Awesome, good luck quite an exciting moment eh. Hope it's not the damp squib that firing up the Bandit for the first time was lol

I'm hoping she's happy, have the floats all set and carbs all clean.

Knowing my luck it'll burst in to flames and become some sort of demonic beast.

Shitty cellphone video, but you get the idea, as promised CBFB



Sound is poo quality.
Things to do;
Exhaust mounts.
Fix the LHS coil, the rubber mounting is gone, which is the rattle in the video.


I fuckin' love the Neptunes!

sounds a bit beige better than the cbeige, but still...

Para rubber have a good selection of rubber gromets that will probably be suitable for the coil, kinda weird sizes, but managed to find some to use as fairing mounts.

You will enjoy it in the flesh, trust me It sounds choice. You don't get how deep it is 'cos cellphone video = shiiiiiiiiit
I've got some bits and bobs floating around to use, but, that may be a better way to go. I'm off for a big as fuck ride when the mounts are done Rode it up the driveway and got scared the cans will fall off hahaha Really just wanted to test the clutch, which engages nice, better feeling than the CB

Quick wee update with a few pics for the 600, note the uber tasty rim stripes (Yeah, I like that kind of shit)

Was thinking of doing the spare rims black and throwing rim stripes on them?

Some guy on the hawk forum did some hardout ones, start of with HAWK-GT lettering then has a tapering off checker pattern after them, looked pretty good.

Actually speaking of rims, saw a pic of some copper plated rims, DO WANT! These ones are too shiny, but you get the idea

Rim stripes are the business

Shit, they would be neat on a matte black Bros if they were a duller....

Want some red Honda decals? They have gold edging, look pretty sweet. I don't have a Honda to put them on

Not for my bros, but would look good on my tool cabinet if you really can't find a use for em. Chuck em on kb trader might find someone keen.

You'll know when they're here as there will be a big smile riding a Kawasaki very fast in the news

So, no, none yet


Took it out in the rain to test my gear though, with it having that power band it would suddenly jump on power and skid up in first second and third

Checked plugs, still a bit rich, but not too bad on WOT by the looks that's with no air box....or filters.... Ear bleeding intake noise

lol, someone needs to stitch an L and R on his gloves, handlebars, and probably hands too just to be on the safe side.
