It's the first time I've seen a Bandit motor in a Honda

Dont know if its still on the go but Old School Suzuki forum some bloke did a write up with 100's of pictures when he put a bandit 600 into an old GS550. Beefed up suspension and brakes. It looked bloody lovely.

I don't think there's anyone who hasn't seen his Viper engined bike, but I never thought he'd sell it!

I really like that. Any ideas on specs, such as wet weight? It should be really light.

Well it's a while since I saw any Krauser panniers so that's interesting enough for me. :D

(Krauser don't exist any more apart from as a brand name owned by Hepco and Becker - who sells spares and ONS. I think they were THE luggage if choice not that long ago).

The bike looks pretty mint too. :thumbup:
