Un monstre ce bandit mk1 💣💣🔥🔥🔥🔥

that is one gorgeous looking bike mate..ive just sold my cbr6oof and im looking for a decent bandit 1200..now im hooked..great stuff my friend.

awesome. i love that bike. i just got my first bike this summer and cant get enough of it. i really hope that the next bike i pick up is a bandit. theyre such a bargain most of the time. i got to ride one a few months ago, it was amazing.

It's a 2003 Yam R1 Seat unit. You can make it fit by chopping off the standard B6 subframe and welding lugs on to mount the R1 subby on.

Lovely looking bike, I like how all the little touches have come together to make one big impact of a bike, great clutch cover too. Do you ever have any problems with how small the indicators are though? My friend has small indicators (poor guy lol) and everytime I'm following him i have no idea which way he's turning because I can't see 'em :S

More or less healed up now thanks Chris!! Bike rebuilt as well :o)

AMAZING WORK MAN!!!

Thanks Luke. The grille was on the bike when I first bought it years ago!

I love bandit i'v got one ... but this is owsome ... Great job

that streetfighter is one wicked bike tight

Thanks kartman....That was a good burnout you did there mate!!

awesome bike. the only thing i dont love is the tribal graphics and the chrome. but i love the r1 seat. nice work.

Thanks for the comments Robert. This bike was actually written off in a bad accident last June. If you look at my other videos you can see the orange/black one I rebuilt from what was left of this one!! Not sure what you mean by the Codon??

Top tripple is custom made. The forks and bottom trippleare from a GSXR750 K5. I pressed the Bandit steering stem into the GSXR bottom tripple and used Bandit bearings on it.The front wheel is original Bandit with larger bearings fitted and spacers made up to suit.

i'm not a massive fan of the bandits but i'm pretty impressed with the job you've done : )

what top tripple clams and forks is that off of? im tryin to get some inverted forks for mine

Dziękujemy za uwagi A12ee

Awsome job! Congrats! I bought the windowed covers kit for my B12. The engine's heat hurt the window? Tks.

Cheers Geoff. Point noted about the Red Bull can.....It's on my rebuilt bandit as well ;-) This bike was written off in an accident back at the beginning of June this year.

Thanks Antifaith. I hope you are making a good recovery mate and weren't too badly broken in the accident. These young'uns haven't got a clue.

No I just pressed the B12 stem into the Gixer bottom yoke and then used the original bearings. Custom made stepped top yoke used to enable forks to be dropped to maintain ride height.

how and where did you get that rear end and seat transfer. I would love to do that to my bandit. Please tell me

Very nice I got a standard bandit 12 but I might street fighter it yet

hey, am thinkin bout gettin a bandit 600 in the coming months n custom it. How hard is it to change the back end? (never done a custom)

Thanks Dave. They're Gixer750 K5 forks. I had to get some yokes made up to fit them. Since this vid was done I've got a matching bottom yoke as well. The top yoke is stepped so the forks can be dropped as they're shorter than standard B12 forks.

Where'd ya get those mirrors? I hate my factory bandit mirrors.

love it good job

Awesome bike!

how a person does not like this amazing bike.

It's from a 2003 Yamaha R1. Saw it advertised on a bike forum and snapped it up ;)

Just Amazing Bike and Amazing Job! Where can I find the Codon like you have on you bike complete of sits and lights? Please reply!!

what is this cockpit?

Thanks for the comment Red. It's standard Bandit arm with an R1 brace welded to it.

The swingarm is a Bandit 12 one with a Yam R1 top brace welded on. Quite a lot of work to get the brace to fit!!

Hi Joe. I got it done by a mate of mine and it's not a quick, simple or cheap job!!!. Theres a couple of guys on the Suzuki Bandit Forum that might be able to help you out!!

Dziękujemy za miłe komentarze Robercik

Crackin' response there Mr Rybes ;0)

Hi Woody. I got the seat unit and subframe from a mate of mine. It's from a 2003 Yam R1. There is a fair bit of cutting and welding to do to get it to fit. The original Bandit subframe has to be cut off and the lower holes plated over. Lugs are then made and welded in place on the frame for the R1 subframe to fit on. If you can message me your e-mail address I'll send you the link to my build on the Oldskoolsuzuki forum. Cheers Froudy froudster 4 minutes ago

your bike sounds better than mine mate !

please send me the link for the clutch window kit?

Took a while to get all the info for the wiring but I got there in the end ;) Thanks for the comment.

hi guys , very sorry to hear about the brown bandit 1200 , very sweet job done fair play man. question if i may the swingarm , is that a 01 r1 top half of swingarm welded onto bandit factory arm , looks the job , you have a talent and eye for what works, building a bandit 1200 myself at the min .hope turns out just as nice , whats the link for the rebuilt orange/black one , thanks again mate joe from ireland

Was it very difficult to adapt the wiring to the new cluster? I want to do a swap on my yammie. Nice bike thumbs up!

