Those familiar with the Bandit 400

[makenzie71]

Are the upper triples compatible between the bandit 400 and GS500?

gs....37mm  tubes
bandit 400 .... 41mm tubes

therefore..... no

[makenzie71]

damn...thank man.

The B4 steering stem is longer too. Same diameter and bearings though, so you can work around that easily if you have a complete front end.

[makenzie71]

I have the whole front end...but it's on my rat bike.  I was trying to think of a visually pleasing way to mount guages and I like the way the GS's guages mount.

Hell man, I'd use the Bandit gauges, they're hella nicer than the GS pieces - and if memory serves, the B4 has a 160 mph speedometer.

[makenzie71]

I don't have bandit guages, though.

i think i have a bandit 400 speedo....
should be pretty reasonable
