She bought it for me though.

I might go out and get a crash damaged one, chop it and chuck it on when I want to cause some trouble.

A mask is always a good move too when dealing with that stuff.

Ditch the mid pipe and mount it right behind the collector. That would look nice.

I am thinking about doing some kind of shorty exhaust for my bandit. I had thought about getting a short mid pipe and getting one of those shorty cans that they make for the new Gixxer and R6.

Should have a bandit 1200 header and midpipe (with the bolt on flange) coming soon.

Also wanting to ditch the nose fairing and put a dual light conversion on the front, on the upside the nose fairing does look better now that I put some flush mount turn signals on it. Thought about switching the bars but I like the position of the stock bars so may just keep em, even if they are bright "O Ring" chrome, if I knew the dimensions of the stock bars I would just get a set of Renthals in the same dimensions.

I didn't mind the stock bars but the Renthals are much, much better.
