Maybe i'll have to make a jaunt up to the twin cities area one of these days.. And quieter than mine? I didn't think it was possible

**Clint** · 06-18-2008, 12:37 PM

Well, Rick now possesses the traveling "Largest Can" award. Sweet, merciful crap that thing's huge.

That new Bandit is sweet. It's smoother and noticeably more powerful down low than even my jetted B12. Someday....

tricker · 06-18-2008, 01:12 PM

some day i'll trust myself enough to get something bigger than the Z... But i'm assuming he'll get a slip on can to make it louder? I'm sure he's dissatisfied that he could be quieter than my bike

What? He's got a big caboose?

I've never met the guy, but sheesh Clint, I mean really, he probably feels a little self-conscious about having a big ass.

You don't have to go and point it out for him....

try riding behind him

Thanks Tim, but he's talking about the can on my bike, not my tiny-tiny rear, and by tiny-tiny, I mean it would be small next to your average elephant.

Adam, I think I'll leave it stock for now, I kind of like the change, and the EFI seems to be spot on the way it is.

The list for changes is short
1. Mirror extenders.
2. Side & tail bag mounts.
3. Laminar lip, or taller windshield.
4. Handlebar risers.

The whole package seems to be a good one.

I'll tell you a story with the above words one day over a beer! LOL...

1. Mirror extenders. Check the Aprilia Tuono stock mirrors first. They're cheap, stylish, and above all functional.

2. Side & tail bag mounts. I think you've already got your mind made up here.

3. Laminar lip, or taller windshield. I'll see you at the Laminar Lip store online.

4. Handlebar risers. See you at roxspeedfx dot com

The whole package seems to be a good one.

hey, where are the pics!!! c'mon you've had it at least 12 hours. We need pictures!
(of the bike - not your can)

BlaznBlu · 06-18-2008, 05:44 PM

Congrats Rick. I'll be going down the Bandit route soon as well.

Though I'm sure some would want to see pics of Rick's can.

Ain't my bag, but I'm sure it's someone's!!

Dawgfan72 · 06-19-2008, 08:19 AM

Please help, what is a Uly?

I want a Bandit sooooooo bad, perhaps by next summer.

Thanks, yeah I don't see many of those around. Looks like alot of fun.

Buells, for whatever reason aren't very abundant in my neck of the woods.

tricker · 06-19-2008, 09:13 AM

I don't think they're abundant anywhere....

Cool, I'm planing on comming down there next year sometime, maybe for speed week, but more likely in June.

I've been to busy riding the darn thing (and working 12 hour days) to take any pictures, but I'll get some soon, maybe one with the Dr650, and the Bandit together, I already have a bit over 350 miles on it, and did the first oil change, boy the filter is "interesting" to get off, at first I thought I was going to have to drop the exhaust, but I was able to squeak it past the radiator hose. Definatly a job you want to wear gloves for on a hot motor.

frostbitevinnie · 06-19-2008, 08:41 PM

What happened to my suggestion of using a sawzall? And yes Adam I can make crash bars for a sport bike. Actually I was thinking of making one with strategically placed rollers that incorporate a hydraulic lift for those one button push get out of the mud, trees and %%%% events.

Mitral · 06-19-2008, 10:03 PM

I think a St Paul Bandit get-together is in order. I have been waiting for you guys to get back from your trip. Perhaps Clint could head down some Saturday. I live in Hudson and work in downtown St Paul!

**Clint** · 06-19-2008, 10:50 PM

Heck yes. Not this Saturday, though.
