A short stumpy seat will look awesome on it! Something off a Dirt Tracker would be ace!

Pics of my Bandit are in my garage

I think an 06/07 R6 seat would be immense as its quite a short seat.

Is the swingarm and wheel off a VFR 400 or 750?

When i raced my old VFR 400 i had the rear wheel converted to a VFR 750 wheel because it was 17" rather than 18" and therefore had a wider choice of decent rubber to stick on.

The 750 wheel will need modifying though. The 4 locating holes in the wheel are not the same PCD as the 400 wheel, so you'll have to plug them up and re-drill to suit. But it'll be worth it for the fact you can get decent rubber on them!

*edit. Or just find a RVF 400 wheel, but they're like rocking horse shit, and when they come up fetch a fortune

Will be keeping an eye on this Warren. Agree with Jimmy, need to get a shorter seat unit to do the single sider any justice!

Go on 400GreyBike regarding the VFR750 wheel conversion. You'll need a spacer. I think Rick Oliver sells them over on 400GB. Tons of people do the modification as there's more tyre choice on the 17" rim.

Even that wheel doesn't look much bigger though, in fairness.
