Here's a pic of the headlight brackets I made out of galvanized pipe clamps and rubber strips
I still have some work to do on those brackets as well as mounting blinkers, cleaning up the tail, putting the carbs back on, painting etc. That's a Buell BLAST headlight BTW. Let me know what you think, I'll post more pics and info as I go.
Thanks guys, Yeah it's pretty loud. I opened up the can expecting there to be no packing left, but to my surprise it was still about 80%. It's a good loud though.
I forgot to list the mods:
Performance: Full Yoshimura exhaust, stage 3 dyno jet kit, K&N pods, '92 USD forks set-up and swingarm and WEIGHT REDUCTION!
Aesthetics: Bar-end mirrors, Carbon fiber triple tree cover and bar-ends, Clear fuel filters, translucent red fuel lines, Buell BLAST headlight, homemade headlight brackets
Thanks, I wired the blinkers today and made some better arms for the headlight brackets. It's too cold out to work long enough to get any real progress done.
Got some work done today.
I used the second pair of pipe clamps and rubber strips to secure the canister to the undertail
I also cut out a new gasket for the petcock and RTV'd the bolts and edges to seal em up.
I made a bracket for my plate too. Next I need to re-wire the taillight/blinkers set-up, but first I need to find a cool taillight *Searches E-BAY like a robot on crack*
I have one on my race bike. Had to order a new one after running race fuel through it after all these years. The rubbers dried out. Turns out I had a special order part (Hose Barbs facing straight down) so I had to just have them build one.
If your valve leaks in any way they have GSXR style Pingel vales in stock and they also have rebuild kits for your setup still available.
Yes, it's in Danbury. In summer time theer are a lot of bikes there every Sunday morning. On certain Sundays they have big rallies / meets with hundreds of bikes, all types / sizes / etc. I havnt been there since 96, but I always hear that it is the same.
Liking the bike so far used to have an 86 gixer 750 with alot done. Wish i had kept now though. my first bike and first regret for selling. If i could Id buy it back in a heartbeat and fighter it out.

Small small world crazy how it works man. Hope to hear from ya will be posting some better pics of the bandit once I can get outta storage damn snow!
Awesome, yea POST MORE PICS! I hear you on the snow, I had to shovel just to open my garage door so I could work on my bike. Well, I'll hit you up next time I'm up there.
Well, I've been busy in GIMP for the past 3 days since I learned how to use it a little, so here are some concepts for the final product of my build:
