Gus's finished bike.

That it, had enough, end result as follows .

What about those bloody ugly mirrors?
But on the bright side, it looks like its stopped raining

I never noticed them till you said that. Got a fix for me ,not a 100 ,just one pair will do ,or show me yours.

Very nice work.

A set of bar end mirrors would really finish it off

The radiator looks huge in the bottom pic.
They're not as obvious on the less manly S version apparently.

Looks good Gus

These are the mirrors I've got on my bike.

Rizoma.
Quite a bit smaller than the originals. Need to move the elbow slightly to see behind.

Looks good Gus, now you just need to polish the engine side covers like DBs bike and I think the cylinder head cover would look good in crinkle black, like the old Toyota engines that had the "trick" Yamaha head.


"A bike is never finished" (Old jungle saying)

Dont mind those Whitey, got a rough price ?.Bar ends look good but i like knowing if there is a patrol car behind me.

Gus .. it looks good .. but I can't beleive your not going to paint those headlight brackets matt black

And the triple clamps.

interesting spot for the rego label.

Headlight bracket and triple clamps. Mmmmm Maybe.

Triple clamps were too awkward to get at ,but headlight pods were easy.

I think that looks better.
Have a rest Gus, put the paint can away and go for a ride.

I did yesterday, and it rained.

That's a real nice nudie Bandit, Gus. Were your wheels black in the beginning? What paint did you use for the blackout bits etc?

Wheels where all black but the paint was thin on mine. Used those little Holts Matt (flat) back rattle cans $13 each. Spray on a sunny day or it
drys greyish.

Headers need more black. The link pipe black into silver looks silly

Agreed .Link pipe is mild steel i had made up at muffler shop with a bend mark in it .I had to play around with length and angles to get it to fit
properly .Now i have that worked out i can use it as a template to get a s\steel one made up.In the meantime i thought black would be better
than a galvanised look. Nearist mandrel bender 200kls away and then another 200 to pick it up.

What are you worried about Gus? You can do that trip on 1 tank of fuel.

Its in the centre of Briso. Not my favourite trip. There is a place close by that has a bender ,not as good as a mandrel but better than a
muffler shop.Well i have been told there is .

How can a piece of stainless tube with a bend in it give you so much trouble ? When you call it a link pipe Never again.
Does look better though, compaired to above.
