Bandit gone bye bye, After a fun year with it I decided that i could not live with an IL4!

Enter stage left... RST Futura
All lugged up!

Sporty mode (if u can say that!)

With the cr@p wether this week and work etc I've only managed 45 miles since i picked it up.. not even scrubbed the tires in yet

Hope i dont have a hangover ramora so i can take it out for a bimble

First job is to modify the underseat zorst to let out a bit more noise! Prefer the look of the original to the likes of Staintunes or Zorstec twin cans. With a bit of luck I'll get the new tail pipe done through the week at work.. way too quiet for a big twin just now

Nice bike! I know what you mean about the inline 4's.. They are horrible. I miss the engine braking I got with the SV, it's just not the same on the bandit.

Cheers folks

Decided not to go for a run today, attacked the exhaust insted! quick trip over to the work this avo resulted in this...

Looks and sounds better now

Only down side to the day, after polishing the death out of it i managed to drop the bike.. lost the balance taking it off the main stand and fell away from me!

Large touch up tin required now after it landing on gravel.

oops, happens to the best of folk, dropped my sv the first week I had it whilst polishing the thing.. So instead of removing minor blemishes, I added some pretty major ones instead.
