Had a nice bonus at work and im buying another bike..fancy streetfighting it so im looking for a good base bike to start from...any ideas...??

Ive been on the bay looking and i think its got to be over 1000cc and as my good lady pointed out it has to have a comfy back seat...damm..the buells out.. ..I was thinking of maybe a bandit 1200 or another xjr 1300 as therre pretty bulletproof.
But i did find this on the net and got it for £40.00 (being shipped from ireland aswell)  i think ill respray it though and the mokes detachable..made me chuckle..

Make sure the lids kitemarked,Theres a lot of bandit lids on the market that arent up to scratch,You just cant cut corners on safety mate especially when its protecting your head.

Thing is if its not i fancy using it on the front of the bike with the headlights in...cool or what

[davidp]

nice

  ...Helmet arrived today from dublin.....what a pile of donley pooh..

Its not a proper crash helmet its a like a kids toy..smells of rubber and you can almost flex it its so crap...i take a 59-60cm helmet and this was advertised as a 61-62cm..yeah my arse it is...i cant even use it on the front end because its just cheapily made and crap,crap,crap...ive mailed him with a place he can put it and i want my money back..

This is what i sold last year...what a plonker...

Now thats a good lid. save your pennies and get another,it'll look better on your head than on the front

go for the 1200 bandit there a nice project to street fighter and lots of parts avaliable and the R1 seat conversion looks great on them i would also put frog eyes (double round headlamps ) on it and under seat tray .
done in some nice flip paint would look cool with lots of chrome and anodised bits

My mouth is watering allready... ..do like the up and under exhaust bit that sounds coooooooool..cheers,watch this space

Just got an email from the ebayer with a return address...not even an arguement about the lid....t**ser

If your looking for a cheap 1200 bandit, a bloke that come's into my work is selling his, its 96 i think, no mot but new tyres and exhaust.

Been sitting in his garage for while.

And its cheap

I was going to have it off him, but my 4 year old said he did not wan't me to crash my bike again

Let me know if you are interested, its in the Weybridge area.
