① Bandit 1200 Parts Installation and More


Hmm… could it be that I haven’t posted anything at all?
The BITO FCR has arrived, so we’re making steady progress.


The FCR requires a spigot liquid gas specification. Since I only have a half-dry one, I grabbed this Daytona that reaches those hard-to-reach spots. This size is just right.

Since we basically don’t use it much, a large one gets clogged and causes problems.


The throttle cable was too long, so I ordered the stock one and trimmed it to fit.


I wanted to install some Öhlins shocks. The installation is done, but I kept the reservoir bracket simple—the back wave is showing and looks messy.


That’s how I left it.


I swapped out the handlebar and removed the long brake hose, then remade it.


Chain and sprocket… three sets in a row over yesterday and today!


Deco-mainte was also requested, so I’m checking that at the same time.


The black I painted before. Wow—is that dirt underneath?


Ah, beautiful.


Feels great!


Front and rear both look good. That said, the rear gets pulled around and typically has about 5/100 runout.


For now, no problems.


I also cleaned the calipers. *3 of them


Almost there!
