help plz im looking at puting usd on my bandit

what is the cheapest option
has anyone done a rgv to bandit conversion if so how
if youve done any conversion plz give details cheers any help appreciated

What size Bandit do you have? The RGV will be under sprung and quite possibly way too short.

I'd be inclined to find a complete front end from a Gixxer 11 from 1990 onwards. There should be heaps of those lying around over there. Most late model Suzukis share the same steering head diameter and swapping the trees, forks the works is normally the simplest option.

im going for the cheapest option though n they r expensive on ebay do ya know were i cud get some n how much n cud i repllace the springhs in rgv forks to suit?

its only a 600 but i got it when i were 17 when most ma mates were oon scooters eventually i want to put summet bigger in it cause i want to keep it untill i get it up to show standard

I'd go with the GSXR front as WT said. Just wait until you can afford it and do it right... it's cheaper in the long run.

I'm pretty sure GSXR rear shocks fit in with minimal modification too. Definately a worthwhile upgrade as the rear shocks are the worst part on the Bandit.

yeah you will need a front end from a 90-92 Gixer 1100, the 750 is too short, the 1100 is longer cause the clip ons were ontop of the yokes, the trouble is, most of them are bagged, worn out.

Yep Brithoe nailed it! The GSXR1100M forks will go in very easy. The Bandit wheel will go straight in with the only thing you really have to change is the steering stem from your original forks into the upside downies.

 

[jiffty]

how do i remove the stem from the bandit yolkes then ? ive got em off n cant figure it out n dont want to go hitting it before im sure

 

[Britjoe]

it has to be pressed out, dont hit it youll fegg it up.

 

[jiffty]

can ya tell es what is the machine called to press it out ?

 

[2much]

Yep that's easy, it's called a press (or hydraulic press). Any decent engineer should have one.

 

[Britjoe]

A 25 tonne PRESS. Most car repair shops have one
