Duke, how big of a tire can you put on your bike?

[Jethro]

Bandit swingarms come with 180's standard- how big you looking?

[Thomas Jusino]

I'm looking to put a 190 or 200.

thomas the swingarm isnt the problem it is the frame. the offset sprocket will shove the chain over and it will rub the frame. you have to grind the frame just a little to make it work. no way a 190 0r 200 will fit. 180 is the max and it is real tight. i have a 1/4 inch space between tire and chain also.

[solo suzuki]

looking better all the time duke! :-D

[xDUKEx]

Claude thank you!! seeing as you are the godfather of these type mods, your compliments are very appreciated. yes it is very loud with the header only. i took off the midpipe and can to expose the polished swingarm for pics. normaly i run it with the full yosh exhaust. hey claude how about them polished covers !!! thanks for the great deal !!!

[solo suzuki]

godfather, i like that!!! :-D

you're welcome duke,
seeing how good you did on all those aluminum parts, i'm thinking i might have to send you a couple of mine during the winter...

again, nice work.

[xDUKEx]

i cant understand why they charge so much to polish these covers i done all of mine by hand a couple hours here and there and before you know it the have the mirror finish !!! im sure that a buff wheel would cut down the time alot. they hold the shine pretty good. just a once over evertime you clean the bike and they stay real nice . if you want to send them down feel free to. i will do them real cheap !!! i have seen ppl exchange your covers for polished ones, but they want 250. 00. i would do it for half that. the guy that had my swingarm paid 60 dollars a side to have it polished and it is 2 flat surfaces. the top of the swing isnt polished. i plan to do it this winter.

the bike is rinnin great i burned up the ignition, luckily it was still under waranty. then i burned up a whole bunch of wires. i rewired the bike and i think i lost about 10 pound of wiring in the process !!! wasnt as hard as i thought it would be !!! i now have only the wires i need !!!
