The frame was powder coated black, but most of my money went on the engine.
Its now 1216 with gsxr head and cams,HEL oil cooler, K&N oval filters, new camchain and just bought these.

Anyway it should all be finished soon and i was wondering if i can come on this years annual ride out on my Bandit, I missed last years but really enjoyed the 2004 run.
Cheers and be careful in all this snow :!:

:D Its a green/blue/purple flip job, don't know the exact colour coz it came like that. But i do know who painted it and its an excellent job, with airbrushed knuckle duster on the tank and airbrushed undertray. The guy i bought the bike from said the paint job cost £700, which seems reasonable for the amount of work that must have been involved. :lol:
