G’day From Sydney.

(Sorry , I’m still trying to figure out why it would only publish bits of my original post so i had to break it up in 3, and still can’t figure out how to post pics....)

G’day Legends. Thanks for the approval. I bought a 2010 GSF1250sa Bandit a week ago. After not being on a bike for the last 7 months due a cager not giving way through an intersection, the feeling of owning a bike again is bliss. I’m still recovering from my injuries but I needed a new project to keep me from going nuts

Previous bike was a tuned and modified Gen3 (2012) Kawasaki z1000. Don’t get me wrong, they are phenomenal in the handling department and can get up and boogie. After months of not being able to do much, youtube and forums became habit and i probably watched, read about looked at every pic of various bikes. I was after something easy to modify, already well known, more comfortable, and mostly.... a bike with big torque and good handling. I choose a Bandit as my project. Even though i’m not riding yet, (I can but choose not to until 100% healed up), I’m having a blast with bolt on mods and learning about it. I spin spanners (among other things) for a living and know my way around a multimeter

Looking forward to sharing knowledge and learning about the bandit from the people on here. Here’s a few before and after pics from when I picked it up, and now.
-Rack and case gone
-new givi tank ring for my tank bags
-new tank pad
-rear fender chopped and shaped, number plate relocated
-new head bulbs and led running light
-new fleabay Radiator Guard
-new Ixil exhaust can
-new Led indicators / led relay
-Oil/ filter changed
Renthal road low bar, engine sliders, oggy knobs, airfilter, new chain coming soon.

In the yard...


1week later..

Welcome aboard Fittyk

There's been some change already by the looks of it.

I see you've got rid of all the Givi gear. I'm sort of looking for a larger top box (not in a hurry but right price will entice me), message me with a offer if it's up for sale (include postage to 5032)

Cheers

Welcome to the forum , looks like you've been having fun already .

Welcome, Sweet looking bike. I'm new here myself too. Hope you heal well. 
Ive only had mine a week or so and only done 400k.  Top bikes.

Thanks guys, yup the 50klm ride back from the bike lot to home confirmed it was a bang on choice.

Chook: I’ll measure up the box, and grab the model of it if you need it so you can look it up on the net to see if it’s suitable. You need the brackets too? I’ll find out how much it costs to post to 5032. It’s in very good condition.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

I have the rack already and a smaller top box, just need to makes sure it's got the same lock system on it, mine is Monokey

It says “monokey system” on the case in white letters. 
I’ll measure it up for postal quote, and take some more pics for you.
I’m looking for Ventura Rack brackets as all my luggage is ventura.

Welcome aboard. I've inserted a pic of my bike to spur you on!
