Great job! The finished machine looks stunning. I own a red Bandit 600N, and I’m absolutely amazed by the transformation.

[@hotchilli2525]

Fantastic. The time and effort you have put into this build has definitely paid off. That is one sweet looking Bandit. Might even have a go at that myself with mine👌👈

[@Timdb1999]

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

[@Bluuzilla]

@@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 ?

[@Timdb1999]

@@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😁

[@xtrider5182]

Great build. 👍. I did a bandit 600 build about the same time. I went the scrambler route but did similar frame mods with pod filters. I love the bandit!

[@Timdb1999]

Awesome, sounds like a cool project as well!

Well done. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@benvoiles3505]

Great job. I think they are nice looking bikes to start with though. If it would have been me, I would have tried to find one a little more ragged out.

[@charliedflea]

This looks beautiful buddy

[@ChadrikThunderCaulk]

Wonderfull bike! Coupoe quick questions, i have a 2000 bandit 600 that i want to do a similar seat style with. Where did you hide the battery?!?! Also how did you get the pods to run(they ran terrible on mine even with 105mains)

[@remahan_gorengan]

Awesome, i had one bandit 600 in indonesia

​@Tim de Bondt Nice project, I alsow have ccusto! how did you set the carburettors under the cone filters? What nozzles did you install?

[@TaintBruiZer]

Did you fabricate the seat rail or buy it? Looks amazing!

WOW!!! Nice build! Congratulations on a wonderful project

[@Timdb1999]

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

[@Timdb1999]

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.

[@daandesanders4282]

Heel erg dik geworden man. Wil zelf denk ik ook een bandit kopen en hem op dezelfde manier ombouwen als jij hebt gedaan. Denk je dat het te doen is voor iemand die nooit aan een motor gesleuteld heeft? En hoeveel tijd was je ongeveer kwijt aan het ombouwen?

[@alanrenfrew9183]

Thanks for this video it’s helped me immeasurably. Just about to cut the frame and add the loop. Can I ask did you upgrade the electric system or stick with the factory

[@Timdb1999]

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

[@sheyron971]

Hi thank you for this video. The bike is beautiful. I have the same project with a bandit 1200. I want to do a back hoop like you. Can you give me more detail on your job please. Thank you

[@Timdb1999]

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

[@hedwigpyka6140]

Ich hab eine Frage wie hast du Luftfilter Verkleidungen ausgebaut ohne Vergaser?

[@jackells-wood4598]

Looks amazing! Is that a custom wiring loom? Or an old one with led adaptors?

[@Timdb1999]

This is just the old one with led adaptors

[@bigladsid9200]

Dude! Im really hoping you can help because ive just bought a 600 and yours has inspired me to go cafe racer, how did you set up the clipons / drop the top yoke?

[@Timdb1999]

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

[@senush]

Where did you buy all the new stuff for on you’re bike? Want to do the same project 👊🏻

[@kriebeltjes]

Nice....

[@jamesbarton-yg9wg]

Great build, where is the seat from? I’ve got a 1200 I’m after doing something similar to

[@Timdb1999]

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.

[@SuperTomi88]

Mooi

[@johns2k460]

what are u using to clean the exhaust/cylinder ?

[@Timdb1999]

I just used regular stainless steel polish

[@RyanTrrrr]

What exhaust did you use?

[@skullpunk9726]

Bravo!!

[@Dylan_Walsh]

Hi looks great , what size did you get for the round loop at the back , also does the mushroom heads effect now it runs ?

[@Timdb1999]

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.

[@Dylan_Walsh]

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

[@Timdb1999]

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.

[@Dylan_Walsh]

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

[@Timdb1999]

@@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!

[@seregatify1362]

Hi tell me how long it took you to do everything?

[@Timdb1999]

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.

[@benvandolen7139]

Mooie uitgebalanceerde Cafe Racer Tim, kun je me vertellen welke sproeierbezetting je hebt gebruikt?

[@Timdb1999]

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.

[@Robert.N]

mooi

[@andreiangelescu7431]

Very, very nice bike. Bro, where is the battery?

[@Timdb1999]

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.

That thing will never run right because pod filters on the 600s are impossible to time correctly.

So called "cafe racers" should go the same way as hipsters, Male top knots and pumpkin spice latte.
