Hey thanks for the video! I just bought my own 2002 Bandit and I'm in a similar situation with mine because when it was new it was the "sport" version with the front fairing and windshield but the previous owner removed all that because it was apparently damaged. But I don't love what the previous owner put in place for the headlight and I also want to get a new instrument cluster. I like the look of yours. A couple questions for you... can you please tell me what the headlight and instrument you went with exactly? What do you mean "if you have a test light" it's not too hard? And lastly, have you considered putting a windscreen/shield on it and if so, do you have any tips for that?
A test light is a screwdriver looking thing with an alligator clip for a ground and a light inside the handle. Sort of a probe to find wires that are getting power. 6V-12V-24V DC Car Circuit Tester Light, TuNan Professional Auto Voltage Continuity Test, Automotive Electrical Volt Test Light/Long Probe for Wire/Fuse/Socket and More - Red a.co/d/73FduHl Instrument cluster: DKMOTORK 0011 Digital Gauge Motorcycle Speedometer/Tachometer/Odometer Universal with Multi-Function Indicator Light Display Black a.co/d/31uncbD Cluster mount: SAMDO Universal Motorcycle Speedometer Bracket Stainless Steel 304 Speedometer Mount ( 2pcs) with Screw Nuts ( 1 Pair ) a.co/d/4zAFVM3 Head light: 7 inch Halo Motorcycle LED Headlight , Round Head light with DRL Hi/Lo Beam for Davidson Electra Glide Street Glide Road King Heritage Softail Switchback Headlamp (Black B) a.co/d/gvKjmXJ I did consider putting a windshield on it but after switching back and forth from my other 600 bandit that has the stock windshield, I decided not to. I like cutting through the wind tucked with just my helmet 👍
I would love to replace the instrument cluster with something like yours but I don't like idea of neutral showing up as 6th gear, if I can help it. Was that a limitation of the model of speedometer you purchased? Or is that just the reality when you replace the oem with any aftermarket speedometer?
@@tylerlanelybbert1136 I hooked up power to the neutral light but that is not how it works. I burned it out. Neutral and all the gear indicators are grounded when in that gear (however bandits dont have gear indicator only neutral). So just dont hook any hot wires up to it and you'll be fine.
