spare time. I am trying to get my Bandit fixed after snapping off the subframe when I flipped the bike over a hump back bridge , anyway the subframe now bolts on and off and is just being repainted , plus while its apart I'm fitting an oil cooler off the early GXSR400 and forks off aYam YZF 600.Back to your question , when I bought the the bike it was straight from Japan and still restricted but had a nice beet racing exhaust on it so I cut off end can fitted carbon can and jet kit , I had it Dyno'ed and it made 58bhp. I ran it about 2 years like this then went mad and fitted everything else , I built race engines for the local bike brakers so got all the parts cheap. I have'nt had it on the Dyno since but I recon its got about 10 more bhp top end but loads more midrange especially with the variable valve. Once I get it going again I'll put it on the Dyno and post you the results."
