my bandit is under a cover locked up with stabilised fuel and all the holes blocked up to prevent small furry things getting in there and hibinating. the 125 has a whole set of issues that should be sorted this weekend and hopefully in the new year i will pass my full test and be able to ride my bandit  rather than the horrid 125 of doom

I think I will still be able to ride mine on the weekends.  My part of East Texas doesn't get too cold for long.  

I do plan on repainting.  I am thinking of a dark, maybe midnight metallic blue with a flat black frame.  How does that sound?  I am open to any painting suggestions.  

The bike is currently a metallic black with silver frame and no clear coating.  It was a spray can job done by the previous owner.  It doesn't look that bad but it need a new paint job.

Oh and the main thing I need to do is take off the fugly 3/4 fairing I have and make it a naked bike with just a nice windscreen.

My bike just got new lines front and rear and when the weather warms up a bit, it's headed to the folk's basement for a winter's rest.

Rob, I'll let you know how the stainless rear goes, its way firmer than it's rubber counterpart and I'm sure will feel a ton better. Can't beat $20 on eBay.

Project for this winter is going to be fixing the Rabbit. It decided to commit suicide the other day and roll downhill headfirst into a tree. The e-brake didn't hold and now it's time to play with VW's again...

Also: a super-helpful tip on bleeding the lines: use a syringe on the bleeder end to force fluid into the master cylinder then bleed normally. Speeds up the process tenfold. Can't take credit though, found out about it somewhere.

Ouch. That's unfortunate.

I just spent an hour changing a broken clutch lever. 10 mins to swap the lever and 50 minutes to find small little part that I dropped. It fell in between the exhaust header... grrrr.

The funniest part is: I was thinking "Just don't drop that one little piece" right before it happened.

Next year if I complain that my bike won't start remind to adjust the clutch switch!

Hey Mike,

Been down that road too, sort of like target fixation when you're riding
( "don't run off on the shoulder, dont run off on the shoulder, don't run off on the shoulder"):duh:

Ant129, about your paint plans... just my opinion, but I have seen pics of a few bikes with blue bodywork and black frame, and it just doesn't look right. How about a silver or medium grey frame with blue bodywork? If I was going for blue on my bike I would try to get the dark blue that Ford has been using for the last few years, it is really striking.

As for my winter projects, I just finished getting rid of my passenger pegs, and installing this sweeeet exhaust hanger my buddy fabbed for me. I will post some pics of this soon.

Regards all,
Steve

LOL Steve - that's a perfect analogy!  

For me...

Dual headlight/CF Buell Flyscreen conversion.

Treat/seal my tank.

Mess with gearing and jetting.

With lots of help from Jay (right, Jay???) I'm planning to put an intake cam in the exhaust side.  

Save money for track time!   :banana:

Randy, I still want less power from the rear brake, not more.  I already skid too much down the backstraight at Pocono.

You knew that IV drug habit would pay off sometime, didn't you?   :lol:

Have fun guys! I can't do a damn thing to mine until the spring :crybaby:

When I went down at the track on May 13th, the asphalt gave me a severe shoulder separation. I rode the rest of the summer and then went to see a specialist. I had the surgery to put my shoulder back together a few weeks ago. He put it back together with a piece of metal and screws. I start therapy in January and then hopefully I can start to work on the bike by March sometime and be back on the track by April. :motorsmile:
The bike needs so many things done for the next season, I don't even know where to start. I may just bring it to the machanics.

Damn, G.  That sucks.  Next month, I'll be 3 years post-op from having my labrum reattached w/ 2 screws, my rotator cuff cleaned up and a bunch of floating cartlige removed.  All orthroscopic.  I had surgery 1/30.  By mid-April I was ~90%.  Good luck!!!
