Handlebar risers: up about 1 1/4" and back 1/2"
The bike has performed flawlessly for 8 years, with the exception of a failed regulator/rectifier, but this will not leave you stranded by the side of the road. Averages 44 mpg on regular gas. It's on Michelin PR-4's at about half tread.
If no one is wanting to buy a Bandit configured like this, I will remove everything possible and sell separately. Just PM if you're interested in the bike or possibly some of the removable gear. Nerf bars, hand guards, PC III, fork springs/brace, and chain/sprockets will stay with the bike. $4200 with all mods and one each screen and seat.
From my cursory reading it appears that you’ve done the performance mods needed to really awaken the inner beast of this thing. It looks great and very well equipped.
GLWS! You have it well equipped.
Great looking highly capable bike.
Where is this sucker located? I’m working on a deal for a bike, but if it doesn’t work out I may be looking to come see this one.
Yep, SW VA. However, the right deal might convince me to haul both the Bandit and the RT South. When does Bluebonnet season start in the Hill Country?
Bluebonnets are out right now.... Ive seen em around Waco.
Looks like a lot of fun. Wish I could right now.
New price $3950. If no interest I will remove upgrades and take the bike to a dealer for consignment sale.
Hard to believe that you haven't sold this already, that's a great Bandit at a sharp price.
How do you like your screen?

I have 4 different screens for the bike. The MRA shown gives a pretty good airflow - not still air though. For that I have a much taller rig: Zero Gravity touring screen with an adjustable MRA X-creen attached. At 5'8" I can tuck behind the shorter screen if needed; with the flap all the way up, it's pretty quiet sitting up straight behind the taller one.
Also have the oem screen and a double bubble that gives surprisingly good flow.
I’m curious how the cruise control works.
The CC works just fine - if anything a tad smoother than the CC on my R1200RT. All the installation is explained in a thread here on TWT.
After a month with no offers, I'm about ready to strip all the upgrades and take the basic bike to a dealer for consignment sale. The CC will then be for sale as a package; you would still need to drill a hole in the throttle stop tab and another in the #1 intake tube. To ease my installation, I also removed the PAIR system. There are lots of pix and instructions that would apply to most any pre-CANBUS Jap bike.
Also for sale separately would be the bar risers, extra windscreens, luggage racks, Givi bags with AdMore lights, Holeshot header, LT can, fork brace, and Cogent shock.
Bike has now been stripped of bags, racks, LED's, cruise control, touring windscreens, hand guards, rear shock, header, can, mirror extenders, seats, and risers. There will be a separate ad with prices for each. One member has been in touch about the luggage as a package, and he will have first dibs if he wants to pay the asking price. Post to follow later this evening.
Sometime in the next few days the bike will go to consignment at Early's Cycle Center in Harrisonburg, VA. - a fine old family operation.
