Bandit 1200

[Del]

As a few of you may know I bought a bandit 1200 a few months ago - it was minging with a gold engine - well I might have kind off got over enthusiastic over the strip down and as a result its turned into a rebuild - so with out further ado

Frame - stripped and media blasted - etch primed - base coat of piano black - the clear coat was 2K with black candy in it




Engine - stripped and cleaned - piano black and 2K clear coat

Yeah mate all set up to proper spray - use a UPOL 600ml HVLP gun -- sed to do it as a sideline but canned in to focus on my own bikes

Nice.

I'm a big fan of the early oilcooled 12's.
Tough, fun, easy to tune and work on.

Good work Del....
