    Spot the difference

    The Technically-Not-A-Bandit spotted at Ngawi today.

    The list of mods is now almost done. The next step is suspension, but there's no rush on that.

    Only one pic..? You've got the best model in the best colour, you must show it off!

    Nice screen, though.

    There are two mods on show there. Eagle eyes seem to have them more or less sorted.

    The top box came with the bike, so I don't count that and the panniers as mods. The GPS has weathered three bikes now and has 1,001 uses around the home.

    The screen is new. Fitting it was a character-building experience. It's a Powerbronze Airflow, from Powerbronze Australia.

    The mirrors are now functionally enhanced after fitting the packing blocks. I can now see what's directly behind. Magic! Those packers are available online from Just Bandits. I recommend them for any Bandit or GSX that's not being ridden by a woman shorter than 163cm dripping wet.

    Yes, while it's Technically-Not-A-Bandit, it is technically a Suzuki. Take one for a ride.

    Because it isn't. It's a GSX1250FA. The word "Bandit" isn't written on it anywhere. Just like the GSX650F isn't technically a Bandit either.

    I'm married to one. They're that good. Seriously.

    So the next mod requires a vivid and a steady hand then?

    At least in your case a dictionary won't be required to get the spelling right!
