My 600 bandit

[Chadatious 0]

Heres my baby. my 600 bandit 1998.

I picked it up for £925 back in october as a cat c write off, but only had 3500 miles on it, it had a fiaring but it was smashed, exhaust was dented, bars bent, and a scrape on engine cover. so ive put twin dominator hadlights on, drag bars, scorpion exhaust, and many other little bits to tidy it up.

So far ive done a few things but nothing majour but my next thing im doing in the spring is white powdercoated wheels, and cansy apple green paint

Heres how it looks now

Havent posted in this post for a while lol.

been doing some tweaking to the bandit. and this week its had new tyres (wider), new brake pads (carbon ceramic), i got a chrome visor for my aray , an air horn and this very sexy undertray.

First i striped the bike down.


Next the tray was on


then the lights were wired up


then my massive number plates on! need a smaller one i think


and here is the end result




also heres some pics from last weekend the day after my 18th party me and 2 mates went to clear out heads and had some fun

Okay off college at mo so decided to do abit of painting. ive done the 5 engine covers black, and sprayed the incetrs to the frame silver. looks smarter i think, will dothe whole engine in the summer thou, just wanted to get the covers done for the spring :icon_thumright:

Okay engine pushed back together, paint still not 100% dry but you get the idea so far





and today up near the sea, all baked on properly

Stunning job Chad looks great

[BanditMike 0]

Nice look . Have you looked at the chrome inserts for the front? Backed mine with metal same colour as paint work brings the 's' out on them? Waiting for the completed pics!!

[Chadatious 0]

thanx guys

and yeh, but bit pricey for what they are, and im saving for front changing the speedo/clocks, light, and mirrors next. the plan ive got it looks so good .

and once ive done a few more bits im spraying the bike, but dont know what colour do i got bright, or something nice but bit darker, found a nice deep pearl blue, or deep candy red. and then ill sort infils out

[Chadatious 0]

thanx

still not as nice as yours

[trebor4460 0]

you will soon get there m8,

[Chadatious 0]

lol thanx

next stop is koso clocks, some ace mirrors i saw on a streettriple, and the headlight. crosser style but not, if looks chavvy ill think of something else. and them the bike can change colour

but what. 3 choices so far

pearl grape blue
pearl orange fusion
Deep candy red.

looks simular to the maroon bandits, but darker, and candy so could put a shimer underneath for that glitter shine

Mine is classed as "candy red", and I was surprised at how dark it was. Hadn't seen many that colour, until I got it painted . I think you'd be better with the blue or orange. To turn heads, I think the orange would be better, stands out more when you park it up

Okay some progress, ive now got some braided lines, Dominator screem and some new stickers ;D

Yes i know the bike needs a clean its being dont tmoz before hastings may day run, and i know bottom yokes looking abit jank, but next thing on my list to paint. More pics tmoz after the clean polish and wax so will sparkle

[Chadatious 0]

bikes current state. as you can see bot sides of engine have little marks on the front covers, and look how bent that clutch lever is.





some of damadge was from an accident monday, and lever and left cover from bike falling over today. but accident paid cash, so got the exhaust on way, new bits, and few nice little nick nacks

[dick65 0]

[Chadatious 0]

been meaning to post pics of the exhaust for a while. well here they are

[gravelrash 0]

Bikes lookin well nice Chad, exhaust looks good , looks like you still got the big reg plate

[Chadatious 0]

cant afford a small one at the min.

but debating whether to stop spedning an save for bigger bike for wen restrictions up for buy a b12 lump for it.

[gravelrash 0]

Think i'd save for a nice MK1 1200 Chad some nice examples about!

[Chadatious 0]

yeh. and maybe swap some of the bits over. depends on budget when if i get an apprenticeship wont have thousands, but if i have enougth mone id love the naked fz1 or a z1000
