the frames had a powder coat(cadburys purple) ive polished the wheels and swingarm
the list of parts is
TD04 turbo
home made header pipes
home made inlet plenum
bailey dump valve
malpassi rising rate fuel regulator
bosch fuel pump (off bmw car)
MTC lock up clutch
Trail tech dashboard
just for startersHi Lucky Rookie and welcome. Very nice project you have going on there. What will you do when it’s done, competitions, shows etc or is it a personal project?
Cheers for posting the pics LR. Luck forward to following your progress.
Another forum member is currently working on a 1200 Bandido special too. You might find it of interest…

its an engineering quest for myself just to see if i can do it ive always loved the idea of a bike with a turbo on since the days of the xn85 and the turbo maggot lol i will do my best to put regular updates but i can be forgetful so you will have to bear with me
s’looking good this, the MTC lock up is rather arousing. couple of quids worth of gear there.
keep the updates coming, ive been waiting quite a while to see this, ask Radar
Great looking project, look forward to the updates.
I’ve always fancied a turbo myself after having a go on a mates GPZ750 turbo when I was 17. It scared the living crap out of me, but I loved it. When the boost cut in it was like being hit in the chest with a 4X2.
Exact same thing for me Kat, riding a mate’s GPZ750 Turbo. I had the standard GPZ750 at the time and the power delivery on his turbo seemed incredible. Not sure if it equated to a faster road machine because it was a bit ‘raw’ but great fun.
with the air priority valve ive made and a modern turbo lag should be absolute minimum
the last time i rode the bandit it was 120 bhp and the next time i open the throttle it should be somewhere between 200 and 250 bhp im sure that will be an eye opener lol
i will keep every body posted hopefully some more pictures soonandy
