Bandit for the track. The rebuild begins. - Page 2 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I apologize for some of the crappy pics. I'm not very good with cameras and it can be tough to work with one hand and operate the voodoo picky taking thingy.

It really is a straight forward modification. The hard part is choosing the right setup for the intended use and rider. Luckily that was done by Rick at Cogent Dynamics. Hand tools, torque wrench, bench vise and a clean work area are really all you need. I hope this may help anyone who wants to give this project a shot.

Thanks all for looking, and a big thanks to Rick!

Your welcome.

It was actually a lot of fun. I love to see how thing work and this project satisfied that itch. It's actually easy enough to be able to switch from a race to touring setup in just a few hours.

The next "How To" is going to cover the install and setup of a jet kit. Even though these "How to" projects are on the Bandit, the basics apply to most bikes of this type.

Rowdy is going to try and help me improve the pictures. We'll see if it works. Camaras really hate me.
