No doubt they're good deals on the Carsons parts... I need my 3GS first though.

Yup, the Bandit has a beast of an engine. Easy to mod and super reliable. A bit on the heavy side, but I catch newer sport bike guys off guard regularly. I purchased mine new and have over 46k miles on it.

let me know if you have any issues, if you would please. if there is a big difference between the carson and stock in look, i will pick one up if you find there are no issues when you install. i could not see much of a difference from stock in the pictures. i will look again...

i just got off of the phone with carson, as i was going to pick one up. here's the skinny - carson made this spoiler for cars that did not come with that option (i thought they all did, but evidently not). if you already have a spoiler, this will be wasted money as they are very similar. also, if you have an existing spoiler and remove it for the carson, the holes used to fasten the stock spoiler will be exposed. you will need to fill, which will require body work and paint for the trunk, as the carson spoiler is made to attach with double sided tape (i suppose, because there is no drilling from what i gathered). a lot of added hastle for an aftermarket part that is not greatly discernable from the stock.