They're Rizoma Circuit 851 mirrors from Moore Speed Racing. They look good but you can only see your elbows unless you move your arms out of the way ;-)

How long did it take you to restore that bandit Steve?

what was that tale from man?

gratuluję piękna maszyna!mam małe pytanko czy łożyska w przednim kole są od gsxr

They're gixer 750 K4 forks. Not hard to install. Just stem swap, make up spacers for the wheel spindle and brake calipers, change wheel bearings to suit larger Gixer spindle, new lock stops...Seemples!!

Muito linda. Parabéns.

sound out froudy and thanks again for all your help , sweet machine again. when i get mine finished il throw up a vid

Thanks Duce. For those that don't know..On Thursday night a car driver decided to pull out of a layby and do a U turn in front of me. I had nowhere to go apart from to plant my front wheel in her wheel arch. I landed somewhere on the other side of the car. The bike is a write off as the frame is bent and cracked in places :( I was lucky to survive without any life threatening injuries although I am verrrrrrrry sore and have an enormously swollen right b*llock!! She will live again soon.

Beautifu bike and work on his look.This USD forks give him special look.

Changed the B12 wheel bearings to suit the gixer spindle. Gixer radial calipers used.

How did you figure out how put the new speedometer/tachometer on the bike?

Thanks Dave!

It was an ongoing project Luke...Did it over about 5 years. It got written off in an accident in 2011, but I've rebuilt it again!

Where did you get your rad bandit grill, wicked bike!

Thanks mate. It's in SF Mag 172 June 2008 in the Fanmail section ;)

The Codon or seat unit/subframe/stoplight is from a 2003 Yamaha YZF R1.

Thanks for the positive comments. The indicators are made by Rizoma....Very expensive and also VERY bright.

Just cut a can of your choice down to size and slip it into place under the two long bolts that hold the starter motor together. If it's a B6 you'll have to stick or cable tie it in place as it doesn't have the two long bolts.

Thanks Adam.

Cheers Stew.

They are Rizoma Circuit 851 mirrors from Moore Speed Racing. £130--£170 per pair on E-Bay at the moment...Just taken them off and replaced with bar end mirrors. I think I've sold them today for £110. If I haven't are you interested? Message me if you are. Cheers

Cheers mate

They are pretty rapid mate. My mate just picked a 99 B1200 up for £700...so, yes there are some bargains out there ;)

@Bunky34 Doubt if I can even get it out of the garage with the snow thats coming down at the moment :)

Very nice froudster :)

@froudster I feel for ya, mate. I just got out of hospital thanks to a 17 yr old light runner in her dads bmw, cleaned me up and wrecked my bike. Despite the injuries i know what hurts the most, by the look of your bike you certainly put some love into her, bet you're the same way.

beautiful

Thanks Dave :)

Any chance of a new vid with the updates Froudster? Matt

@Tuner747 It's from a 2003 Yam R1. Got it from a mate ; )

This one was written off by a Vauxhall Corsa driver...It was rebuilt as the orange/black one on my KZfaq Channel ;)

nice work..

Thanks Jebs. Wookler's gone a bit quiet recently ;)

cheers froudy pal, question for ya ,what country are you based in yourself as id ask you to source a 96-00 1200 swingarm and do the same set up with an r1 brace and hugger and chain guard and mounting pts for brake line etc. be savage if you could and il pay through paypal . cheers again froudy pal

@banditbodger Constructive comments noted ;)

Thats fucking nice.

Good to know thanks :)

my R1 does 600mph without crack........How you doing Matt?

Thanks Luke. More vids on my channel.

Lots of cutting, welding and grinding :)

No, my arms aren't that long :) Yes it is an R1 seat unit.

You have have done a shithot job on her, keep up the good work, would like to see some more vids!

Yeah, I also saw that orange bike and I love it, aggressive like this one and you did great job for both of them. Sorry for you lost, this one was wonderful. Anyway, sorry for my english but what I mean for "Codon" is the rear part of the bike, witch is the same on both of your bikes, with 2 seats ( or 1) and the Stop Light like from Star Trek!! ;) That part of the bike is not from Bandit and I looking for something amazing like that for my GSX-R 1100. Can you help me?

Thanks Snow ;)

Very nice is the swingman off an r6 also was it a big job to fit? Many thanks

Cheers stevieh

Thanks.

that is lovely i want one

Top brace and hugger is from 2002 R1.

Chopped off B12 subframe and welded lugs on.R1 subframe shortened to fit.

Thank you..It's called a "Windowed clutch cover"

Thanks Joe. Yeah you're right about the R1 brace welded to the Bandit arm...well spotted!! It wont let me post the link for the rebuilt orange/black bike but if you check my KZfaq Channel it's on there ;o)

i love that bandit i hope i can make mine look like that coooooooooooolllllllllll

very,very nice.....

serious bike!

Thanks mate. TBH the only chrome on the bike is the headlight...everything else is polished ally or stainless ;) I'm gradually doing away with the tribal graphics as well.

the swing arm is from R1?? w0w super nice bike...
