They looked ok for me from the start, I'm using Google Chrome though, perhaps the problem only manifested in other browsers.

Here is my pic for the day, my rather nice GSX-R600 SRAD when I collected it last weekend.

What Swingarm is that on the Bandit? It looks like it was planning to be a single sided one, but at the last minute they decided to make it dual sided!

Swingarm is the standard arm just polished at the time but has now been powder coated black.

That looks perfect, you've got a good one there. I've got a real soft spot for these.

Was expecting to lose a battle bleeding up the brakes after fitting new lines, I did need the eazi bleeder but I now have what feels to be a decent set of brakes.

Used Dot5.1 as I was told its not quite so harsh when it comes to taking off paint. ..and so it proved to be.

They were on the bike when I brought it but but believe that they are normal ses items. Not really thought about it until you guys pointed it out, will have to take a look and see if they are a normal size!

I want wider bars but most seem to be the same width?

Come on now Pete, that should be as easy fix for an intelligent man like yourself. Think outside the box.

Baked bean tin, tin snips, hammer and some exhaust paste.

Take the studs out, cut the tin up, make a flange (snigger) and fill the gaps with exhaust paste.

Or take it round Liam's ???

No way - The chicks are loving the noise, flames and backfires. As the whole thing has sheared, it's only the brake pedal that's holding the down pipe roughly in place. If I press the brake a bit whilst accelerating, I have my own home made active sports exhaust. You can't buy that kind of awesomeness.

Haha - actually, my initial plan was to rig up a coat hanger/wire to tie the downpipe against the manifold and the fill it with exhaust paste, but it's just too awesome to change it. What's left of the downpipe is wafer thin as they rust with the water and crap that comes off the front wheel as the engine head is near horizontal.
