A dealership by me is selling a 2000 Bandit 600s with hard saddlebags for $3000. Looks mint, 22k miles, its in my price range, and although I'd likely take the bags off for getting around town I'd like to have them for a future roadtrip.
Only thing is its faired and I really am not a fan of the faired Bandits.
Does anyone know if theres an easy conversion to a naked?
Umm. .. Allen keys and wrench maybe? ... some of those bug eye headlights.... done! ;)
Janx said it right.. Luckily the gauges are mounted similar to the GS (to the triple) so you don't even have to fabricate a gauge mount! just rip the fairings off and throw on a dirt bike headlight. most come with heavy duty "rubber band" mounts, no drilling required ;)
I have a polisport MMX headlight on my buell xb12r (good riddance to that huge bikini thing) and it looks great!
