Hi gents, taking a chance here,
I'm looking at putting a turbo on my Suzuki Bandit 1200. Does anyone here perhaps know of people that do this in the cape town area? Can't seem to find a reputable company.

Why would you want a turbo on your bike?

Love the buuuuuuuuuuuuuurn! :evil:

I'd rather die standing than live a life on my knees.

Its an idea I've been toying with for a while. Would like to convert to a single sided swing arm and upside down forks. Do something different with it.

Hey

You can try posting the question on the Bike SA forum. Lotsa peeps there that should be able to help cos you will probably need to change alot of set-ups on the bike after being turbo'd.

yup, looking at about R20 000. The bandit won't be for sale... its not about the money for me its the love for motorcycles... Who do you know that owns a turbo bandit? How many do you see on the road... Something different.
