    83 1100E Bandit swap. I'm almost done!

    Hey all, got the front and rear back on after painting. Starting on bodywork now. Having trouble lining up the tail and seat. I would kill for a tail without broken tabs.

    Looks like that is going to be a very nice setup. I see you retained the stock rear brake lever so I assume you moved offset the arm. Rotors also look nice. Just adding up what you have into those shocks, exhaust and rotors is a pretty penny. Did you get the arm from Rob (Katman)?

    You should look up plastics repair. There are some products that are apparently very strong. I would not recommend the HF plastic welder(at least teh plastics rods they had). It did not work very well. I used some epoxy to reinforce mine, but they were not yet broken.

        Rear master was a super pain to retain stock master. But it works.

          Bike looks great, more pictures. And how did you do the rear brake setup?
          I have fixed many broken tabs on my side covers with a product called plastifix... this stuff is sooo cool.

          I have built new tabs on side covers and repaired the tail seat unit. So far zero failures.
          I love those shocks... and the exhaust, I want a setup like that for my E.
