Hi Ian, it's Dan again. Wow, that is some fine craftsmanship.I did end up getting a Abba lift, and started tearing my Bandit down a couple days ago. I hit 54,000 miles on the 'ol girl and still runs good. I took it off the lift today and the engine is out of the frame. Now all the work begins ! I have a 8'x4' table that was being thrown away at a collage chemistry lab while I was doing tile work there. My Bandit covers the whole top all in pieces along with marked plastic bags full of fasteners. I didn't realize how much dirt and grime I accumulated over the years ! I would defiantly need some skilled help to make the stand, I do know a couple people. With that many miles on the bike , it would be nice to put new pistons and rings in but I'm a little light in the wallet. It will get a new paint job, forks need to be taken apart and cleaned ( has Race Tech) and put back with clean oil. Shock is a Works Performance and there is a local guy that can go over it. Valves will need adjusted ,probably more cleaning than anything else. The engine is laying on a piece of wrestling mat now, I was just looking in the exhaust ports with a flashlight, (not that I know what Im looking for) and seen #4 cylinder was a little darker. As long as the engine is out now sure would be nice to give it a go over. Oh, and I'll get new clutch plates too. Hope all is well with you, Dan

Nice work ! Not sure if it makes a difference over the video, but by habit I looked away while you were welding.

I noticed you don’t use cutting oil . It would make the blade last longer. God you got a lot off tools luck git nice one 👍❤️🏍🔧

Thanks for the tip Graham 😎 most of the tools are Bill’s, I’ve got a few I have collected over the years, been wanting a horizontal band saw for a long time!
