    that looks great and would be a cheap way of turning my bandit into a faired bike (but looking better than the stock bandit fairing that's available)...I'm loving the torque and feel of the bandit at the mo so looking into options hehe

    what do people think?

    Looks good - who's it made by?

    TCP Aerodynamics parts usually look the biz too See here:

    that one's made by 2 Wheel Junkie, an american firm...there's only 1 UK distributer which handily is in Bristol. Apparently they've sold less than a handful of these kits in the uk ever

    but..that TCP one is sex on wheels!

    I prefer the TCP one myself.

    How much torque does your bike have then?

    yeh prefer the tcp one too...it's just a pain in the neck to get hold of by the looks of things...can't find a UK distributor!

    the bandit has 66.9 ft/lb of torque at 4000rpm as standard, so over 20ft/lb more than the RR, and the same as a 750 gixxer...but with the race can on it should be slighltly higher from what I've read online

    Cool - no wonder you are having thoughts of sticking with the Bandit then.

    I think Neil found somewhere for the TCP bits, but I might be wrong.......

    just found out that george whites in swindon can get them hehe, sending an email now!

    yeh the bandit has all the power of a sportsbike, just with the streetfighter looks, so hopefully some modification can sort that...it's only 99bhp but that's not much down on sportsbikes

    those farings look the part with your machine. Still means your insurance is nice and low too!! It is the only reason i didnt buy a sports bike. The insurance is more than double for 20 BHP (on the 600's that is)

    interesting point that. will putting a full fairing on your bike affect the insurance? as my limited insurance knowledge always reckoned on that full faired bikes are more expensive to insure than non faired bikes. how would insurances companies view this mod?
    Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
