Project "skip build"

[titan]

Need a clean but these should do the trick

Connection plugs on order then I'll get on a wire these in so I can test the engine

[titan]

Playing with some ideas.

First I really like this concept of an MT10



But as my wife won't let me buy another new bike i figured I would see what a rough drawing of a bandit with that sort of tail would look like.





I think I have my design now now.
Front light will be an MT03 or similar with a small screen may need a bigger engine but we will see

so a quick look on flee bay, it seems a lot of people are crashing MT10's. so at the weekend i'll take some measurements of a mates, see if the subframe is wide enough to make work on the bandit frame. i'm thinking probably not but for the £100 it's going to cost it may save me a lot of work. it's fixings are vertical so i'm thinking it will be an easy job to weld on some solid bar taped with the right pitch to fit it on the frame.

will get the tape out and see where we stand.

should probably look for a tank too may come in handy

hit the nail on the head there "make it look easy" ... it's never easy

gen2 bandit tanks are nice on gen1 B6, not much needs done either

think I might have seen an FZ6 tank used too, but don't quote me on that

I need to go back and re read the bandikat thread nick some ideas hahaha.

Added a bit colour to the design, wife says I like white to much so going with a purple and bark blue frame.

It's also got a name now BD12 very original but there you go. best add an engine to the list

[titan]

10" top bars
11" bottom bars

subframe on the bandit distance between the bars. i asked my mate to measure his MT10, but as he buys bikes rides them for 10k mile then trades up he didn't know what i ment so will have to wait till sunday.

[titan]

Nipped in the local Yamaha dealer, did a quick measure look like top mounts are about 9" apart and bottom mount is 8" so that would be workable but the length is just to long for the look. So I may try my hand at making a subframe later in the year that will attach the same way

[yantosh]

a lot of modern seat units look very long on bandit/gsxr style bikes , a few years ago the scene was full of them looking like someone had hung a canoe off the tank
