Thats the sharpest looking Bandit I've seen, nice job!:mrgreen:

Did you do the suspension work yourself? I'm sure it handles as well as it looks!:rider:
 
:shock:

That thing is like crazy clean... good looking though!
 
It's good to see that these young fellers are not irresponsible and take real good care of their Bandits...

niiiiice... :-)

Patrick and his crew at Motorcycles Unlimited, in Houston, did the work. Really great folks and very knowledgeable and reasonably priced.

Thanks to all for the kind comments. The bike is really a joy to ride and the total cost allowed me to have too much fun on a budget! :rider:

I've known LEOs that would give you a ticket just for the high speed looks of your ride.

It's the red wheels - those LEOs LOVE red bikes... :trust:
 
Awesome bike! When I pay off the van next year I'll be in the market for another bike; I got dibs on yours if you're looking to sell.
:drool:

BTW, I've taken my bike to Motorcycles Unlimited since it was new - I wouldn't let anyone else touch it.
