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.

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.

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

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!
