SuperHawk Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Just picked up a 2000 Bandit and want to see what changes are available for it....nothing crazy but wouldn't mind doing a few things.1st, the pipe is huge, chrome, ugly, and quiet. Do they make a slip on for these, or can I just cut the pipe down and paint it black? Anyone done that? Do they make a high temp paint for pipes?2nd, the bike has projectors in the headlights, does anyone know of an hid kit for these bikes, or is anyone good with wiring? I had hid's in my car, it'd be cool on the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 is your friend. The things you're looking for aren't too hard. If nothing else it wouldn't be hard to buy a universal one or fit from another Suzuki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHawk Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Thanks, I did some googling, but I don't have a manual, and I was hoping that someone else with a bandit could tell me what bulb/kit I need for the headlights, as there are many out there and if I could find a plug and play one I could actually install it myself, whereas a universal one I'd need a wiring ninja to help.

SuperHawk Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Ok, actually, if someone has experience of chopping a can down i'd like to hear it, or if they're local and want to help, i'll offer beer/pizza/whatever for some help/guidance.

SuperHawk Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Yeah, I was wondering what plastics some of those had on there, looked different for sure. I haven't looked into this much, but do you know if the bandit shares anything with other bikes, or is the ducati tail custom fit?Cat, do you have a bandit, or did you?

Kosmo Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 See the following link, it tells you what kinda headlight bulb you have.....like H4/9003 dual beam in single bulb with a P43T base.Then google/ebay HID for H4 kits with P43T base etc or even Suzuki Bandit 600S....many coming up...your choice.This link is for the bulb type (it is not HID)Info about headlight bulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoosego Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 you could talk to schmuckingham... he's done some mods to cans, exhausts and hid's... I bet he could give you some pointers or advice, maybe even do it for ya (for a small fee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHawk Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 sweet, thanks moose, defiintely will shoot him a pm, i'm still up in the air about the can, i don't really want to drop $500 on a can for a $1500 bike, so I think modifying my can is the best bet. You guys think 6000k for hid's would be good? Seems to be the brightest but have some color, I want that slight blue look, not purple, but not bright white.Or does anyone know if the yellow is illegal for low beams? That could be cool too...
