BANDIT MANIA BELLY PAN

This might end up as a duplicate - not sure what happended to my first attempt.
Fitted the Bandit Mania belly pan this morning - quite quick with only two brackets that use existing frame/sump bolts.

That looks really good, black looks great when it's clean.

I like it

How much for the pan? Saw an identical bandit to yours new at Suzuki shop friday., but they only had blue when i got mine with abs, looked really good

I notice Bandit Mania has them listed at 78.25 (that's pounds - I don't know how to do pound symbols). see:

But: I recall that was for a plain black one - color-coded ones were more expensive (although I wonder if you could repaint one in your own color). Also, their freight was rediculous so I had it shipped to a local address of a friend in the UK and then had them re-post it to me, which was much cheaper (although it went missing the mail for about 2 months!!).

Good news at the moment is that the Aussie dollar is strong. Also, you shouldn't pay VAT (GST) with an overseas order, so that saves some money.

There are other belly-pans available from o/s suppliers but I liked the Bandia Mania one because of the wedge shape and it clearly won't interfere with oil filter changes. I also liked the simplicity of installation.

All comes down to personal preferences and what you're prepared to pay!

Looks really good and one of them is on my list. Maybe you should just park next to me for 10 mins
Even with our $$ they're still the best part of $300 on eBay

That looks great! its also a crap place to have to polish the Headers, not that yours looks like it neads it! (wow thats a clean bike!)

Hi 2WA,
Might be down your way next Feb. A bloke I work with is wanting to go to the Island for the World Superbike Championships at the Island in 2011. You'll hear the Yoshi R77 roaring as I go through Sale! I have a bit of a soft spot for that part of the world as I was born in Sale, grew up in Gormandale, and went to Traralgon High school. My dad and younger brother are buried in Sale.
Regards,

Every time I get on it I can't help thinking how natural it looks - I wonder why Suzuki hasn't thought of it for the S.

Just put on the bellypan and hugger for the 2010 gsf1250sa in ylf graphite grey. Shame it is metallic and not black as it is notoriously difficult to match. Wife reckons its a bit blue. Would go black if I had my choice again.

Very nice sally.

Money well spent IMO!

That looks SO good!!! I am the original "Keep it original" bloke - but I am sorely tempted. As has been said : 'Money well spent'!

[By the way - how do you get it so clean? I'm no slouch and the bike is garaged under a cover and only ridden on sunny days and I still don't think it sparkles like this ]
