Gotta love the streetfighters,buy a crashed bike ,rip all the crap off and throw whatever you can fit/modify to suit and let her rip on the street.Bandits go well as a hooligan bike and one of my mates has a suzi drz -m which monos,corners and outthrills everything and another mate has a KTM...

The first mod I did was done by my mechanic who hammered a steel spike straight up the guts of the pipe.It opened up the exhaust and seat of the pants feeling was more power but not very loud,so then I drilled out the rivets and drilled 5 x 10 mm holes between the holes .I originally used 10 mm...

It would seem that you can fit a front caliper to the rear but it will not work due to the size of the pistons[larger] and the size of the piston in the rear master cylinder cannot exert enough force to push the larger pistons .Live and learn.

what do harleys and hound dogs have in common? At the end of the day they go home in the back of a truck.

The chances of scoring a decent set of pipes of that quality are pretty remote in Oz and a shop in Brisbane offered me an aftermarket set of unknown rep for a $1000.00 with no guarentee that you were going to get a power boost and not lots of noise and no go a la those ufo pipes some people...

I am sad ,I emailed the seller and he is not interested in shipping to Australia.I say good day to you sir or some such insult .

Well today i STARTED AT 6:30 AM and found that you cannot fit a front brake caliper to the rear so I cleaned up the old one and fitted new pads[EBC].I also fitted a small Harris Racer fairing because I fitted acebars upside down and the old fairing doesn't fit anymore.Went for a ride and now...

My bike is an 86 model and I am using the original rotor and replacing the old single pot crap caliper with a front caliper to hopefully improve the rear .So original question is to make it work [a] extend brake line or [b] shorten the torque arm so that the brake line will reach?Shortening the...

Since it has been raining for the past 2 months to the point of floods ,I removed the fairing and the handlebars I had fitted and fitted a pair of clubman bars I picked up last week.Iam also in the process of fitting 2 projector beam lights to replace the 7" round headlight ,1 projector for low...

that twin engine vmax was made b4 photoshop was invented,I think any frame with an engine and 2 wheels is a motorcycle though from the amount of people riding around on only one wheel I am starting to have doubts about the validity of that statement:eusa_dance:
