Ok i been workin with my Girl an shes gettin there. what i want to do now is get Clip-ons from an 89 or so and a Kat rear shock. i took my factory bars an fliped them upside down an adding some risers it feels good an it dont hit the tank any but it looks terriable . i also lowered it a bit with my own custom links made out of flat steel . it feels ok but its a lil to low with the kick stand down its almost upright an if the ground is not semi level it wont rest on the stand it will just tip over.....hence i added Frame sliders from a SV-650. the bandit 400 wheel i got from Buddah works great after a bit of shimming on the sprocket side (chain rub) i did tweak the brake arm a bit just for safety sake.
heres a few Pics... Btw i think i an going to paint the whole Bike in a matte Black finnish like the grafitti CBR 600RR.

ok stock bars will fit fliped using risers but dont have the pull back and downward angle like clubmans.

Very Nice!

I really love the paint scheme of the '08s.. Your looks really good.. I would go SM-2 bars and have them painted/powdercoated black.

Nice one...white wheels look good and your mods are taking shape.  Good place for the clock too 

Here's mine, with a custom decal I had made, some wheel tape and new valve caps:


I still want a cowl for the rear seat and a few other bits n bobs but, its taking shape!

Nice looking bike!

I'm trying to move some 89 clip-ons in my basement....see the for sale section if interested...Thanks!

Cheers bud.  I plan on looking into one of these cowls from the guys who had a thread on here and were discussing quite recently...look decent tho it will all depend on final finish and size etc.

That, with some further decals, and maybe a new screen and I think, I'll be quite happy til I change the rear tyre and can 

THEN, I may stop for breath and spend time actually riding the thing 

Ok guys newest update Rear tire swapped Out to the biggest i can fit.... its a conti-Attack 170/50/17 its on a bandit 400 wheel an the brake arm is tweaked.

an the other is i had some custom Decals made for my GS this decal Suzuki should have made ! IMHO.....

Did you paint that side cover red or did you buy it somewhere?

i painted it with High Heat epoxy Primer an then paint with a clear coat as well

Yes, I want to see. I have 160 and bandit wheel and it's ~1/8" from the chain.

Yea, I'll drive by his house and take it apart and check it all out ... unless he want to spill the beans right here 
Cool.

Bandit 400 or Bandit 600 wheel?

Don't forget that the Bandit 600 and late model Katana 600 wheels are 4.5" wide while the Bandit 400 wheel is only 4.0" wide.  Putting a 170/60 RoadAttack on a 4.0" wheel will squeeze it down from it's 168 mm nominal width on a preferred 4.5 rim to only 163 mm wide on a 4.0"  rim.  Close to the same as a 160/70 on a preferred 4.5" rim, only about 1/16" difference on each side depending on which brand and model 160 tire was used.  All are a little different in dimensions.

He bought a B4 from me. My guess is the B4. I'll check it out in a few weeks I guess when I get back to charlotte.
Cool.

Ok so does that mean i went too big for a bandit 400 wheel? i can say it rides fine an it feels super sticky. before i had a Mich Race Pilot 150/60-17 an it was real sticky . the conti-road attack feels simular an i can still dip an dive like before. the only reason i swaped tires Out was i made a minor mistake of Lowerin the bike an then to take a BIG girl for a ride on the bike an it really ate my tire up..... lesson learned... so i ask the tire gurus did i screw up agian?
