GSF 600 Bandit 'Bondt' cafe racer build 

Thanks a lot! If you have any questions feel free to ask me!

@@Timdb1999 Hey i am probably gonna buy one of those. it has been sitting for some years and some stuff needs to be changed. The front fork is leaking, can i just replace the seals or do i have to buy new forks ? And are the parts expensive for this bike ? Its a bit rusty and i dont know if it runs but i can have it for like 500 bucks. First owned and only 20k kilometers run? What you think ?

@@Bluuzilla bike parts in general are expensive, but the prices of parts for the bandit are on the lower side of the spectrum. If the forks are in good condition you can just replace the seals, they don’t cost a lot and it is a pretty straight forward job. There are lots of tutorials on youtube on how to do it. Over all it is a very reliable bike so I think it is worth it😁

Thanks!!

Awesome, sounds like a cool project as well!

Thanks!!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

@@Timdb1999 how many days or weeks may i ask ? 🙏🏼

It became a long term project since I also had drivinglessons simultaneously. In total I worked on it for 1,5 year of which like half a year almost every evening.

Very glad to hear! I kept the electrical system factory😄

This is just the old one with led adaptors

Thanks! I used a hoop that is 210 mm on the inside. I bought the hoop with the cut for the rear lighting already made. This is the kit I used: www.caferacerwebshop.com/nl/1-led-verlichting-hoop-kit-od-210mm.html

I just used regular stainless steel polish

Thanks! The seat is custom, I created the base using glassfiber and epoxy and glued and formed the foam my self. The upholstery was done by a professional.

If you add me on insta (@timdbondt) I can send you some pics

Hi thanks! The hoop is 210mm on the inside. I had some trouble synchronizing the carbs but other than that I haven’t had trouble with the mushroom heads.

Great, thanks , do you definitely need to tune the carbs before you put the mushroom heads on ?

Yeah I think that would make it a lot easier. Hard to say cuz I had to limit it to 35kw. But it does run very nice.

Great thanks, I’ll try it & see how I get on , any other tips ?

@@Dylan_Walsh If you’re looking into changing the seat for something different, keep in mind that the alignment with the tank is a bit odd. This made making a custom seat somewhat hard. But other than that it was a pretty straightforward build!

Dankjewel! Momenteel is de carburateur nog helemaal standaard, op de terugvoerset naar 25kw na. Wanneer ik op een A motor mag rijden wil ik deze laten tunen, daar zal ik mij ook nog over moeten laten informeren.

In total I worked on it for about 1,5 years. The first half year I worked on it daily, after that I only worked on it every now and then since I still had to get my licence.

There’s ofcourse no accounting for taste, I’m glad with how mine turned out😁

Ok, buy a original

open expose frame was better

Absolutely.

Yeah this is the link www.caferacerwebshop.com/nl/22mm-verstelbare-clipons-cnc-zwart.html

Thanks!, the batteries are underneath the seat. I used two 6 volt 12 Ah batteries in series to get a thinner package. They are about 55mm high so they fit easily under the seat.

@@Timdb1999 can you send me more pictures and vids with the bike on facebook or whats'app, please?

Yeah if you hit me up on facebook i can send you some more details

@@Timdb1999 what's you name on facebook acount? I don't find you. What profile picture have? Thank you!

Hi! These are the links to the webshop I got them from www.caferacerwebshop.com/nl/velona-200-km-h-rpm-teller-zwart-80mm.html www.caferacerwebshop.com/nl/77-multi-led-koplamp-met-knipperlichten-zwart-type.html

@@Timdb1999 Thank you! Possibly using them for my own build.

Nice! What bike are you working on?

@@Timdb1999 I'm looking to buy a 2002 GSF600. Not making a cafe racer, but just some minor modding.

@@a.germane2114 awesome! Good luck😄

I used a Daytona Velona 80mm daytona-europe.com/en/velona-speedometerstachometers/4-velona80-electrical-speedometer-200-kmh-mph-white-led-black-87790-87790.html

Thanks! If you dm me on @timdbondt on instagram I can send you some more detailed pictures of the build!
