Since I picked up my bike the front fender has bugged the crap out of me...I do not like the "wide" look. I am curious to know if anyone makes an aftermarket replacement that is not so wide in the front (like the rear section). I flipped the fender around and like the narrow look from the front but from the side it looks kind of strange. lmk what you think
Since owning this bike I see so very little of them on the road and at events. I had no idea the rarity of the bike here in the States. Therefor I had to post the following thread as a tribute to fellow Bandit owners...
This is a 2005 GSF1200S, came factory with the blue and white color scheme...
Does anyone have a link to a 2002 Bandit 1200 manual? Can find manuals all the way up to 2001 but not the 2002.
I am in need of brake pads and am wanting to do it myself, if possible.
Thanks for your help.
With help of local BMW club member, I picked up a (new to me) 2003 Bandit 1200, with 14xx mi. on odometer from local salvage yard last week. :banana
Other than minor scaring on body panels, broken turn signals, clutch lever tip, missing barend plugs.. the majority of the impact was absorbed...
I'm looking at a couple styles of bikes and was woundering if you could tell me how the 1200 bandit compares to the fz1 with the r1 motor in it? Also how well does it stack up against other big bore sport bikes in a strait line? I know it not a race bike, but I'm looking for a good all around...
