Hey guys, I just wanted to post and introduce myself to the forum. I recently purchased a 2002 Suzuki Bandit (5K Miles) from a friend for $900. My plans for it are to immediately modify it (naked/streetfighter)
The mods I already wish to do:
1.) welding a new tail (06+ R6 tail) I guess the easiest route is to buy a subframe and weld that?
2.) handle bars, however I have NO IDEA which route to go... renthal? straight bars?.... maybe a whole GSXR front end? I've only rode 1 bike my entire life, a 2002 r6 for about 6 months., a few years ago. I want to mention this b/c that stance felt great, the bandit stock stance with the bars feels really awkward. Dont wanna go overboard thought
3. removing OEM fairings, and mounting the gauges and etc to the bike... still reading on how this is done... any advice or links to neat products like headights, etc to consider are welcomed.
I am a total, newb.... i figured for 900$ I could learn about bikes and ride it when im done.
Currently, the ONLY problem with the bike is a so-so idle.... it usually has to run with the Choke on, which i will have myself and a friend dismantle the carbs and clean the jets or w/e....youtube and DIY's should help.
cant wait to start playing with it!
