Hi

Well I picked up another engine today for the Bandit. Damn thing weighs a ton. Frame is almost ready for taking powder coating so I will take that down next weekend (or work is so quiet at the moment I might take the afternoon off one day next week).

Hopefully get it ready again soon.

The Bandit frame weighs a ton as well. No wonder the bike is so heavy despite having no fairing or radiator to weigh it down.

Mind you, to add to the fun I have found a load of play in the rear shock linkage on Charlottes GPZ500, which is why the handling is a bit, errr, interesting despite just fitting a new rear shock.

All the best

Keith

Hi

No, they are all for riding or for fixing. I also have the remains of a Cagiva Freccia and a CX125 for spare parts

All the best
