Suzuki Bandit 1200S with full fairings

I hope you can take the time to read through the site and see just how this treatment could benefit you and your bike. If you decide to book your bike in with us for an anti-corrosion treatment session either as a Mobile Visit or at one of our Venues, you can be sure that it'll be looked after and taken care of to the same standard as my own. If you have any question or comments you'd like to make please contact us here and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Enjoy your riding as much as we do and stay safe.

The Bandit does everything I want of it and more. A little on the heavy side at just over 220kg dry, the 1200cc's under the tank gives out so much torque and power that the ride is never boring. It's been kitted out with the Givi Wingrack system to carry a 45 litre topbox and two 40 litre side cases. A massive amount of storage that more than copes with all the clobber we take for a few days away. An Autocom intercom system wired onto the bike allows us to chat as we travel, it's also connected to a handlebar mounted Garmin Sat Nav, a gadget that has proved invaluable on quite a few occasions.
So far we've enjoyed travelling around pretty much all of England, a couple of runs up to Scotland, two tours of Ireland, North and South, and five trips across to France. As well as lugging all that weight around the bike has endured every kind of road surface and weather condition we could throw at it, and never once has it let us down.

One of my passions is motorbike touring. I bought the Suzuki Bandit 1200S from new in 2003, and since that time have knocked up over 53,000 miles in all year round riding. I'm lucky that Jill, my partner, shares this passion and rides with me every occasion she can.

Now I know not everyone has the facilities, time, (or probably inclination) to go to this extent on their own bike. It was suggested a few times that I could use our spray equipment to offer some form of anti-corrosion service to other bikers. I really liked the idea of that and looked into the sort of service I could provide.so, the 'All Year Biker' idea came about. The aim is to offer as high a standard of protection for motorbikes against corrosion as is available on the market today. Having researched and tested ACF-50 I believe, in combination with the pressure spray equipment we use, that this is the best you can get. The interest generated during the first couple of weeks meant that going mobile was the next logical step.

During the year it's regularly washed and serviced, but given the mileage and riding conditions we put it through it was not totally surprising that after the first year of riding I noticed several areas of corrosion forming. This yearly overhaul is a neccessary evil to keep it in tip top condition; plus , I figure if I look after it, it'll look after me.

Over the next few days any corrosion is cleaned off and treated. Anything showing wear and tear is fixed or replaced, then the whole thing is given a good clean and shine before being put back together.

Hi,
As a keen biker I take my Bandit 1200 into our garage for its yearly overhaul. The bike is stripped down, fairings come off along with seat, tank, Wingrack, in fact anything thats bolted on that can be removed easily.
