If you are looking for a slip-on try these guys - Mivv do a very nice pipe - Euro to NZ is high and their shipping is decent and quick. The cheapest one you'll land for about $360 NZ

Well at the lower end of the Bandit scale, I spent the first day working on the new to me older bandit. Last 2 weeks saw new chain, new front tire, two new mirrors.
today repacked the 2 bros can, found the handlebar height that works for me, replaced manky brake lever with new, degreased about an inch of crud, only another half inch to do.....Tested resistance on th throttle position sensor but real close to perfect settings. fixed loose indicators mounts on the monokey rack.
Straightened up the twisted forks/triples. Cleaned filter, removed snorkel, change fork oil for heavier grade and nipped up the loose head bearings and.........uh oh!
Big mother f%#^&ng notch. Ah well new tapered rollers going in next playday. I dunno what it is with me, I always seem to get the bikes owned previously by mono merchants. Every bike over the years has had steering bearings replaced by me......I thought tapered rollers would have been standard equipment by 1996, or it shoulda had them done before now..........
Oh and chased down and found and fixed a pin hole fuel leak under tank. But thats hole other story.
Still having fun
Great pictures, awesome bike!!!
Here's a link to my YouTube channel I've just finished uploading videos from our trip in May 2017. Got soft Oxford panniers and an R-Jay pack on a Ventura rack to carry the kitchen sink - literally!!! The bike powered up the hills effortlessly. The only negative is the hard seat which we improved with some homemade sheepskin covers tied on with velcro to remove easily if it rains. I notice you've got Air Hawk seat cushion; is it worth getting one?

Air Hawk made a HUGE IMPROVMENT, tried sheepskin, fitting Suzuki OEM gel seat without much increase in comfort.
The trick is with the Air Hawk is to put in just enough air so your butt doesn't touch the original seat.
Just did 1800km last weekend and no butt pain , bought one for my sons R3 for the trip and he was amazed.
My pillion said after the SI trip that she would rather loose the Sena than the Airhawk.
Political Correctness, the chief weapon of whiney arse bastards
