I've been riding a bandit 600 for the last two years. I've missed riding one of these! Are you guys still doing the operation storm meet ups?

well, Ive had a silver one and a red one. About time I had a black one.

Than cans are a bit of a pain. I've already burnt my new boots on them!

The rearsets are just some universal cbr 600 ones off ebay. I contacted danmoto and just bought a pair of their mounting brackets. From those I could create my own brackets and bolt on to the M8 thread. Seemed a nice cheap solution. The plates I have made need tidying up now that I am happy with the location.

Ill take some better photos and check how much I plate for the adapters from danmoto

I'll check and see if I can make the Scotland and Wales trips. I am touring Europe next month.
