send a cheque if that suits.

Do they still exist?

Cant remember last time I saw one.

Call it an even $120 mate,am in Oamaru so its there or there about.Not sure how we work out payment,ive been buying and selling bike stuff for years but its all been offshore so have used paypal which it seems not many use here,pm your address and i will box them up over the weekend and get the mrs to send them Monday,will pm back my addy and send a cheque if that suits.

$120 sounds great. I actually have paypal so I'm happy to use that if you'd like. Otherwise we can do internet banking, but I think paypal has better transfer times.

You're probably best to try and use a GSXR midpipe, and have it welded on down low to still look pretty. The adaptors I've seen to swap from three to four bolts are fuckin ugly.

I've always thought the old Bandit a good looking bike. I should have kept mine looking back but I did keep all my bits to make another, one day.
The headers in the first photo are Yoshi copies I had made after researching. (Damon who was in Taita, Hutt Valley did them). Cost me $800 but I knew they'd work cos my mate had the originals.
Pm me if you want details, I recorded everything I did and the result. I removed 30kg together with the use of carbon. (the body work and front guard are carbon).
Stage 3 Jet kit, early gsxr1100 cams, Head work incl comp.Approx 135 at the tyre.

This is from a group that went all out in the search of what could be got.

107.5 main jets (up from the 102.5 stock)

40.0 pilot jets (up from the 37.5 stock)

Suzuki race kit needles (same as fitted to GSX-R750RR) set at 2nd richest clip (very long needle)

Yoshimura ignition advancer (running 4deg advance)

GSX-R1100 cams

stock spec airbox with a K&N filter (50mm inlet rather than the 65mm enlargement trick)

Skorpion mid pipe & can

Result measured on a dynajet 150 dynometer

29hp extra over stock, more power from 4300rpm & still pulling like a train at redline.

Enough to pull over 260km/h down eastern creek main chute



These guys used all options available at the time including all the fancy name brand items and the result of this blend was the best of the lot; a 11hp increase over the wank factor big label items.

You can also get Yoshimura cams - which give even more horses that the GSX1100 cams ...

Go here .. look around - I think there is more than one .. different cuts ...

I have heard of a GS1200SS (basically a Bandit enguine) getting 160 horses with the above mods plus a Yoshi cam ... but I can't say that figure is true ... only hearsay ...

I know what you mean about the Ventura rack .. when I don't need to carry luggage I swap the large rack for this one .. and put the sports bag on it ...





I run a Beowulf can on my 1250 .... wonderful sound ... breathes easier and revs freely ...

Try these people - the prices are about the same as stuff here .. and sometimes a bit cheaper (even with p and p added)... I find them good value and quick - seven days from clicking "buy" to in my letter box .. (they stock Beowulf and Skorpian cans)

Fuck changing cams and pissing around. Pipe, jets, filter, go do wheelies!

[Morcs]

110 Mains are more than enough with a can, timing advancer and some airbox modifications.

You're probably thinking of the 2000 onward bandits, pre 2000 uses a different carb setup.

Yip, the early ones run rich I was always led to believe. Set up for a pipe to go on it before it left the showroom.

TRE (timing retard elimiminator) is still worth it, if you like doing wheelies.

Awesome thanks. Looks like you'd just chop the link pipe and attach that to the end.

Unbolt standard can - bolt on adaptor to 3 or four hole flange (order to suit) then the adaptor has a pipe out the back that most slip-ons, well, slip on to!
