Glad to see you using a bit of dense material to kneel on. Great work as always

Just watched this video again (love watching your content) after watching your video on the hydro-locked blackbird. I have a 650 bandit now (which I maintain/service myself) and owned a blackbird (shop serviced) many years ago, so it was fascinating to see the difference in accessibility between the two bikes even though they were different jobs. Hope the recovery continues. All the best.

You might want to try then bolt remover that dig in reverse, mine work a treat. Rather than the reverse thread drill bits, may help may not

Fitted same R&G tail tidy up my 2012 1250 bandit good kit,the undertray and tailpipe don't require splitting apart and removing,the factory piece with the back light and indicators is only 4 bolts,and can be removed without taking undertray or tail piece apart or removing them at all,only difference is the wires are a bit more fiddly and I had to cut factory connectors for indicators as I fitted shorter leds.

where do you get all of your bike parts from? especially for the chinese stuff?

@ScarySquirrel 2 years ago

What model bandit is this please? I have a K5 (2005) 650 and I'm unsure if the R&G tail tidy will be compatible with it, as it's only advertised for models 2007 and after. Thanks

@duncanshelmerdine6377 2 years ago

Nice job but it wont pass its next mot. No rear reflector.

@pecheur1951 2 years ago

What brand of penetrating oil do you use? I'm hoping to upgrade from WD40 😅

@PaulWilson-ei2kl 3 years ago

Weird question, and probably a stupid one but did you say the clutch cable was fitted too inside the sprocket cover and not the clutch cover 🤔
