The previous owner installed a skylight that had some leaking. I pulled it and resealed. That appears to be the only leaking in the whole rig. The cloth seams to be tacked to strips on the underside of the fiberglass top. No noticeable sagging. Mostly I'm trying to figure how to transport two bikes without obstructing the rear door. I'd really like to avoid mounting a rack on top. It'd make for hard access and harder raising of the top. For the time being I'll probably load them inside and unload whenever I camp

yup, mahogany. Considering that the temperature swings will be from -20 to 100 i wanted something stable and light, oh and also attractive. Too bad I couldn't get cheap in the mix. I was tempted to strip this to the shell and insulate but, as I dove in it looked more problematic , I couldn't figure how to approach the floors or vented areas, so I sanded and painted the paneling. I believe I'll replace the ceiling cloth, perhaps put some foam insulation in. Anyone know of any problems with this? Thanks

Just finished the interior of my Bandit, photos in the gallery ( I think, If I've done it properly) Anyway, I've got to get back to work nick

Hi I picked up one of the Bandits for sale in the Adirondacks this past summer. It now resides in So. Vermont I didn't regret the expense as the body is really sound and engine runs great. Not to say that i haven't been putting more cash into it. You never see them this clean on the east coast. Being a cabinetmaker, I've torn out the interior and am painting the paneling, replacing the doors with curly maple veneer and adding mahogany counters. Trying to keep it nice without adding weight is a challenge. I've shied away from using the propane furnace. Any thoughts on the safety of these?
