Bandit build

Only a very small amount of surface rust that cleaned off quite easily.

Been doing a bit of work. I'm suffering from a little bit of a sore back at the moment so can't do a real lot.

Moved the bike out under the pergola so I can get the wheels off and do the chain and sprockets. The front sprocket was fairly buggered luckily the shaft is reasonably OK.




Also started to make a cover to fit under the seat to make it a little neater and house the electrics.



Will get some new tires this week and then I think I'm starting to see the light.

 

Put the wheels back on, with new tires, rotors and sprockets and discovered the chain is a mile too long, now I have to hunt for the chain breaker I haven't seen in 10 years.

 

Slowly getting there. Don't seem to be able to find the time to get much done at the moment.

Got some tires fitted, have replaced front and rear rotors and pads, and new chain and sprockets.






Strangely after sitting for a week or so it only running on 3 cylinders, just hoping its a blocked carb and nothing worse.

 

I'm hoping about a week. That is as long as it passes a roadworthy first go.

 

Back to running on 4cylinders again. Seems I must have damaged a plug putting them in.

Got a bit done today, brakes bled everything bolted back together so now just need to sort out the tail section.

Also thinking I might change the clipons for something else. The riding position is just a little to low.

 

Getting so close now. Have ordered a set of drag bars, and paid for express postage so they should be here shortly.

Got almost everything back together now, just have to tidy up the seat a little, and complete the wiring for the tail lights and indicators and I think its all good to go. Also remembered that I'm really crap at painting and really should just pay someone to do it.

 

My problem with painting is I tend to rush it. I've found when I do things and they come out good its because I took my time, this was my first go at 2 pac and I was worried about it going off too quick and rushed it. It will do for now as I thing in the long run I'll get another rear cowl of some sort anyway.

 

Drag bars are on, also fitted the standard mirrors for the RWC.



A quick trip to spotlight for a bit if vinyl for the seat.



And I think were good to go for the roadworthy
