Suzuki Bandit
Since October 2001, I am the proud owner of a Suzuki Bandit 1200. After almost three years without a bike, I am finally in the saddle again. San Diego offers motorcycle weather almost year round, allowing me to ride to work almost every day.

Rear fender removal
To clean up the back of the bike, I removed the rear fender just
under the license plate and got rid of the turn signals.

Front turn signals
After cleaning up the back of the bike, it was time to pay some
attention to the front.
As a first step I replaced the stock turn signals

Holeshot Power Package
After the initial optical improvements, now the first performance enhancement!

Raptor fly screen
Enough performance mods for now - back to the optics ;).
The Raptor fly screnn from BanditMania.

Holeshot high mount slip-on
The new Holeshot high exhaust slip-on: Less weight, more power,
better sound and awesome looks - what a concept!

Various body parts
To finish up the looks of the bike, various body parts
have been installed. Check it out and tell me what you think!

Bar-end turn signals
Hopefully for the last time the front turn signals have been
replaced.
The carbon look cat-eyes were ok, but the new Kellermann bar-end
turn signals look even better!
