Hey chopcult. I already have a thread on here about my blue KZ750 twin. After doing everything I wanted to the bike, and rode the piss out of it, I decided to start a new project. While in limbo of buying our house, I thought long and hard about what I wanted in my next bike. I wanted something that was polar opposite of what I had already, something really long and fast with some good power and semi reliable. But still something you don see everyday. So I settled on a oil cooled bandit 1200 for an engine. I chose them because they ran that engine for years, I used to ride one, and they were pretty peppy stock. But I dont plan on keeping the engine stock. Then I scored a HHUUGGEEE front springer. Then For the frame I contacted Cycleone, and it all went down hill from there.
First, my garage. Its pretty rad, considering I've always shared on with a room mate, then had a carport for the last few years.
Second, dont mind my ugly mug, but heres the springer.
Third, heres the frame being built. Its pretty stout, and it came out rad.
Then heres some mock up pics, mostly with parts I have laying around my garage.
And one last one of my other bike on a ride we went on the other day for good measure.
I hope to stay better connected to this build thread more so than my last. Thanks for checking this out dudes.
