I have an urge to raise the rear of the Bandit. ISTR Lozzo had a bit of an
issue with his.

So, in short, who makes good links and who makes the crap ones that break in
service. I'd far rather fit the former than have the back end collapse.

TIA

Stainless steel ones are a good idea.
Aluminium ones are not a good idea.

Speak to BanditMania. The 650 has a longer shock than the 600 and is
what I fitted to my old 600, hence the need for new dogbones. I'm not
sure anyone does a jack-up conversion for the 650, but they'd be the
people to ask. As matey above said, alloy = bad, steel = good.

"It'd take you ten minutes to hack through it with this.

Now, if you're lucky...

....you could hack through your ankle
in five minutes."

it's not so much that I'm bored with your and Simon's continous
quoting of Mad Max films, it's more that I think we just need a little
more variety in the 70s vibe. I'm sure I can come up with something...

There's nothing wrong with quoting Mad Max.
Or Monty Python
Or The Blues Brothers
Or Blazing Saddles
Or The Young Ones
is there?

I'd sort of figured banditmania, but was fishing for suitable alternatives
if they came up short. They're on holiday for a few days so will give them
a ring next week when they've had chance to catch up.

Thanks for the replies.
