B1250 OEM tank bra and hard bag slip-on solution

[CWO4GUNNER]

I ordered mine online from BikeBandit.com (http://www.bikebandit.com/partsbandit/) Cost is $36.50 pluse $7.95 flat rate shipping which is pretty fast about 4 days when in stock, and it is. You can use the OEM part finder by make or you can use the Bike bandit part number for this cover which is (6994943-001). I just don't feel like going to the dealer to see something new I cant buy LOL.
Well its official as you can see from the enclosed documentation. The tank bra in question is for the 2007 B1250s but its not listed as a Suzuki accessory for the B1250 but only for the GSX650F. The only reasoning I can think of is that Suzuki wants to get rid of all the carbon fiber tank pads they invested in for the B1250 that hardly no one is buying. Anyway the bra looks as well made as the OEM I had on my 05 B1200 except instead of a smooth pattern which I prefer because it looks more like leather, this one has a weaved pattern. But it looks good enough and more importantly protects the tank better then a carbon fiber decal IMHO.


ALSO FYI solution for fitting a slip-on exhaust if you have hard cases. Basically just twist the mid pipe so that the can lowers a bit then tighten down with an extended hanger. No need for a special touring pipe IMHO. http://forums.banditalley.net/index.php?topic=9248.msg83883#msg83883
